KINGDOMS OF BLOOD!
The ten kingdoms of Otherworld must decide: Are Excalibur heroes of the realm, or witchbreed to be put to the stake? The peace brought to Otherworld by their X OF SWORDS victory comes to an end.

OverallTini Howard continues to weave an interesting and fun story. I've really enjoyed the inclusion of Merlyn and now King Arthur. Though King Arthur being the bad guy in this is something I am not sure about. Hopefully, Betsy and her team are able to make him see reason. As I suspect Merlyn's influence on Arthur is a huge part of what will wind up resolving this story arc. Furthermore, I'm finding Merlyn being such a closed-minded character to be a little disturbing. However, I do realise that art. Even when it comes to comics is rather subjective. And I am kind of enjoying how this book is challenging some of my pre-conceived ideas when it comes to the King Arthur legends. Read Full Review
As Excalibur starts to bring all the plot threads together in some semblance of an overarching story, the series drops another really great issue that showcases what the potential of this series can be. Another tour of Otherworld allows the fantastic art team to show off their amazing work as they make it all just gel at the end of the day. Read Full Review
After months of fence-sitting on this series, I cannot wait to see what Excalbiur #25 brings as the stakes have never been higher and Excalibur has never been better. Read Full Review
This creative team certainly filled the horror vibe for the month of October while also continuing to deliver a fun Arthurian inspired story. I love that we got to see more moments for Jubilee, Rictor, and Gambit. Read Full Review
All-out war breaks out! Excalibur must protect Saturnyne from Merlyn and Arthur's assault on the citadel. I liked this issue a lot though it does feel a tad crammed with some pacing problems. Still, Excalibur is one of the best X-books currently being produced. I get the feeling the series is heading towards it's conclusion soon which is a shame as the second half of Howard's run has been such an improvement.
I actually really liked this one. I find the politics of Otherworld interesting. This series felt a bit all over the place since X of Swords, so I hope this issue gets us back on track.
Solid & the best this series has been, since I can't remember when.
I'm so fickle. My usual reaction to this title is "Wah, too mystical! The plot is too ambiguous!" Now I get an issue that's wall-to-wall political plot development with minimal ambiguity and I'm like "meh, s'okay."
All this fake mutant persecution is awful. They did crap on otherworld and arent victims
