Once & Future #2

Once and Future #2 is as good as the first issue that came before it. The hype is very real on this book and very, very justified. Read Full Review

Once and Future #2 builds on the momentum of the first issue by continuing to highlight its brilliant premise and the talent of its creative team. It also reinvents the legend of King Arthur as a dark fantasy. Given where this issue leads off, I expect issue three to be action-packed while delivering more acerbic dialogue and twists on familiar myths. Read Full Review

Dan Mora's art is amazing. Everything from the characters to the brutal finale look great. I love the visual style of this story and can't wait to see where it goes next. Read Full Review

Arthurian myths have always been heroic, but Gillen is turning that idea on its head with this book. Its a beautiful little subversion. Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 9.6 Each creator's work is outstanding all on its own. Working together in concert, "Once and Future" #2 becomes the stuff of legend. Read Full Review

Once & Future #2 was both striking and bone-chilling, with a dark tale that has only just begun. Read Full Review

Once & Future brings together the spirt of Indy melded with the moxie of Ash, but so far none of the gross. Playful, with a side or timely, it is plenty entertaining. Also, gun wielding Granny is all kinds of awesome. Read Full Review

Issue #2 of Once & Future continues fast on the dazzling heels of the first. Writing and art play on each other beautifully, giving the reader a complete package of storytelling. Read Full Review

Once & Future #2 is a solid issue, but heavier in psychodynamics would give that WOW factor that it needs. Nonetheless, I am eager for to see whats next! Read Full Review

It is no secret that I love Dan Mora's art, and it continues to shine. And even if I am not fully engaged in the story it is still worth picking up Once & Future just to see Mora do his thing. Pairing with Tamra Bonvillain on colors is the icing on the cake. Read Full Review

A delightfully entertaining ride packed full of tough Grans, healing scabbards and haunting specters of the past. A joy. Read Full Review

Feels great when the grandson does believes his grandma about fairytales instead of saying she is senile as it is widely the case in other stories. Also, ONCE & FUTURE feels like watching a movie.

Really fun issue with great art. The detail of the Anglo-Saxons dudes was. Didn't expect that :D The art really shines in this issue.

THE GOOD: -This is one of the best series on shelves right now. Read if you haven't yet. It's worth your time and money. -This is just such a good deal for $3.99. -Dan Mora is one of the best current artists. His art is just so clean and full of life. Read this and Klaus if you need any proof. -I love these characters. Gran is just awesome in every way. Duncan is likable, and Kieron nailed his klutziness without making it completely silly. -The Ladies of the Lake were pretty cool. -I love the interior design of the castle. It's simple, yet perfect for the atmosphere Kieron is going for. Dan Mora just works so well with him. To be fair, Kieron seems to work well with so many artists, whether it be Mckelvie, Hans or Mora. -I love the design of Arthur. I love how his flesh is slowly growing back, bit by bit. -Damn, that one kill was really brutal. Guess it sucks to be an Anglo-Saxon. -"Why not dear, it can't make it any worse." What a perfect note to end on. I can't wait until the next issue comes out. THE BAD: -Arthur's design was great, but he's a pretty cliche villain, unfortunately. more
