Talk:Excalibur (comic book)

Paste
Don't want to outright junk this due to the links, but a huge, clumsy and incomplete table does this page no good. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:27, 13 May 2023 (UTC) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:27, 13 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've filled out the bits I know about. A couple of explanations and observations: -
 * There is a lot of overlap between this page and Excalibur (comics). A merge isn't the answer IMO as Excalibur-the-comic doesn't always feature Excalibur-the-team and Excalibur-the-team aren't limited to appearing in Excalibur-the-comic. Stuff like rosters belong on Excalibur-the-team's page I feel, with the fictional changes of line-up only of passing relevance here. I am hoping to look at the companion article and revise it along those lines, but I'll wait to see if anyone vehemently disagrees with that notion first.
 * Consistency is needed, which is why I've chopped the above table and the roster table because unless we're going to do them for all the different volumes (and can you imagine what a table of 125 issues would look like?) it's just fancruft, and not even balanced fancruft. This does have the unfortunate effect of currently skewing the page towards the first volume because that's the stuff I have done the research for; it is not a value judgement and this page is only about 20% complete, not a finished article.
 * Covers. I think the infoboxes are justified in terms of consistency but I feel the sections for Vols 2-4 & New need to be beefed up in length before we drop covers in there. the sources to do so doubtless exist but it's outside my area.
 * Information on post-Davis material. While I wasn't too surprised to not find much about the book's last days or the 2001 material I was a bit surprised there isn't more information on Ellis' run out there considering his following and willingness to talk at length about his work, even allowing for his standing having fallen considerably in the past couple of years.
