After a mysterious pressure brings Liz, Merlin, and Liz’s finest buddy Calvin to the world of Camelot, Liz discovers that it’s truly a nightmarish hellscape overrun with terrifying beasts that serve a world-consuming primordial evil. This evil is an extra-dimensional being referred to as The All-Dark, and he has possessed and corrupted King Arthur and Camelot past salvation. This is simply the tip of the iceberg of the numerous lies Merlin has advised Liz within the hopes of preserving the reality of what she is from her…
Excalibur’s soul reincarnated as a young person is already a incredible hook.
