New Excalibur #6

Jun 2006 · Marvel · 2.99 USD; 4.25 CAD
“So Why Is It I'm Not Dead?!”

In "So Why Is It I'm Not Dead?!", Excalibur settles into their new base just as chaos erupts—Colin Hardy detonates Shepherd's Cross Railway Station in revenge for M-Day, and the team is thrown into the aftermath. Amid the wreckage, they face a surprise assault by Black Air, whose agents include the shocking return of Black Tom, who fatally shoots Dazzler. With Sage under psychic siege from a twisted Xavier, the team must hold together in the face of betrayal and violence. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Michael Ryan, with inks by Rick Ketcham, colors by Pete Pantazis, and letters by Tom Orzechowski, the cover by Ryan and Ketcham captures the intensity of a team pushed to the edge.
