The book opens with the preview pages of Excalibur hiding the Sword of Might and Betsy leaving for Otherworld.
When she meets with Apocalypse we see that Exodus is also there. He’s congratulates the Captain and •A• on their triumph in Otherworld. Betsy calls our •A• on the secrecy and he hands over his grimoires with all his notes and his need of Warwolves. We get a nice data page about them later, too. Jubilee’s having trouble with Shogo wanting to stay a dragon.
We go to London zoo where the Warwolves should be but they’re gone. Pete and Jubilee do some spy work and find out who’s got them, Cullen Bloodstone. After some banter and micro aggressions against mutant-kind he invites them to hunt the wolves with him.
The game starts and Gambit is still being very much a sourpuss. Betsy and Rictor both call him out on it. The team takes a few Warwolves out which not only irks Cullen but make him want to change quarry. He lets Excalibur know that they’re his guests and can have the wolves, he’s going to hunt some mutants!!
