From their lighthouse base, Excalibur fights to uphold Xavier's dream, UK style - tackling the ruthless Technet, the ferocious Warwolves, the bizarre Crazy Gang and the wild Warpies! But when the "Cross-Time Caper" sweeps Excalibur across the Marvel Multiverse, it will take a miracle for them to find their way home! And has someone been manipulating the team from the shadows since the very beginning? It's cosmic adventure with a comedic twist in a beloved X-book like no other!
