Each Knight of X is also faced with their innermost fears/desires. A data page follows with a letter from King Arthur addressing Merlyn ending their alliance and writing about how he loves his son (Don’t worry, it makes no sense). Absolon welcomes him and explains that Mercator is the Siege Perilous itself turned into realm and that the Siege forces one to face oneself. King Arthur also crosses the portal to Mercator and ends up in the new realm sinking in black mud. Betsy decides to go alone, but her Knights follow her. Mad Jim Jaspers is freed and incapacitates the Furies. Spoilers: King Arthur and his minions pursue the Knights, while they argue about Gambit’s death and the meaning of his sacrifice. You can’t build it like a ten-issue at that point.
When you get an extension, you have another five issues, but you’re going to build another five-issue unit. We want more soap opera, more romance, more B-plot kind of structures but you can’t do that in just five issues. A lot of the things that fans complain about are the direct result of not being able to get an extended series. I’d rather let somebody tell a really satisfying story in five issues than to get them excited to build up and try to put in a B-plot that we’re not going to be able to pay off. My gut instinct is usually when I know it might end at #5 is just to and say we should just plan that it’s probably going to end in #5. I think both readers and retailers are impatient. Brunstad: It’s a big challenge because from the get go you want to go in and fight for more and the sad truth is that the fate of a lot of books is decided by the time issue #2 comes out if the sales have already dipped.
