Spoilers, Top Story

Marvel Comics Universe and Excalibur #1 Spoilers and Review follows.

Apocalypse Villain No More As Dawn Of X Gets A New Captain Britain…

…But Why? Plus Gambit!

We open with a Dramatis Personae that is surprising Wolverine free, but one of my fave mutants Gambit is present.

Psylocke and Captain Britain’s all-powerful and demented mutant brother Jamie Braddock aka Monarch is alive…

…and a problem for the Braddocks.

Later, Psylocke and Captain Britain…

…go off to fight the Otherworld threat of Morgan Le Fey…

…where Captain Britain aka Brian Braddock is corrupted?!

Apocalypse, Gambit and his wife Rogue try to help…

…and it had an effect including…

…making Rogue into Sleeping Beauty?

Brian Braddock relinquishes his Captain Britain bauble to his sister Psylocke aka Betsy Braddock and he tells her to leave him…

…she returns to an angry Gambit…

…and is revealed as the new Captain Britain…

…as a threat remains.

The Pulse:

A fun read, roller coaster with solid art. Entertaining with drama, action and mystery. Best of the bunch so far. 9 out of 10.
