Just curious, but does anyone think Frank Teiri kind of got ripped off? His Rebecca Stevens character in his Black Knight New Excalibur and Weirdworld stories is almost the same as Jacks and he told of all the Black Knights through history that turned evil due to the curse.
Hoping that Dane remains the Black Knight at the end of issue #5 but beginning to think otherwise.
Preview for issue 5 is up! https://comicbookdispatch.com/black-...ade-5-preview/
Glad they are leaning into the mental health/depression angle - it's something that has really resonated with me since the King in Black oneshot

I was really pleased with how the issue played out! Won't say more for fear of spoilers before you've all had a chance to read it, but I'm excited by the possibilities.

All I can say about the final issue is well played Mr. Spurrier.
I am so excited to read the final issue--but I'll have to wait a couple more weeks. My local comic shop was short-shipped on their order, so they have to wait for the re-order to come in for me to get my copy. Grrr.
Big Captain Britain vibes with that last scene!
A very interesting premise. In one sense, it follows a trend of other Marvel heroes. In Guardians of the Galaxy, we have two Quasars who switch off in the same way. Still, I like the idea. I really thought Spurrier was going to kill off Dane and pass the torch. This is a nice middle ground. Wonder where it will go from here though.

Yes, I like the idea that he doesn't need to face the struggle with the Ebony Blade alone any more. It was a nice resolution for the mental health issues they've been exploring.
Also, I realised that the point about 'no-one knows who is under the helmet' thing may not just mean that people don't know if it's Dane or JAcks, but also that it might mean they don't know who it is at all, as the wider populace think Dane is dead after the events of issue 1
