Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #4

This is a fantastic issue. Period. Read Full Review

Black Knight's penultimate issue brings the action while doing far more to continue the series deconstruction and reconstruction of the lore surrounding the history of the knight and Camelot itself. Every page is just full of glorious beautiful emotionally brutal and honest artwork that sells every single moment. This is the type of Black Knight series that many fans have been waiting for.

The Curse of the Ebony Blade has been an interesting series that explores the psyche of Dane Whitman, Jacks, and Mordred. What we have learned in this issue will certainly give us a thrilling conclusion at the end of the miniseries. Read Full Review

The penultimate issue of the series, if there is any justice we’ll see Spurrier and Dávila team up to tackle this character in an ongoing series. A fantastic exploration of Marvels Arthurian legend, putting a brand-new spin on everything, this is an excellent look at the mythology of the Ebony artifacts. The deep themes and concepts explored in this series elevate it beyond the typical superhero fare into something unique and special. Read Full Review

Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #4 is all revelation that we mostly knew, and takes a hard left into "this random character, who's done nothing for the entire run, is actually the most important character" territory. Just when you think you get a talented writer to do something important with a neglected character, it was all a big setup to throw that character away. At least the art is great. Read Full Review

Other than lay the heroes low, foreshadowing their eventual comeback, Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #4 feels very much like the middle issue in a larger arc. It does offer some flashbacks to the history of the Black Knight and some dire premonitions about any future the Black Knight might have even if he gets out of his current predicament.

Well there was a lot of unpack here. Ideas and themes, set-up in past issues were fleshed out, and big, big revelations happened. Now I get why there is "curse" in title of the book. It's a sad tale really, although we still have an issue to go and there are hints, that things are going to turn around for the good guys, I think, I don't see how this "curse" and it's effects are gonna be lifted from Black Knight or his legacy. But yeah, overall without going too much into details, this was pretty crazy issue.

This issue was kind of messy, but overall still worked for me. One of the users in these reviews, Merlyn, was made super offended by this issue. He gestured at a quote from the comic "Oh so very male." This was Dane describing how Merlyn (the character and not the user) whitewashed the history of Camelot to fit the myth and the idea of Camelot that we know today, making it puritanical, chaste, restrictive and "oh so very male". I don't understand why this triggered Merlyn so much. I guess the implication he sees there is that male is bad. But that's not what the implication is. The implication is that women were written out of the myth, which would of course be a bad thing, if Camelot were a real historical place. I think that's very obviou s, but Merlyn's a bit of a baby victim with huge insecurities. He also got real mad that they showed a Nazi version of Black Knight. I don't know if I have to clue him in here, but the Black Knight character has always been about a guy with sword that feeds on his hatred and anger for power. He's been shown as villainous multiple times in the comics, overtaken by the sword. This is a theme in THIS VERY RUN. Of course there's a Nazi Black Knight. It's on one page, get over it. It's not disrespecting the character. You're just hyper sensitive because you probably have some bigoted tendencies in you and are made uncomfortable by the idea that someone could be corrupted by bigotry and hatred so much that they become Nazis, so chill out. more

"oH sO vEry mAlE" lol, Spurries has some issues. And Black Knight was a Nazi, too? Come on, how does Marvel let this go on? Especially now that the character is up for an appearance in MCU, he deserves far better than this crap.

You should really stop reading comics for the sake of your mental health. It can't be good for you to get this offended and upset over the smallest things. You need to chill out and stopped getting triggered.

Btw I don't have a problem with you commenting on my reviews about comics but if you decide insulting me is a good idea, I'll block you again.

Psycamorean - Jul 1, 2021

How was my comment an insult? I genuinely believe someone who gets so angry over nothing has some issues.

Merlyn - Jul 1, 2021

OK, keep pushing it.

Psycamorean - Jul 1, 2021

I don't see mental issues as something to stigmatize.

Merlyn - Jul 1, 2021

OK, block. Told you three times but you don't want to listen.
