Review/plot:
In Mys-Tech Wars #1, we saw Mys-Tech Wars launch demons as a contingency plan against the X-Men and the Avengers. In this issue we see them suddenly concerned about the Knights of Pendragon too.

But in truth the Pendragons just have to deal with smaller demons like we saw Excalibur and other heroes dealing with in the core Mys-Tech Wars series.

I guess this guy is a more customized threat.

But the dying Green Knight sends the last of his power to Adam Crown, who is able to vanquish the demon.

Maybe it's the Shrakoom, but that panel feels very Walt Simonson to me.

Having dealt with that demon, the Pendragons take the battle to Mys-Tech.

This issue feels really generic, and like the book is just killing time waiting for the crossover to finish.

Quality Rating: C-

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: The arrival of the Knights of Pendragon at Mys-Tech headquarters is shown during Mys-Tech Wars #3, but everything before that takes place after Albion sees that the Green Knight is dying in Mys-Tech Wars #1, so this fits best between Mys-Tech Wars #1-3.
