Excalibur featured in other books

I'm going to try to compile a list of other comics in which the characters from Excalibur appear, as the team Excalibur (not just every book each individual was in). I'm doing this from off the top of my head, and anyone out there who knows more, please add to the list. I'll update as I think of or come across other issues, too.

Thank you!

  1. Marvel Comics Presents #5: contains a short story of Excalibur during the Cross Time Caper, after they left not-Barsoom (from issues 16-17) but before they reached Jamie Braddock's racing world. Kurt and Kitty centric, very cute.
  2. ClanDestine vol2, issue 3: Excalibur is even on the cover! These books are written and drawn by Alan Davis.
  3. X-Men Unlimited 19: recently summarized in a post by me, this one is heavy on Kurt, but features cameos by Kitty and Piotr; finalizes a plot point that is otherwise not addressed in Excalibur, regarding the fate of Kurt's foster mother Margali Szardos after the story Devil Under London.
  4. Excalibur: Weird War III: technically it's an Excalibur book but it gets forgotten for reasons that become clear when you read it. It's just not super great.
  5. The recent Marvel Comics 85th Anniversary Special: another Excalibur story, written and illustrated by Alan Davis (very fun, very cute, a friend said it's like going home and it was!)
  6. X-Men Legends, issue 12: an Excalibur story by Chris Claremont (contains a few mistakes in some details but still neat to see Kurt and Kitty together; focus is on those two, set before the team is together)
  7. Captain Britain and MI13, annual #1; the story is mostly about Brian, but there is a hint of Excalibur in it.
  8. Dark Angel issue 6: The team is asked to help Dark Angel deal with some kind of monster killing people out on the moors.
  9. Marvel Comics Presents 101-108 "Male Bonding:" Focuses solely on Kurt, with an appearance by Wolverine; takes place between Excalibur issues 54 and 55.
  10. X-Men vol.2, issue 80: features Kurt, Kitty, and Piotr leaving Muir Island after Excalibur has disbanded
  11. Marvel Comics Presents 31-38: short chapters as they fight knockoff Loony Toons (thanks, @phoenix for this addition!)

Two more I can think of are She-Hulk #26 (Jennifer is on a transatlantic flight when she's attacked by a mind-controlled Brian, teams up with Excalibur to free him) and Thor #427-428 (a villain bewitches Brian and Kurt with a magical prybar into thinking that Thor is the Juggernaut, and they all fight).

Both appearances take place between the last two issues of the St Searle's arc, when Kitty has just reunited with the team but before her school is saved. The Thor issues are mildly internet famous in comics circles for featuring that time where Kitty went from zero to horrifically murdering an Avenger with almost no escalation.

ETA: Excalibur also appears, in their Muir Island era, during one of Wolverine's feuds with Cyber (Wolverine vol 1 issues 80 - 82)

Spoilery-ish question about Marauders and Storm

It’s kind of information that’s out there, but if anyone didn’t read that one Marauders issue where Storm and Callisto fight, they might not be aware that Storm is leaving the Marauders (and apparently maybe Quiet Council too?)

My question, just speculation here, is who do you all think will replace her on Marauders, or the Council?  I have my own ideas but I’m just curious what other people think.

I think the most likely replacements are either Sarah/Marrow (since she's in the book now, and is already an X-Man), or just no one (the team doesn't really have the same emphasis anymore that it began the series with, and the Morlocks are becoming more important, so maybe they just leave the team as it is?)

If I could get my dream scenario though, I still think bringing Nomi Blume back would be neat. She was already the leader of a team called the Marauders, and knows Emma. She'd lost her memories/personality in X-Men Blue, but the whole House of X setting is an excuse to undo that.

I didn't think Ororo was leaving the Council too, but either way the next person invited to join should really be Dani Moonstar. She has the most going on insofar as running the island/community.

ETA - Alternatively I don't think there's been any confirmation yet that Marauders is continuing past June, and Gerry Duggan is going to be writing both Planet X and X-Men. So it's also possible that the series is just ending.
