The Pendragons
By Barry Reese
What You Should Know: The Pendragons, empowered by the Lady of the Lake, are Great Britain's defenders in a world gone mad. With most of Europe locked behind the Black Mass Barrier, magic had returned in full force, rendering technology untrustworthy at best. The Pendragons have recently finished taking part in a terrible conflict between the forces of Roma and King Brian of Otherworld.
What's Gonna Happen: Issues 29 & 30 are a two-parter entitled "Citizen Doom." When Death's Head II is hired to take out Victor Von Doom, you know that a major battle is looming… but when the new Citizen V intervenes, it quickly spirals out of control. Meanwhile, a member of the Pendragons comes face-to-face with his own mortality and Albion faces the truth about the Black Mass Prophecy.
Down the Road: The truth about the new Lady Mandarin will be explored at length and the team's newest member - the dragon named Rathoon - will learn that he's not quite as alone as he thought. Can you spell Fin Fang Foom? Plus: The Pendragons embark on a cosmic quest that will guest-star the heroes of the Dark Guard!
