Excalibur [01] : The Accolade of Betsy Braddock *spoilers*

[djoki96]

Selene is currently trapped in the Captain America series where he remains a fugitive while in the rest of the comics he is free to be with the Avengers. So, it is possible that the other writers prefer to wait to see how that ends before using Selene.

She already showed up in House of X though.

[djoki96]

You'd think so, but the last time she showed up, she got defeated by Squirrel Girl and Ms. Marvel.

Oh, man. Every villain. They ruin every villain. Why do they ruin perfectly good villains?

Squirrel Girl defeated Thanos.

Le Fey was taking down the Avengers and Doom with ease. The formations she fought had Quasar and Sentry in them.

Plus she got sent back to prehistoric times by Doom and now she's here. One could assume she's now much older than Selene if she pulled off a feat similar to Doom in Millar's FF run.

She already showed up in House of X though.

Yes, but she did nothing important. She just was there.

Oh, man. Every villain. They ruin every villain. Why do they ruin perfectly good villain?

Squirrel Girl has defeated Thanos and Doctor Doom, Morgan le Fey remains as dangerous as ever.

[djoki96]

I don't think theres ever been so much talk about a character after shes only had one panel in house of x.

Hey! She's a number one female x-villain. At least, according to one of the polls here, on this site.

[djoki96]

Yes, but she did nothing important. She just was there.

But they wouldn't go through the trouble of drawing her if they didn't have plans for her, right?

Squirrel Girl has defeated Thanos and Doctor Doom, Morgan le Fey remains as dangerous as ever.

Oh, thank God!

[Glio]

Oh, thank God!

I dont know. Do you think they have plans for Maggot?

[djoki96]

I dont know. Do you think they have plans for Maggot?

Had to Google him. No idea.

They are really shoe-horning Apocalypse into... whatever?!
Really wish they had found another character to develop for whatever this role might be.
It’s not that I’m a die hard Apocalypse fan. More like this just doesn’t make sense.

Were people bitching this much when Remender had an arc in Otherworld during Uncanny X-Force?

No because the art and plot set up was much better...

[useridgoeshere]

I liked the issue. Yes, I didn't know all the details but I didn't feel like I needed to know everything to get the point. I do remember Roma and Saturnyne from the old days, so I'd like for them to show up. Although what I mainly remember about Saturnyne is Alan Davis' styling of her. Nice to see Jamie back ... Krakoa seems like a great place for a crazy powerful clothing-minimal omega like him. I think he'll fit right in.

Actually I agree. I think the one data page could have been used for OtherWorld and the Braddock lineage.

And another to tell the readers the different types of magic.

Ill give you guys that one. Just because I wanted one for myself and would also have liked to see those

That could have been glorious but likely time-consuming and complex. The data pages felt rushed as it is, so I don't think there was time for the level of thought needed to do OtherWorld and the Braddocks justice.

Why doesnt it make sense? Just trying to understand the perspective because of few others have said this as well.

Good lord that was an AMAZING first issue. So much happened yet it served perfectly to set things up. Awesome art as well. I loved everything about it. Best Dawn of X book so far

This sums up my reaction.

Excalibur was so good!

[JB]

This sums up my reaction.

Excalibur was so good!

Agreed!! I didn't want it to end.

In his entire 30+ years of publication it has never been hinted at. Using Celestial technology has always been his thing.
