What is up with Chris Claremont's Excalibur comics? -

[Wildchild]

I have personally found the Excalibur comics, to be Borderline unreadable because the plots are nonsensical, especially the cross-time caper.

I have been reading the X-men comics in chronological order and I am not impressed with the 90's. Longshot and Psylocke were characters that joined in the late 80's who's origins I found to be confusing and the characters didn't feel entirely fleshed out and the joining if the X-men felt forced.

Now those were characters that had a lot of potential, but the origins were just confusing. I guess for Psylocke, such as what Marvel does with a lot of comics, they just assumed that everyone reading X-men was also reading the Captain Britain comics.

Captain America > Captain Britain.

Captain America > Captain Britain.

The only time Captain Countryname other people worked was Battle Fever J.

I enjoy both Nightcrawler and Kitty-Pryde, both of those are great characters. The Phoenix who isn't Jean Grey I find to be more annoying then anything, because she isn't Jean Grey. Meggan is bland and has no character to her.

How can a comic series with Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde end up being so horrendously bad?

Hi Wildchild, I'm the Marvel comics conflict resolution officer. I'd like you to phrase your problem with Marvel comics using an "I" statement and then we can work on getting this sorted out.

That's just what happened to the X-files in the late 80s-mid 90s. They got so popular they rushed millions of stories out the door. It got to become a convoluted mess. You can follow the x-universe to a certain point but eventually it's a lost cause.

I only really read it for Kitty Pryde. I felt the non X-Men characters were kinda bland really.

One thing I liked about it was that it wasn't your typical dark, X-comic. There was humor and oddball stuff and I enjoyed Alan Davis' art. Not to mention that I found Rachael to be a more fun character in it. Looking back at it, it was a rather flawed series, but it had its good points.
