Captain Britain

Updated: Guide to Excalibur

January 27, 2023 by krisis 4 Comments

I’m excited to share this X-Guide update, not only because it contains my favorite comic of all time, but because it’s my first ever “normal” guide update! Updated today, it’s my Guide to Excalibur – including a complete Excalibur Reading Order and links to read every physical and digital collection of Excalibur ever released!

Guide to Excalibur

The Reading Order Guide to Excalibur - image from Excalibur (1988) #1

The Guide to Excalibur was the first 2010s guide that I rebuilt to my new style and standard in 2021, which means this is the first routine maintenance update I’ve done so far this decade.

Over the past year, Excalibur wrapped up its collection of the 2019 Tini Howard & Marcus To run in both trade paperback and oversize hardcover. Howard continued some characters and themes of that title into Knights of X (2022) with artist Bob Quinn, which was just five issues and collected in a single trade paperback.

(Howard is still writing Betsy Braddock, but now she has graduated to her own Captain Britain title!)

When it comes to past Excalibur collections, the two years since my last update brought us two major releases – plus some big news in the last month. [Read more…] about Updated: Guide to Excalibur

New For Patrons: Guide to Captain Britain

November 2, 2019 by krisis

Today I have a solo guide for a character who previously lived in the shadow of a team guide on the site…

Captain Britain – The Definitive Reading Order and Collecting Guide

On Wednesday, a new Excalibur title launched as part of Dawn of X – the new line-up of x-books curated by Jonathan Hickman. In this new series, Betsy Braddock (AKA Psylocke) takes on the role of Captain Britain from her brother who is… indisposed.

Captain Britain is an interesting case because he, his sister Psylocke, and his extended mythology are one of only two major imports from Marvel UK to American Marvel.

(I’d say the other is Death’s Head.)

Not only that, but Captain Britain is one of the characters who has had the biggest impact on Marvel’s Universe. Ever. [Read more…] about New For Patrons: Guide to Captain Britain

Crushing Comics S01E15 – Captain Britain Vol. 1: Birth of a Legend & Vol. 2: Siege of Camelot

November 15, 2017 by krisis

In this episode I get to show off my (mostly-correct) knowledge about a slightly obscure corner of X-Men lore – Captain Britain’s early, UK-only history. Did you know that it was largely written by Chris Claremont?!

Want to start from the beginning of this season of videos? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.

Episode 15 features Captain Britain – Volume 1: Birth of a Legend (Amazon / eBay) and Captain Britain – Volume 2: Siege of Camelot (Amazon / eBay), both of which are covered in the Guide to Captain Britain & Excalibur.
