Black Knight Vol. 3

This is Volume 3 of the series, corresponding to issue #3 (released January 2016) of the Black Knight solo series Marvel launched in 2015, written by Frank Tieri and drawn by Luca Pizzari and Kev Walker. The story continues the threads of the first two volumes: drawn by the curse of the Ebony Blade, Dane Whitman leaves Earth and enters the strange fantasy realm of Weirdworld, where he is hailed as the ruler of New Avalon but, under the blade's influence, goes further and further astray. In this volume his former comrades-in-arms, the Uncanny Avengers squad — including Steve Rogers, Rogue, Deadpool, Human Torch, Quicksilver, Doctor Voodoo, and Synapse — finally track him down, and the two sides confront each other over Dane's actions. The Avengers list his crimes and intend to take him back to Earth, while the allies Dane has made in Weirdworld are unwilling to hand over their king. This volume pushes the Black Knight onto the dividing line between hero and fallen man: is he a victim of the Ebony Blade, or someone who willingly gave himself over to power? The answer is left for later. It should be noted that the specific plot, format, and Chinese publication details of this volume cannot be fully verified at present; the above is based on publicly available publication information for the original comics.
