This book is truly like no other X-book. Last issue the team, with the help of the magic of the "Lady of the Lake", has gone back to the actual Camelot, to save them from a disaster that's not supposed to happen. It appears they are in real danger of being wiped out by dragons. What I think the real reason behind this story arc is, is to get the Black Knight, Dane Whitman, to join their little entourage. Lots of little plots are going on too. Of course we learn a whole lot about Dane's lineage, or more importantly the lineage of the Black Knights. And specifically about Percy, whom Dane has seen many times in the future in ghostly form. There also seems to be something going on between Cain and TJ. It may not be romantic, but there's some kind of friendship brewing. Also it seems that Pete has a thing for Sage. But I can't imagine that she'd let that happen. Pete also, in this time, is responsible for Lancelot and Guinevere hooking up. He got drunk, suprise, and bothered and came on to her so much, that she went to Lancelot for solace. So Sage lays that little piece of wisdom on him to try to make him feel guilty. Captain Britain kind of plays a back seat role in this issue. Even in the triumph over the dragons, it was Sage who realized that they were Makluans, like Fing Fang Foom, and all they needed was some Formosan herb to put them to sleep. With that done, they head back to their own time. Like I said I think this one was all about the Black Knight. We'll have to wait for future issues though to see what exactly his role is going to be. Overall though, very nice issue. Good story, and good art.
