Scott's Take: Once and Future Volume 4: Monarchies in The U.K. by Kieron Gillen


Once and Future Volume 4: Monarchies in The U.K. by Kieron Gillen picks up some time after Volume 3 where the prime minster chose to reveal that Otherworld was real thus dragging Britain into a world of fantasy and cutting it off from the rest of the world. Myths, monsters, and stories have over taken the land while normal humans are being slaughtered. King Arthur continues his bloody conquest until another King Arthur from a different story rises up to declare war against him. It is Merlin vs Merlin. It's King Arthur vs King Arthur for Britain. Both sides are waging a bloody war to control Britain and both are equally evil. Duncan and the rest of the trio are trying to find a way to minimize the damage that the prime minister has caused and hopefully turn things around.

 

This action-packed adventure features the same incredible art that has been present in the series all along with even more character development. The twist at the end makes me very excited as a new character is introduced. One that could drastically change the series and who happens to be a favorite character of mine. This series is continued in Once and Future Volume 5 which currently does not have a title or a release date yet.

 

 

My reading copy came by way of the HOOPLA app via the Dallas Public Library System.
