Excalibur, the British superhero group that contains more foreigners than Brits, continues their adventures in this second collection of reprints from the comic. Excalibur travels to New York to combat with a demon infestation, and stays home to deal with their doppelgangers from a dimension where the Nazis won World War II and rule Europe. PLUS, in a bonus story, Kitty Pryde attempts to protect the X-Babies from Mojo's agent, the, uh, Agent.

Like the previous collection, I found this to be a pleasant diversion. It did not grab me to the point where I could not put it down, nor such that I will spend hours later this year reminiscing about how much I liked it or how thought-provoking it was. That doesn't make it bad, just not 5-star.

Also like the previous collection: Interesting enough for me to start the next collection in the series, not interesting enough for me to rave about it.

RATING: 3 1/2 stars, rounded down to 3 stars.
