The King is Weird… Long Weird the King!
As Excalibur (hopefully) wraps up its Otherworld arc, the place gets a new ruler… and he’s a weirdo pervert. At least he’s a Braddock! Today we have dueling siblings, crushed nuts, and perhaps the quickest resurrection of the Dawn of X era!

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this issue of Excalibur. I'd actually given it up with issue 5 so maybe I should have given it more time. Although one interesting story out of 6 is probably not enough.
Nice to see some nice character bits in this issue as well. This is where I think Tini Howard excels and I wish she'd focus more on interpersonal relationships rather than sword and sorcery nonsense.
Marcus To continues to impress. Particularly in the Brian and Betsy chat when he has to do some subtle acting. Outstanding.
