Then my work here is done!

If that prospect gets you excited, I should probably mention the time Iron Man and Doctor Doom were fighting and ended up also time-traveling back to Camelot. Or introduce you to the recently wrapped-up Madame Xanadu series from (the also recently wrapped-up DC imprint) Vertigo, since her backstory involves Arthuriana as well...

Okay, I really know nothing about this one other than what I said: Iron Man and Doctor Doom fight each other while time-traveling to Camelot. But these other people really seem to like it.

Madame Xanadu, on the other hand--this I've actually read, and I love it. Only the first two issues are set in Arthurian times, but the story then progresses through the DC/Vertigo universe, drawing ever closer to modern times... And frankly, I think the story and artwork are pretty amazing. Also, it's a pretty sweet deal--this trade collects 10 whole issues of the comic at a price less than what most other TPBs go for, and they usually only have 6 issues. I own all the issues separately, but after digging up this link I might still buy the trade anyway to have them all collected--that's how much I like it.

Three are out at present, with a fourth on the way! I'm not wild about the second or fourth collections--the first and third are tops on my list.
