Press Release

September 17th, 2007 - Legendary X-writer Chris Claremont (Exiles, New Excalibur) and newcomer Jaun Santacruz present X-Men: Die By The Sword #1 (of 5), an x-citing new limited series teaming up two of Marvel’s popular X-teams. Re-uniting Betsy and Brian Braddock, better known as Psylocke and Captain Britain, the events of this series affect the future of both teams—and tie directly into the shocking Exiles #100!

In an epic battle to save the microverse, Excalibur and the Exiles join forces for what may be the last time! Captain Britain and Psylocke have not seen each other since Betsy was first sent to the Crystal Palace; however the Braddock family reunion is quickly cut short when a group of Excalibur’s most diabolical foes conspire to conquer the various worlds frequented by the Exiles.

To save their universe and the countless others in jeopardy, Excalibur joins forces with the Exiles and hunts down their reality-hopping adversaries. But who exactly are the true conspirators behind this plot? And how did they find out about the multiple universes and the Exiles’ Crystal Palace?

The answers to these questions and more come to light when the Exiles and Excalibur meet in X-Men: Die By the Sword #1.
