Once & Future, Vol. 3: The Parliament of Magpies

Continuing from last time . . .

With some monsters vanquished, Duncan, Gran, and Rose think on the two leads they have to Merlin and follow one of them. They are not prepared for what's coming . . . all sorts of entities, from our world and the other, are about to get involved while Merlin sets his focus on the grail and turning the world into an Arthurian horror story. Who will prevail?

I am really enjoying (though also distrubed by) this twisted take on Arthur. One review called it "eerie" and "brainy"—a good description. It is gory and dark to be sure, but an intriguing story with good dialogue and fascinating characters. You'll enjoy it more if you know the 'classic' Arthurian tales.

Rating: A-
