Son of Merlin #3 (2013) continues the fast-paced blend of modern action and Arthurian legend in this magical miniseries from Top Cow Productions, written by Robert Place Napton with dynamic art by Zhang Xiaoyu. As the mystery surrounding Simon Ambrose—a brilliant, sceptical scientist who has just discovered he's the son of Merlin—deepens, the battle between ancient magic and modern power intensifies.

In this third issue, Simon finds himself pushed further out of his comfort zone. Trained in logic and reason, he's now forced to embrace arcane forces he doesn’t yet understand, all while navigating dangerous alliances and enemies. Alongside the powerful and fiercely capable Gwen, he continues his quest to stop the evil sorceress Morgana Le Fay from seizing the legendary Philosopher’s Stone—a source of unimaginable magical energy.

Napton’s writing strikes a compelling balance between exposition and forward momentum, ensuring readers stay grounded in Arthurian lore without being bogged down by it. This issue sees Simon grow both as a character and a reluctant hero, accepting his lineage and leaning into the mystical inheritance he once denied. The tension between science and sorcery is sharply handled, adding depth to what could otherwise be a straightforward magical adventure.

Zhang Xiaoyu’s artwork continues to impress, with crisp linework and dramatic compositions that make both the spellcasting and close-quarters combat visually engaging. The character designs remain expressive and dynamic, and the blend of ancient settings with contemporary backdrops is executed with a fluid sense of scale and style. The action sequences are especially well-rendered, combining kinetic movement with supernatural flare.

This issue sets the stage for an explosive climax, raising the stakes while allowing room for character growth and deeper lore. Fans of modern fantasy and reimagined mythology will find plenty to enjoy here, especially if they appreciate a grounded protagonist thrust into a world of magic and peril.
