New Excalibur #20

In "The Best Laid Plans," Excalibur clashes with Shadow-X at Crossmore prison, emerging victorious—though Lionheart slips away during the fight. Meanwhile, Sage moves deep within Albion’s ranks, earning the trust of his new Shadow Captains, as Albion plunges all of England into darkness with a sudden, total blackout. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Jeremy Haun, with inks by Dave Meikis and Sean Parsons, colors by Laura Villari, and letters by Tom Orzechowski, this 2007 Marvel issue features a cover by Scot Eaton and John Dell.
