3/8

3/8 The direct lead-in is Realms Fall, and the order is worth laying out plainly: the 2014 Grimm Fairy Tales Annual, Realm Knights: Age of Darkness, the 2014 Grimm Fairy Tales Giant-Size, then Grimm Fairy Tales #99. After those four chapters comes #100. The Realm Knights book in that sequence is the Age of Darkness one-shot, not the earlier four-issue miniseries. They have similar names, but they aren't the same story. HiboCorp and the Realm Knights should give the heroes a way to coordinate against threats from the other realms. Instead, the Queen's side has gotten inside that system. The Horde is gaining modern weapons, people can't be sure who to trust, and the team is being attacked before it can reach Lucinda. By #100, Sela's side isn't marching in with everyone rested, informed and ready. They're trying to recover from damage already done while the Queen continues toward the thing they were supposed to prevent.
