Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze Dec 18, 2019

For a series like this which takes a bold step towards the dark side of fantasy, Once & Future #5 is compelling for how it struck a beautiful balance between creating the makings of a proper hero and a memorable moment shared between family. There was a lot of tension created from Gran's secrets coming to light, but this was the perfect time to truly put their bond to the test when it mattered most. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth Dec 18, 2019

Once And Future #5 keeps up the blistering pace of the series while also answering a lot of burning questions that the end of the last issue raised. Gillen is writing about the power of stories in this book. But this issue also shows that the real power in stories comes from those who are in them. Dan Mora and Tamra Bonvillain are the perfect art team for this book, gelling together to create some fantastic art. With only one more issue remaining, Once And Future remains a triumph.

On Comics Ground - Elizabeth Fazzio Dec 18, 2019

If you've been following along at home, you know that I adore this book. There were a few issues again this month with dialogue that just didn't flow somehow, making it difficult to continue reading without stopping to parse out just exactly what was attempting to be conveyed, which was disappointing. This has been a difficulty off and on since issue #1, so while it's not exactly unexpected at this point, it's still kind of a bummer, because otherwise Once & Future would be nigh on perfect.
