Once & Future #5

"ONCE & FUTURE #5, out this Wednesday from Boom! Studios continues Duncan’s epic (but involuntary) quest to stop a legend from becoming truth. He may not have realized this was the life he was groomed for, but that won’t stop him from stepping up.

Once & Future has been a delightfully warped tale of the legend of King Arthur. The series has added a much needed horror element to the lore of this once mighty king, making the idea of his resurrection a terrifying thought.

That is a problem for Duncan, however. And we do not envy the position he’s been placed in. This is a man who was groomed to play a part in legend – a backup plan, so to speak. Up until this week, he never knew that fact. You’d think that’d make him bitter. And perhaps if they survive all of this he’ll have time to feel all of that."
