Once & Future Does Coronavirus and Boris Johnson At The Same Time
Last week saw the long-awaited return of Once & Future, the Boom comic book series written by Kieron Gillen and somehow still drawn by Dan Mora, even though he's drawing Detective Comics and Power Rangers. When last we left them in April, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of Great Britain had been beheaded by the revived King Arthur, just as he had announced the very existence of magic to the British population. But since then, Once & Future has caught up with the world in more ways than one. But mostly one.
Indeed, when are things going to get back to normal?
Although because this is now the world of fantasy, and there are cycles involved, and Boris Johnson is seen as the knight Sir Bors in the tales of Camelot, there is always the possibility of a return…
Could Boris be set to play the role of Kenny in South Park?
