Mar 30, 2021We also get some brilliant panels of Psylocke as she visits Otherworld in order to track down Betsy. The images of her meditating and conversing with Betsy while she is in the well looked really awesome and when you see those images you can easily see it envisaged in a movie. Hopefully someday Disney will get to Captain Britain and the mythology that surrounds the character. Read Full Review

Mar 24, 2021Excalibur continues to be a dense, but light and fun read as the series grows the magical realm. It also spares the right amount of time and focus to delve into the long-awaited deep interaction between Betsy and Kwannon. The art team pulls no punches when crafting this colorful magical world that fills each and every panel of this delightful series. Read Full Review

Mar 24, 2021The definition of magic and purpose of Excalibur are still clumsily executed at times, but issue #19 emphasizes the series' core strengths found in its characters and readiness to pursue absurd ideas. When those are leading, it's easy to overlook any faults in this comic book. Read Full Review

Mar 24, 2021Kwannon takes the reins in this issue to bring back Betsy. Its nice to see the two of them being able to welcome each other, rather than continue to avoid each other. The inclusion of the other Captain Britains is a nice touch to show how interconnected Betsy is with them. We finally solved the issue of how to successfully bring our Betsy back, but now who will Malice possess? Malice hasnt always had the most pleasant interactions and goals so I imagine it cant be that friendly. Read Full Review

Mar 25, 2021The glaring imbalances of power and imperialist narratives in Excalibur #19 overall call for a reinspection of the series overall. Tini Howard is certainly a talented writer. However, this does not excuse, nor compensate, for the problems with the series. It is time that white readers and critics listen to the wider fanbase, and reconsider how they perceive Excalibur.

This is the best issue of this series to date. Kwannon is a badass (as always) and the confrontation between her and Betsy is super satisfying. Excalibur is a flawed comic. Tini Howard doesn't have the best handle on every character on her team as well as the narrative can sometimes take confusing jumps. But when she's on point like with this issue, Howard's Excalibur can prove to be a very entertaining and satisfying read.

Excalibur has really been on a roll of late. This issue was fantastic!! I loved everything about it I am really into the direction the book is going and very impressed with the complexity and passion of the story. It is a joy to read and I look forward to the next issue

I usually miss this, but I couldn't pass up on anything featuring the more attractive Psylocke - and I ain't talking British. I like how it basically picked up off the events of X of Swords (which was the last time I seriously picked up an Excalibur title) so it was easy enough to follow and become immersed. Haha, I love how the Snyder Cut had such influence over comics that the townspeople were singing praises to Psylocke for saving their village. Other than that, I am still kind of confused over Psylocke and Braddock's history, but not enough to search for any back issues. I am fine with what this was. - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard

Betsy Braddock's spirit and body are brought back together, but to actually resurrect her, Psylocke has to go on a quest and fetch her out of Otherworld. This conclusion offers solid proof that though she might not always convey them as clearly as I would like, Tini Howard *does* have her plot-ducks in a row. This story wraps up very satisfyingly, and the art's enjoyable, too. The big reveal here, though, strikes me as too similar to recent developments in X-Factor. Jordan D. White's done a generally excellent job editing the X books, but he missed an opportunity to sit Ms. Howard and Ms. Williams down and say, "can we juggle this so that your books don't do 'malicious possession by a mystery villain' arcs *quite* so back-to-back?"

Just doesn't feel like the characters. It's like it is written to make them something that doesn't ring true.
