4.0 out of 5 stars Second volume in Alan Davis' Excalibur run...
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2010

...but not all Davis.

This book is 240 pages of Excalibur (issues #51 - #58) and Excalibur vs. the X-Men.

The parts of the book by Davis (penciling and writing) are excellent, tying up some very longstanding loose ends and advancing some very longstanding subplots. Like the best of Excalibur they are deeply steeped in the Captain Britain back story rather than that of the Marvel universe as a whole.

The other parts of the book are well written and entertaining for the most part but rely heavily on guest stars like the X-Men and Spider-Man. The art is not up to the standard set by Alan Davis. I am happy they were included; I'm still disappointed that the issues between Excalibur Classic #5 and Excalibur Visionaries: Alan Davis Volume 1 are still "orphaned".

As indicated above I strongly urge that the Excalibur story be read in order starting with Excalibur Classic #1. If one doesn't, one will be very confused and bewildered. I agree with other reviewers about billing this as an Alan Davis book but I tend to see these volumes as continuations of the Excalibur Classic series. As such I'm buying for Excalibur and not Alan Davis and am not as bothered as some might be. The prospective buyer should use their own judgment in the matter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, but understand that this is Alan Davis the writer, not the artist
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2011
I'm thankful that Marvel has chosen to collect Alan Davis' fantastic run on Excalibur in its entirety. This second volume includes some great issues and moments, including Excalibur 52 which recounts Rachel's backstory and features a Jean Grey guest appearance, the first on-page reunion between Kitty and the X-Men and an appearance by Psylocke.

Alan Davis draws very few of the issues in this book, so this is primarily Alan Davis the Writer, not the Artist. A few of the issues are fill-in issues written by Scott Lobdell. Excalibur was frequently was published bi-weekly during this time period, so filler issues were tossed in and Alan could not keep up with the pace of writing and drawing every issue.

These are some great issues of Excalibur that X-Men fans will truly appreciate. If you are a fan of Alan Davis' artwork, then wait for the next volume of Excalibur which will feature some of Alan's best artwork of his career.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2010
Sure, there's some Alan Davis in here, and it's the fine work you've come to expect from him, but it's maybe 60% of the book. The rest are fill-in artists, including James Fry, Dwayne Turner, and a young Joe Madureira, and they are good in their own ways, but their names aren't the big selling point on the cover of the book are they?

(Since the collection ends at issue #58, and Davis left the book again at #67, I guess we can expect to get soaked for at least one more collection with Davis' name tacked on to it.)

2.0 out of 5 stars I was frustrated as well. Very little Davis in this one.
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2011
And many of the stories that are included, don;t actually have much to do with the story Alan was telling. Would rather pay for a giant hardcover of just the Davis stuff.

Excalibur Visionaries: Alan Davis Volume 2 TPB

As per some of the other reviews - worth getting just for the continuing Excalibur story, but Alan (Watchmen) Davis art fans could be disappointed as not all stories have been drawn by him.

Some nice team-ups with Spider-Man & the X-Men, i was glad that Marvel published this as its a fun read - but would say that this is really for Marvel completists & fan-atics only.

Cheers
