THE FALL OF THE KNIGHTS OF X!
Gambit and his team gain a momentary victory over the Furies in Crooked Market, but as the group is hit by another wave of attacks by Merlyn's army, Rachel Summer's connection with Captain Britain is severed before she can call in reinforcements. In Sevalith, the Captain and her team face off against blood thirsty vampires as they seek out a lethal potential ally.
Their quest required ten knights to begin, but no one said anything about the end. A knight dies here - and the hateful quest goes on.

Even with dozens of things happening all at once, Knights of X #3 still manages to give its characters depth and care. Read Full Review
Blending swords/sorcery and the world of mutants continues to be a winning formula for ‘Knights of X', as the stakes of this massive quest continue to become more clear for the audience and knights alike. This is such an entertaining, emotional, colorful, and beautiful series that adds so much to the tapestry that is this era of X-Men. Read Full Review
Its a high fantasy story thats got high risks, but theres something missing from getting me fully invested. How the final act will affect not only these characters, but characters across the franchise could prove to be an interesting development, but at this point Im not sure I care. Hopefully the team can give us a final act that was as thrilling and engaging as the first issue of this mini. Read Full Review
Knights of X #3 continues to move forward at an ever-slowing pace, churning forth just the slightest throughout its featherweight page count. Read Full Review
Let me pick my jaw off the ground first lol. Wow that was absolutely epic! With a last page like that let the speculation commence! Phenomenal in every way.
The art is clean and clear. Though I like my characters blocked a little bigger and more detailed, these visuals work.
On the script side, all of the beef I usually moan about when I read a Tini Howard comic is gone. Digressions are minimal, the prose is focused, the scenes are tight, the pace is good. This is just a dang good comic.
I have my doubts about the permanence of the Big Sad Thing that happens at the end, but it's well-orchestrated to have maximum effect here in this issue.
All of this is happening but it's not as clean or engaging as I know it could be.
