the art looks really good in this.
THE HUNTSMEN AND THE WARWOLVES!
Excalibur faces an old foe - this time as the hunters rather than the game.
Rated T+
There's enough here for me to invest in future issues. Read Full Review
Tini balances humor with action and heartfelt moments between the cast, which makes this one of the can't-miss series of the current X-books. Nonetheless, Excalibur fills such a niche spot that often gets overlooked in X-men, with their close proximity to magic. Battling against Cullen is going to yield an epic, magical fight that I'm dying to see. Read Full Review
It seems like every member of Excalibur is given at least one moment in the short span of twenty pages, and they all have something big to look forward to when the next issue arrives. Read Full Review
If you've been wanting a more Marvel U.K. flavor from Dawn of X, Excalibur #7 has you covered. Read Full Review
Excalibur #7 (Howard, Santos, Junior, & Arciniega) continues to be a fun, character-driven story. While a critical eye can find areas of fault, I think it is easy to enjoy and the good far outweighs the rest. Read Full Review
Whether or not this storyline has any greater impact on the X-Men universe, it's still fun. Sometimes the X-Men need to tear away from their usual mutant politics to just run around, having fun, showing off their power sets. This story embraces that it's a wacky comic book by having the X-Men hunt mutant wolves against an eccentric half-human half-tentacle monster. I also am digging this new take on Apocalypse. He has been long overdue for a rewrite. Read Full Review
Ultimately, "The Unspeakable and the Uneatable" is a perfectly fine issue of Excalibur, but that makes it a bit of a step below what's come so far. The action is fine and some of the interactions are fun, but the issue is mostly a way to get the characters from Point A to B with a minimum of fuss. Read Full Review
EXCALIBUR #7 is a significant step down from the previous issue. There is little to no character development, and the major ramifications of last issues events are barely touched upon. Instead Tini Howard gives us a convoluted fetch quest from Apocalypse that feels like filler and not a progression of the story. Read Full Review
Excalibur 7 isn’t getting a ton of love, but for me it’s on of the series’ strongest issues. The pacing by Howard was exceptional, and this team is finally starting to feel like a team. —A— or whatever his name is, is extremely interesting and I love his dynamic with Remy. I love that Howard brought back the Warwolves, who’re an old Claremont creation that was one of the original Excalibur’s first enemies. I was also pleased with the return of Cullen Bloodstone. The characters from Avengers Arena are criminally underused. Unfortunately, thanks to a last second twist, Bloodstone seems to be the antagonist for Excalibur 8. A couple more issues like this, though, and I’ll start to really feel confident in this book.
Prelude:
Excalibur has been one of my favourite Dawn of X series, especially recently so let's see how this issue fares now that the first arc is over.
The Good:
Love the hunt.
Like the view into Britain here.
Jamie was fun although brief.
He's no Marcus To but Santos does a good enough job.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Another great issue from Excalibur. It's different yet the same and I love it.
1st! Another good read! Warwolves, Cullen Bloodstone...etc
A fun issue here that sets up a promising story for the next issue. While I think most of, if not all of, the characters in this series have been handled well, I especially like how Howard has written Rogue thus far. I think she has a good understanding of her character and how to writer her dialogue.
I think Tini Howard is definitely improving with each issue. This is a fun little adventure that makes this feel like the first issue to truly earn the Excalibur title.
Hunting cats and warwolves.
Surprisingly, really fun. Definitely my favorite issue.
This is fun and that's as much as I expect from this title.
Brackets sends Excalibur off to fetch some Warwolf heads. They whine about their boss's trustworthiness and take it in stride when Cullen Bloodstone -- the new owner of the wolves -- inevitably turns on them. It's a solid premise, but the words and art feel disjointed. "Can we trust Apocalypse" and "Mopey Gambit is mopey" are getting tiresome.
"Time for the fairy babysitter, kiddo"
It was alright.
" I guess it's différent if you're a baby. "
- JUBILEE
Pointless filler arc is pointless filler.
I just really don’t care about this comic, the characters are just bumbling around, sucking.
I like the story reset, but I just don’t like Tini Howard’s writing. And Betsy is just angry the entire book. Like take the psi-knife out of your ass. The art is average. Also let’s get a lock on Julio’s skin color. It has run the gamut throughout his existence so can we all agree to leave him how he is currently in this book?
