  Excalibur (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Excalibur is a Marvel Comics superhero group, an offshoot of the X-Men, usually based in the United Kingdom.
Between Excalibur’s disbandment and reformation, a short-lived, ongoing series entitled Excalibur chronicled the efforts of X-Men founder Charles Xavier and his former nemesis Magneto to rebuild the mutant homeland of Genosha.
Originally solicited as Excalibur: Sword of Power, the subtitle was absent from the published issues, and, due to an error, the indicia described it as Excalibur volume 1.

 Comics Central Homepage
Comic Books, at their best, can be not only something entertaining to read on a warm summer afternoon but also a reflection of the state of our society and the world around us.
In German, Comics is a borrowed word, and the fact that there are so many synonyms for it seems to indicate that the word is not satisfying.
Comics Central is blending all types of comics that includes Image comics and Darkhorse comics.

Excalibur was founded in 1974 by Peter Fagnant, 50, a bespectacled, bearded, ponytailed Yoda figure who still runs it with Debbie, his 28-year-old daughter, and two other employees.
In appearance, Excalibur is a far cry from the scruffy Cosmic Comics.
Excalibur opens at 11 a.m., and by lunchtime on this particular Wednesday, it's apparent from the assembled customers that comics appeal to a wider range of readers than popular prejudices would have us believe.

 TG Comics
One of the recurring criticisms of the comics industry is the way that women are often depicted.
Although the characters are generally written as strong, independent, courageous women, they are almost invariably drawn as overendowed drop-dead gorgeous femme fatales in skimpy costumes making gratuituously sexy poses.
Of course, this also means that when a man is transformed into a woman in the comics, the same rules generally apply.

 Amazon.com: Excalibur Vol. 1: Forging The Sword (X-Men): Books: Chris Claremont,Aaron Lopresti   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Claremont's quality has slipped dramatically over the years, he spends too much time having characters needlessly explaining their powers or how they're using their powers, a job that is supposed to be handled by the artist who would do fine on his own, but with Claremont's poor writing it seems kinda redundant.
I recommend avoiding the new Excalibur, although the original series was great this one is a complete waste of paper and the penciler's talent.
Back when comics were geared towards children, Chris Claremont brought style, craft, and maturity when he took over the X-men back in the seventies.

While the final issue of House of M is on the horizon, the effects of the miniseries’ storyline have already been strongly hinted at, and as a result, the way a handful of new series will integrate into the revised X-verse is becoming clearer as well, and not to mention, creators are freer to talk.
