Excalibur by Tini Howard, Vol. 1 by Marcus To, Tini Howard, Erick Arciniega

1.0

Excalibur was mostly a mess. The pacing was abrupt and off putting. The characters and motivations were boring. The story overall felt like something we have seen before, and comes off as outdated. My initial excitement for the relaunch of X-Men has severely waned. I forgot how tedious it is to dive into the whole output of one of the Big Two comic publishers. And I am only digging into the X-books. It is the exact reason I get turned off from comics every few years. Marvel and DC stick to these terrible formulas that generate initial buzz and then turn into a sinkhole of garbage. No wonder their comic fan base has not grown much over the last couple decades. It is a terrible business plan, and they keep sticking to it in order to not lose their core fan base. But it will never grow their business.
