Ok Excalibur, you have my attention again. Don't squander it, I won't be back a third time.

Between this and X-Men 12 Xaddy is making me moist. *Cardi and Megan be jelly*

Nobody mentions the cover? I find it interesting.
It implies that Emma is playing her "Chess games" with the Hellfire but for Apocalypse she is another piece in his "game"?
To be quite honest it only just this moment registered that that was •--[A]--• 's hand above Saturnyne's head.
I love how "playing games" is echoed across X-Men and Excalibur preludes.

Seems like a stretch to say all of mutantkind is now as powerful as the Externals just because they have teleportation gates. That's kind of always been a thing. Hell, the team in Unstoppable Wasp built their own in teleporters pretty easilyy.
Now that I think about it, what's the current canon on Apocalypse and his powers? In some continuities most of his powers come from him lucking into finding some Celestial tech, including his armor.
Hopefully these "High Lords" will have something to do other than talk. I never was impressed with the Externals other than Selene and Apocalypse. They never seem like real threats to me. Gideon only seemed really powerful in his New Warriors appearance and Candra was an okay foil for Gambit and Storm but like most of the 90s villains she and her counterparts were highly underdeveloped.
And I would have liked to see more diversity with this group. It is way too many white men here.
I think we are missing one member: Burke!
Not the 1st time they forgot him though.

I love this version of Apocalypse. He has more nuance and perspective. He's not just seeing every situation as a form of "This is not fit to survive. Destroy it!" He approaches Krakoa from a different standpoint. He sees what they've achieved and notes the implications. He's still not a trusted ally, but he's not a bland enemy either. I honestly don't know what his endgame is, but I'm liking how Dawn of X has refined Apocalypse into a better character.
