Once and Future #10 - REVIEW

in

By Benjamin Morin — Once and Future has long been a series I’d been meaning to get around to reading, but I haven't had a chance due to my ever expanding backlog. I have only heard great things about this book, which is no surprise considering the creative talent behind it, so this weekend I finally sat down to take it all in and I came away extremely fulfilled. As someone who loves mythology and legends of old, this series taps into the heart of what makes these myths so fun and gives them a modern twist. This latest issue, in particular, immediately swept me up in its Arthurian adventure and did not let go.

REVIEW: Once and Future #8 returns with a slow issue

in

Keigen Rea — Once & Future isn’t a book that would normally appeal to me. I don’t really like stories about knights unless they are of the Jedi variety, and King Arthur doesn’t boost my interest either.

So, there’s a lot to live up to as we set out on a new arc for this book. Also, this has been an incredibly terrible month for, you know — everyone, so there couldn’t have been better timing for this to reappear.

REVIEW: Once and Future #6 is a fantastic end to a stellar first arc

in

By Jarred A. Luján — By this point, you’ve surely heard of Once & Future, but just in case, I’ll give you a quick primer anyway. It’s a Kieron Gillen/Dan Mora collaboration that takes Arthurian legend, an unrivaled character dynamic between a guy and his grandmother, and just a hint of English nationalism, and it stuffs it all into a blender and puts the sucker on high. What results is a topsy turvy tale with some of the best art in the industry, but enough about the book in general, let’s talk about Once and Future #6, the conclusion of the first arc.
