- Title: Once and Future #29

The penultimate issue of Once and Future offers a pair of great moments heading into the series’ conclusion, and that doesn’t include Rose surviving the blow from the Green Knight. The first is the tease of what is to come that offers just enough foreshadowing to provide a “holy shit!” kind of realization about the moment which will follow.
By the end of the issue Zombie Arthur will be dead and the sword will be pulled from the stone by a new king. That, however, doesn’t finish our tale as Duncan and Bridgette still have work to do in order to restore the real world. However, despite the fall of his king, Merlin has other plans on how this story shall end (and the apparent help of the series’ most indecisive character who changes sides one more time). If this is the first-half of our finale, I can wait to see how it ends.
