Mar 11, 2022This book is a treasure beyond nostalgia. It's perfectly written, beautifully rendered, and far too brief. I can't remember enjoying a story more. Read Full Review

Chris Claremont's style in this issue is surprisingly more modern than usual, but it's still a slight chore to read. It's fine.

It's dated, but it's not a BAD comic per se. What it is is thoroughly unnecessary. Excalibur is a time-tested classic and it definitely didn't need this decades-late prequel. It's just a long, complicated misunderstanding brawl that is revealed to be pointless even within the comic itself. And if Chris Claremont wants to remind the world, "hey, remember that I stuck a generic squad of knockoff GI Joes into Marvel continuity in the 90s?" well, that's his business.
