With the debut out of the way, Black Knight's second issue sidelines a lot of the action for colorful Marvel history lessons but never forgets the fantastic emotional mental character work being done on Dane Whitman. Stunning and energetic visuals showcase the art team's ability to shift between action and expository quieter moments at the drop of a hat. Read Full Review
Two really entertaining, solid, dynamic issues in a row. Go ahead, it's time - add this title to your pull list at your local comic shop. You don't want to miss out on this series! Read Full Review
Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #2 does a solid job following up a strong first issue. The Dane Whitman in issue #2 is a little less interesting but the story fills in tons of legend, lore, and backstory to keep readers engaged. Read Full Review
Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #2 is a solid second issue filling in some of the questions raised and laying the foundation and support for Whitman to take on his quest and stop Mordred from collecting all of the Ebony artifacts for himself. Read Full Review
This issue failed to explore Dane Whitman's psyche that was set up so perfectly in the first issue. However the ideas of the series are still there and still strong. Read Full Review
There is no sugar coating things. Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #2 has a lot to process in terms of the mythology and that lends itself to a lot of exposition and panel after panel of words. However, the way Spurrier uses that mythology to weave in other aspects of the story, bringing together parallel storylines and build a larger mystery, it makes the density worth it. Read Full Review

Better than issue one. Love a good Dracula shout and the cast of characters is an interesting one.
I'm still enjoying this.
This was another good issue. It even managed not to bore me with its exposition. And also, Elsa Bloodstone is always a plus.
Kind of boring.
A bit more messy than the first one due to a lot of background story being given to the reader, which is fine and needed. Still very fun and well-written, can't wait for more.
I don't know whether this not-so-fresh take on Arthurian mythology is objectively a little dull or subjectively super-dull -- either way, I was not loving this read. It doesn't help that the otherwise-promising characters are all forced to speak in one undifferentiated, super-snarky voice. That's an affliction I like to call "Matthew-Rosenberg-itis," and I hope the cast gets over it soon.
There are some good ideas here but they all pale in the face of all the cringey dialogue from Spurrier, I want to like this book but to me it seems too much like a parody.
