Known as Volume III, this version of Excalibur is something I've been dying to read because its basically a love letter to the fans of the ever-enduring core relationship between the aforementioned bookend-soulmates. And because this is Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr we're talking about, of course the issues are bound to get crazy, cheesy, emotastic and kindda-sorta homoerotic depending on how you interpret some scenes. But because this is the X-Men and Claremont we are talking about, such a nice premise is misleading and deceptive. They are joined by Callisto and a delightful gang of teenage mutants and a couple of idealists who want to make a difference. Rather, this is the story where Prof X and Mags "eloped" to Genosha so they can re-establish its sovereignty and civilization once again. Some days, I think they are my special slice of insanity, and I allow myself to indulge in them because anything in life compared to this heartbreaking relationship seems banal and boring.Īnd because I ship Professor X and Magento shamelessly, more so when it comes to their hot, younger versions in the X-Men: First Class film, I'm of course deliciously and disgustingly excited to read Chris Claremont's 2004 series Excalibur III which had nothing to do with the original Captain Britain material it was originally about. I'm a rampaging Cherik shipper who needs to be sterilized because I'm afraid I've become a danger to the human species solely because I CAN'T STOP THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT CHARLES AND ERIK AS A PAIRING.
