Excalibur #124

Excalibur #124 was published by Marvel Comics in August 1998, serving as one of the final issues of the series before its initial conclusion. The book was part of the 'X-Men' family of titles, specifically exploring the adventures of a British-based mutant super-team. By this stage in the publication history, the series was navigating the closing chapters of a long-running narrative that had evolved significantly from its early Chris Claremont-penned days, focusing on a roster that balanced high-stakes action with the quirky, character-driven dynamics for which the title was known.

The issue features pencils by artist Cary Nord and is scripted by Ben Raab, who took over the reins toward the end of the series' run. The design and creative direction of this era aimed to wrap up lingering plot threads and transition the characters toward new status quos within the wider Marvel Universe. Reception at the time reflected the challenges of a title nearing its cancellation, with readers noting the transitional nature of the storytelling as the creative team worked to provide a definitive sense of closure for the long-standing mutant team.
