I liked how this chapter of the Excalibur story pays attention to Kitty Pryde's dragon Lockheed and the inter-dimensional gatekeeping bot Widget. People tend to overlook these but Lockheed and Widget are important members of the Excalibur team too!
The one-and-done story involves a character I've yet to ever encounter. Called Devil-Slayer. He's a cape with a cape that houses a vast repertoire of weapons and other tools of defense against the dark arts. It was originally the property of a demon or wizard and the minions of the villain will do anything to get it back. Like set a trap inside a crowded airport lounge filled with demons disguised as humans.
Lastly, The Black Panther story finally comes to a close. Very satisfying. In fact, it was so good I read this chapter twice.
I wonder two things about this story. 1. Why was is so gosh darn long? Was in supposed to be a mini-series or graphic novel that got scraped? And 2. Was this story ever collected as a trade paperback? Being so huge, I'd be surprised if it was never collected.
Answer to question 2 upon further research- it was- in 2018! Now I wonder why it took nearly 30 years to get collected!
Another good issue. Can't wait to see who will be taking Black Panther's lengthy residency in the pages of MCP new...
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
