I just picked up the first 42 issues, complete blind buy, and was reading through old threads. I'm thinking of binding them for my first try, but I don't want to waste money on mediocrity. Does it get better post-Davis too? Post Davis, you've got the Scott Lobdell issues which I couldn't stand. Then comes Warren Ellis' run from 83-103 which is quite enjoyable. Then the series ends with Ben Raab who's okayish but leans toward mediocre. The last two issues with Captain Britain's wedding were good, though. Cards on the table though, I'm a big fan of Captain Britain. So how I felt about the Excalibur writers were purely dependant on how they treated Brian Braddock. So for me the best runs were Alan Davis followed by Warren Ellis followed a very distant third by Claremont (who gave CB prominence but treated him not particularly well).
