Excalibur fans. How was the Cross Time Caper really?
I've picked up some of CTC, but can't bring myself to buy the rest. The only real reason I haven't is because, to be honest, I just want some more of Nightcrawler. And I don't know if the CTC can fill that void. But should I pick it up anyway? I have a decent amount now, is it really worth it to pick up the rest?

Well i picked up some CTC issues for me and i liked so much, so i'm picking the rest .
Not Excalibur's finest moment, but not the worst
The only part of the CTC to really spotlight Kurt was the Kurt Wagner, Warlord of ??? 2-parter (16 & 17, I think...don't have the books handy). Despite being about 4 issues too long, it wasn't all that bad in retrospect. What was bad was Ben Raab's run towards the last two years of the book...especially when he had Kurt out of the book for six months! Blech.

as far as i'm concerned the series REALLY ended when Ellis left... the Raab issues are merely a bad dream... atleast that's what i keep telling myself :p

*nods sagely* ah yes..
THe CTC -
Pros:
Alan Davis and Neary Art
Kurt not wearing much
plenty of Kurt really....
Hilarious... (Captain Britain getting turned into a Duck - and is that version of Alysande Stuart *flirting* with Kurt or is that my imagination??)
Cons:
it did go on for a bit,
The filler issues *shrugs* mneh,
I got this years after the CTC (Just as Ellis was finishing up) so not as suspensful for me....
basically i enjoyed it!

I liked the CTC line. I have a few back issues, seeing as I was only three at the time of publication or so. I did like the soul sword line better. I hated Wisdo though. KILL WISDOM!!!
If he was real...well, he can be in my head...many other things are...I'm babbling...where is my coffee...?

I loved the Cross Time Caper! I think that’s because I started reading Excalibur with the knowledge that it was supposed to be funny: it was the half-hour sitcom of the Marvel comic world. So the whole idea behind that storyline was just great IMO. And I think Davis did his best work on Excalibur - it was obvious that he really liked working with those characters.
