Merlin Watches the Storm

[arbre_rieur]

Issue 4 of DEMON KNIGHTS gives us the origin of the Shining Knight...

Ystina the Shining Knight is having a vision of Merlin, in which he explains some things to her.



Long ago, Ystina was a squire at the fall of Camelot. Merlin found her dead/dying corpse and fed her from the Grail, granting her immortality and an eternal longing for the Grail. But having no memory of the encounte, she couldn't identify what her hunger was for.





Merlin tells her that she alone has a chance of recovering the Grail, some day in the distant future.









Reading this, I'm now even more disappointed that Cornell's leaving STORMWATCH, as it looks like it and DEMON KNIGHTS were meant to be two halves of a connected whole.

It's cool--after Sentry: Lost Sun, I'd be apprehensive about picking up his shit ever again too.
