- Title: Once and Future #28

The end of the year arrives in Once and Future #28. As agreed, Mary resumes the role of Nimue and helps Duncan, Bridgette, and Rose in choosing to bestow Excalibur on the Zombie Arthur (the Arthur that they know best and believe they can most easily manipulate) so that he might thin the herd of the various Arthurs looking to pull the sword from the stone and claim the world as their own. It seems Nimue has come to peace with saving the world over immediate vengeance for her son.
The release of Lear also goes to plan, more or less, so you might say things are finally looking up for our heroes. Well… until the return of the Green Knight who has a promised blow to return. The issue ends quite brutally for one of our trio (although is there perhaps some trick at play?) as events continue to build to issue #30.
