Epic and gory, a modern monster-hunting take on Arthurian legend. Duncan comes from a long line of secret monster hunters whose job it is to keep the world of stories from bleeding over into the world we know. He doesn't even find out about this world until well into his adult life as his grandmother attempt to retire from her adventuring days, because just knowing about the story world makes it easier for it to sink its claws into you. And then before you know it, you've taken on the role of a character out of legend and must face up against the obstacles they faced.
Duncan's own mother has gone rogue, attempting to bring the ancient King Arthur into the maintain world in order to upset the current world order. Arthur believes in Britain for the Britons and by that, he means no Anglo-Saxons allowed, only the previous Celtic people whom they had conquered. There is definite commentary here regarding modern nativist movements, including a prime minister who looks suspiciously like Boris Johnson.
Any interesting story but I don't know that I'm invested enough to follow up with further issues or volumes.
