No, you were focussing exclusively on the cover and thereby dismissing the contents, which is pretty much the same thing, the classic "judge a book by its cover" argument. Did you listen to the music? If you did, then I withdraw my comment but I somehow doubt you did, which then means you made an assumption based on a cursory outside examination as to what the contents would be. I did the same in the case of Kitty Pryde: the name was /is so ludicrous to me I wondered if she was worth bothering about. We're both guilty of the same shallowness, my friend.

If Ms Pryde though has been in the X-Men then I probably will pass, as Excelsior! is to concentrate on smaller, lesser-known heroes, and I really wouldn't be interested in an ex X-Man, as it were. I might check out Captain Britain though. I feel I may have read some of his stories.
