As a long time BK fan, I was looking forward to see what new direction Si Spurrier was going to take Dane. I do not want to discuss specifically what happened at this time as the issue just came out a few days ago but I must admit it is interesting. The art was awesome although I always wondered why Dane's armor is colored mostly blue not black. I am looking forward to Spurrier's Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade limited series. I hope those on the fence will give it a try and pre-order it.
I wonder if we'll ever hear again about the teen Black Knight introduced some years back, and what connection she has, if any, to Whitman.
Its a 5 issue mini. But who knows--if it does well enough, maybe they'll extend it to an ongoing, or do a 2nd mini.
Thanks.
I didn't bring up the Ultraverse period since it wasn't really a change in terms of Dane's portrayal, in terms of his personality, sanity or weaponry. He was in an entirely different universe, but his portrayal was basically a continuation of what it had been in the Harras AVENGERS run.
As far as I know all the Ultraverse stuff is still in-continuity...it just doesn't get referenced anymore.
This is the link to the article that she was mentioned: https://www.marvel.com/articles/comi...e-black-knight
Although it does not specifically mention that she will be in the series, there might be a chance.

Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
Just wondering if anyone liked issue #1. I thought it was a good start to the mini-series.
Thought it was interesting. I said before how I wasn't going to pick up, but well, I still want to see Black Knight slash things with his sword. There was plenty of that, which was cool.
I'm still trying to get a handle on Dane, what is his character and personality. I'm getting vibes of self doubt and darkness of some kind. I wouldn't go as far to say that he's Moon Knight crazy.
Good twist at the end. Shows this deep relationship between the Ebony Blade and Dane. And how does Jacks relate to that?
I'm game for issue #2.
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
I just read #1. Liked it, but hated the way the Avengers thought of him. That's new.
Ditto. It makes the other heroes (particularly Thor, who was extra salty) look like asses.
And it's been the trend for a decade or so to make formerly competent respected heroes 'the Homer' who is regarded as a hard-luck hero at best, and a screw-up at worst, by their peers. Scott Lang's gotten a ride on this down-and-out train, then Clint Barton, now it's Dane Whitman's turn on the bumble-tron, it seems.
