Review/plot:
Not much to say about this issue since it's entirely taking place in an alternate future. Technically it's the Days of Future Past timeline, although who is to say whether it is really the "same" alternate timeline or a similar-but-different one. I think writers mainly do these stories because they think of punny plays on the title.

The takeaway is that in the future, Black Air is holding Douglock and using his techno-organic abilities.

Captain Britain (still Britanic, technically) experiences all of this as a dream (but since he was recently trapped in the timestream, we should understand it as more than a dream).

Excalibur has the best sales figures i've seen this year (relative to the same book in previous years). This might be because all the X-Books are relatively strong but Excalibur's previous years weren't as bloated by "special" events and/or that the strong creative team managed to hang on to its relative bump from the crossovers better than the others.
