Excalibur Epic Collection Vol. 4: Curiouser and Curiouser by Alan Davis

ellen_mellor's review against another edition

3.0

I really enjoyed this mostly but the change from the joy of Davis' writing and artwork to that of Scott Lobdell and Joe Madureira was a massive - and massively unpleasant - jolt. I also don't understand why they felt the need to include the Nightcrawler solo story from the pages of Marvel Comics Present. It was one of the worst stories that I have read in a very long time: clichéd, clunky, predictable and with a terrible 'moral' at the end which is spelled out to make sure that we don't miss it.
So 5* for Alan Davis, 2* for Lobdell and Joe Mad and 1* for the Nightcrawler story.
