Excalibur #23 Art

FSaker said...: Wait, Doom is calling Betsy... "BETSY Braddock"? Not "Elizabeth Braddock" or "Ms. Braddock"? It's quite odd for him to address her by a nickname...

Oh well, anyway, the art looks amazing in these pages! And it's nice to see that she still has the Starlight Sword. Not that she needs it, and it doesn't seem to do anything that her telekinetic sword didn't already do, but still, it's a nice touch.; September 8, 2021 at 5:32 PM
FSaker said...: And do you guys remember when a single Fury almost killed Brian? Now here we have Betsy fighting a bunch of them and coming out of the battle unharmed.

Maybe she is the true Captain Britain, after all. Sorry, Brian.; September 8, 2021 at 5:56 PM

randybear said...: The Starlight sword is redundant and ugly as hell. At least color it pink.. the yellow gives me Captain Marvel vibes 🤮; September 9, 2021 at 12:46 PM
FSaker said...: Good point. Maybe down the road the Starlight Sword could be replaced again with the Amulet of Right?

I mean, one of the coolest things about the Captain Britain mythos is how the person has to choose between the sword or the amulet, reflecting their own desires (even though both choices turn the person into Captain Britain, as we've seen with both Brian and Kelsey Leigh). If the choice involves two swords rather than a sword and an amulet, well, that kinda defeats the whole purpose behind the choice.

(although I suspect that, if given the choice, Betsy would probably pick the Sword of Might instead of the Amulet of Right... she has always been a fighter, after all, so it would make more sense); September 9, 2021 at 1:01 PM
Rahsaan said...: FSaker, I vaguely recall some babies that Brian didn’t want at Braddock Manor and Betsy arguing with him about it. Were those baby furies?; September 9, 2021 at 3:21 PM
Rahsaan said...: @Randy, while I dislike that Starlight Sword, I actually sometime miss when Betsy’s power signature and psi-self/butterfly were a glowy yellow and white. Do you recall what I mean in her early New Mutants and Uncanny X-Men days? Alan Davis and whoever colored those issues drew them so beautifully.; September 9, 2021 at 3:24 PM
Ryan12 said...: Those were the warpies the babies that had been turned into mutants by the Jaspers Warp. I hope that helps; September 9, 2021 at 4:19 PM
Rahsaan said...: @Ryan, yes. Thank you! I got my createries with names ending in ies confused!😂; September 9, 2021 at 4:23 PM

randybear said...: Yes! It was yellow which I get but its the Starburst motif in yellow that for me I associate with Captain Marvel that I just don't care for. I wouldn't mind a mixture of yellow and pink like have them sort of bleed together or something to give her a more unique psychic flare since she lost the butterfly.; September 9, 2021 at 5:19 PM

Kiki M. Ishola said...: It's puke the star thingies driving Betsy away from the butterfly.; September 16, 2021 at 4:23 PM
