5	OnceUponATime, in a tiny little kingdom surrounded on all sides by larger neighbors, ruled a benevolent prince named Evan. The little kingdom flourished and the subjects loved their prince as much as the prince loved them. However, his castle has caught the attention of Francis, The Great Emperor, who wants to claim it as his own. Francis sends his greatest warrior, The Black Knight, (who is also his little brother, Marcus), to use his fearsome and deadly skills to kill "the King" and take over his little kingdom. And so, Marcus, along with his talking horse, Brandon, rides to the little kingdom to carry out the dirty deed. But, when Marcus arrives at the castle, he is surprised to learn that there is no king, only a humble little prince who immediately falls in love with him. Thus begins a romantic comedy story about a prince and a knight who find themselves in a mind match of chess where one will "checkmate" the other.

9	The comic does not update frequently, about once or twice a month but it is worth a read especially if you love the visual design of a children's storybook.
