Missy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 On a recent episode of The Uncanny X-Cast, Rob suggested that we'll see a new Excalibur series within six months, as written by Paul Cornell. Me, I think the idea has legs based on current events in the X-Men Universe. It isn't hard to imagine a handful of mutants leaving Utopia because they disagree with the direction Scott is taking the team. And the ones I think would leave are old members of Excalibur: Nightcrawler, the returning Kitty Pryde, and Colossus. Add in Captain Britain and Meggan, and you pretty much have the original team. However, if this is all about them breaking away from Scott's X-Men due to a difference in ideologies, I wouldn't be surprised if they take Hope with them -- who would fill the Phoenix role.

Dread Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sounds too good to be true. Maybe Deadpool could join up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I would LOVE it. Especially if you got Alan Davis onboard for covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'd start reading an X-Book if they did. Actually, Beast hasn't been happy with Scott either so he might jump ship if he isn't on one of the Avengers books instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I miss Nocturne. Ditto. I actually miss most of the characters from Exiles before Claremont started writing on it. They need to re-kill off 616 Blink so we can get Exiles Blink back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 On a lark I decided to ask Paul Cornell (via Twitter) if there's any hope this might come to fruition. Is there any chance you'll be writing a new Excalibur series? Please! Please! Please! Not that I know of. Where did you hear that? Wishful thinking. I just want to see you write Captain Britain (again), Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, and the rest of the team. Too bad this isn't forthcoming, but maybe -- just maybe -- I've put the idea to pitch it in his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
