Curse of the Ebony Blade number 5 came out today. Plot summary- Dane nearly dies after a battle with Modred. Meanwhile, the young student, Jackie "Jacks" Chopra, he'd hired took over the Ebony Blade, and to her surprise, she's suddenly the Black Knight. The dying Dane confesses that he had a daughter that he only recently learned about, and guess ( Read more... )

A new mini series- Curse of the Ebony Blade. I enjoyed the first issue, except for the way he's treated by the Avengers. That is totally out of character, especially from Captain America. Despite his issues, he was a valued member of the team and good friends with many members (Hawkeye and Hercules come to mind). Thor in particular is an asshole. I ( Read more... )

Stan Lee has died at the age of 95. I knew he wasn't going to be around much longer after it was announced he'd filmed his last MCU cameo, but it's still sad. For me this ranks up there with losing Jim Henson, Gene Roddenberry, Robin Williams, Leonard Nimoy, and Carrie Fisher ( Read more... )

I read Black Knight #5 today and was very sad when it was over. It ended the way I figured it would, with Steve Rogers being taken over by the Ebony Blade, and having to fight Dane for it.

Got some nice photos, though. I put the gingerbread house from Christmas out for the birds, and it got covered with snow.

The Uncanny Avengers take the Blade, but Dane gets to ( Read more... )

...thanks to Agent Carter. "You arrogant plonker." I love this show. I love the characters, the costumes, the music. This is one of the few occasions that I don't mind that the character is so different on screen than in the comics (Peggy was American in the comics and wasn't anywhere near as badass). I love Peggy and Jarvis being badass together. ( Read more... )

Black Knight is cancelled after #5. At least the story arc will be finished. I hope he pops up in an Avengers title sometime soon. It really sucks. I was enjoying the story.

It looks like Black Knight has already been cancelled by Marvel. They didn't even give it a chance. Marvel can kiss my ass ( Read more... )
