Excalibur #4 Spoilers

Spoilers: Excalibur visits the Buckingham Palace and Betsy attends a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II herself, while anti-mutant protests grow in the streets. Gambit, Jubilee and Rictor deal with the angry crowd. Betsy announces that Excalibur is officially sanctioned by the Queen and that the team is accountable to her. An act is enacted establishing that the Crown recognizes Otherworld as an extraplanar realm under the representation and protection of Captain Britain, who shall remain a servant to the Crown in all Earthly matters. Excalibur regroups at the Lighthouse and they each attend to their duties. Jubilee returns to Krakoa with Shogo, where she meets Meggan and Maggie. Meggan explains that anti-mutant hysteria caused her to come to Krakoa for protection. Meggan also learns that Jamie Braddock is alive. Meanwhile, Gambit and Rictor are tasked by Apocalypse to retrieve the magical crystals deep beneath the moorlands. The crystals are guarded by the Druids, who welcome Rictor as one of their own as a fellow Earth-wielder. Gambit on the other hand is attacked for attempting to steal their sacred stones. Elsewhere, Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom visit the Meetinghouse of Coven Akkaba, where they meet the high-priests Marianna Stern and Reuben. They soon learn that the Coven was responsible for exposing Betsy to the people of Britain in order to provoke anti-mutant sentiment. Coven Akkaba is adamant on proving the Queen was wrong in placing such confidence on Betsy. The Coven unleashes magical beasts from Otherworld on Earth-616 through the gate on Morgan’s castle. At the Lighthouse, Apocalypse warns that the war has reached their shores and several dragons make their way to the coast. Apocalypse reveals that he and Rogue had been working since the beginning. Rogue finally wakes up.

Exalibur #3 Spoilers

Spoilers: With his powers out of control, Rictor has isolated himself and succumbed to depression, which is why he chose not to go to Krakoa yet. A voice calls out to him asking him to come home. Meanwhile, in Camelot, the Krakoan flowers won’t stop growing in Morgan Le Fay’s scrying pool. Morgan orders Marianna Stern from Coven Akkaba to expose Betsy’s status as Captain Britain to the people of England, in hopes that this will turn them against their new Captain, since Betsy is a mutant and citizen of Krakoa. Elsewhere, Betsy, Jubilee and Gambit learn that Shogo is the dragon and can take whatever form he chooses in Otherworld as he’s a child with pure imagination, which is something fairies love. Remy grows worried about Rogue, but Betsy convinces him to rescue Brian first. Shogo offers a ride on his dragon back and take the three X-Men to Morgan’s castle. Captain Britain, Gambit and Jubilee assault Morgan’s castle and engage her soldiers. Brian Braddock, still under Morgan’s thrall, as her Dark Champion, is sent to slay the pretender. While Betsy and Brian duel, Dragon Shogo breathes fire and helps the three of them to retreat. Morgan warns Betsy that there’s nothing left of Brian for her to save. Back in the Lighthouse, Apocalypse decides he needs a mutant who master stones as his magical stones aren’t sufficient to empower the gate into the Otherworld. Apocalypse reaches out to Rictor personally and takes him to the Lighthouse. Pete Wisdom shows up and asks them about Captain Britain’s whereabouts as the Queen herself wants to see her.
