review 1: I don't usually read graphic novels but I liked this one because the ending was a lot better then what I predict it was going to be. I predicted that a Arthur was going to die and it would show who was going to be the next king. Instead, Arthur went back to the other realm and continued to live on. But the only question I have is: If Merlin was good, then why did the darken his face through out most of the book?
review 2: I wasn't enthused by this. I'm by no means a huge fan of Arthurian legend, so it's not like it bothers me when a new work deviates from the standard. It only bothers me when the changes lead to moments that don't ring true. For some reason, Lee felt like he had to make the whole Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot love triangle even more complicated. Se... moree, Arthur was really in love with Vivianne, the Lady of the Lake, all along. He just had Merlin erase his memories of loving her because as king, he would have to get married. And marrying for love was totally something that royalty was worried about back then. So when he does remember, he's really not all that upset about Guinevere cheating on him with Lancelot, because fair's fair, right? Yeah, no. The art didn't wow me either, and on several pages looked more like a rough draft than a finished product. less
