Once & Future #12

Once And Future #12 wraps up the Beowulf story perfectly. There's really not much else to say about just how good this issue is. Gillen, Mora, and Bonvillain knock it out of the park with every moment, balancing action and exposition, putting a bow on this phase of the story while also setting things up for the future. Once And Future is one of comics' best-kept secrets, and this issue keeps that up.. Read Full Review

This is such a fun comic. Originally limited to 6 issues, its ongoing success keeps it on my pull list. Kieron Gillen weaves a fantastic tale, and Dan Mora's art brings the story to another level. I look forward to this comic each month, and this issue doesn't disappoint. Pull it, you won't regret it!
