Comics Bookcase - Jarred A. Lujn
Sep 17, 2019Once and Future #2 is as good as the first issue that came before it. The hype is very real on this book and very, very justified. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - CJ
Sep 18, 2019Once and Future #2 builds on the momentum of the first issue by continuing to highlight its brilliant premise and the talent of its creative team. It also reinvents the legend of King Arthur as a dark fantasy. Given where this issue leads off, I expect issue three to be action-packed while delivering more acerbic dialogue and twists on familiar myths. Read Full Review

The Brazen Bull - Dave Robbins
Sep 18, 2019Once & Future brings together the spirt of Indy melded with the moxie of Ash, but so far none of the gross. Playful, with a side or timely, it is plenty entertaining. Also, gun wielding Granny is all kinds of awesome. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Sep 17, 2019It is no secret that I love Dan Mora's art, and it continues to shine. And even if I am not fully engaged in the story it is still worth picking up Once & Future just to see Mora do his thing. Pairing with Tamra Bonvillain on colors is the icing on the cake. Read Full Review

Feels great when the grandson does believes his grandma about fairytales instead of saying she is senile as it is widely the case in other stories. Also, ONCE & FUTURE feels like watching a movie.

Really fun issue with great art. The detail of the Anglo-Saxons dudes was. Didn't expect that :D The art really shines in this issue.

THE GOOD: -This is one of the best series on shelves right now. Read if you haven't yet. It's worth your time and money. -This is just such a good deal for $3.99. -Dan Mora is one of the best current artists. His art is just so clean and full of life. Read this and Klaus if you need any proof. -I love these characters. Gran is just awesome in every way. Duncan is likable, and Kieron nailed his klutziness without making it completely silly. -The Ladies of the Lake were pretty cool. -I love the interior design of the castle. It's simple, yet perfect for the atmosphere Kieron is going for. Dan Mora just works so well with him. To be fair, Kieron seems to work well with so many artists, whether it be Mckelvie, Hans or Mora. more
