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.

I am pleased this exists. Also man the second trade of thor the mighty avenger came out yesterday and I can't have it until the weekend! Stupid regional inquest.

Yeah, just knowing about this makes me hate Marvel slightly less for all the stupid stuff they continue to do. But stay strong--the trade will soon be yours!
