*** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***

Bridgette, Duncan and Rose meet ROBIN HOOD! The encounter spawns a surprise proposal that could turn the tides of the fight. Meanwhile, Elaine, Bridgette's daughter, arrives at the Grail Castle. However, she's not the only surprise visitor who stops by as well. Readers also bear witness to some of the wildest action scenes as the trio takes the fight to the war raging in Bristol. If you think that's something, just wait for the final sequences of events in this issue.

Give Gillen all the praise you can. No other book in comics flips characters of lore and present them in such a fresh new energy. Take a look at Robin Hood and his Merry Men for example. They are presented in such a creative way, but that's one of the biggest strengths of this book. This issue has solid moments throughout and where this story twists and turns is an absolute must-read.

While praising Gillen, Mora deserves that praise as well. Giving all these notable characters such unique visuals is something to be excited when you read this book. The action sequences are second to none. Readers are in for some amazing sights throughout this issue. Excellent job all around.

Overall, Once and Future #25 continues it's excellence in storytelling with this issue. There's no other book like it in the shelves. The creative team presents such an impressive world within these pages. Pick this up when you hit the LCS this week. It's THAT good!
