Knights of X #3 Spoilers
Spoilers: Roma and Saturnyne meet to teach Shogo a lesson, showing him a vision of the Knights of X battling through the scrying pool. Roma and Saturnyne warn Shogo that he needs to watch one of his friends die as a knight must know sacrifice.
Back to the Crooked Market, Gambit’s team works together to subdue the Furies. Gambit and Rachel end up arguing as he wants to rescue Mad Jim Jaspers while Rachel wants to follow Betsy. The argument is interrupted when the Furies bring Mad Jim for his public execution.
Meanwhile, Betsy’s team makes their way to Sevalith, taking down a number of vampires with Arthur’s army following their trail. Betsy’s team reaches Death, who’s being kept imprisoned by the vampire Countexes. While Death rejects their offer to be rescued, he helps Rictor understand Apocalypse’s annotations in the Grimoire.
Death tells the tale: When Krakoa was founded, Apocalypse sought Absolon Mercator and took him to a desert land. Apocalypse revealed he had retrieved the Siege Perilous and asked Mister M to keep the Siege Perilous with him and turn the desert land into a kingdom of his own. Apocalypse requested Mister M to keep his kingdom closed off until a great sacrifice was made, at which point he should open his kingdom to mutantkind.
Betsy’s team spends the night in the sewers of Sevalith, and Rictor deduces he must be the one to be sacrificed. As the psychic rapport between Rachel and Betsy is restored, Betsy decides to put the quest on hold and has Shatterstar teleport them to the Crooked Market. The Knights of X reunite and fight the Furies together. The townsfolk suddenly turn against Mordred, and Rachel deduces hist mutant power must be making people want to fight him. Gambit and Meggan team up to rescue Mad Jim Jaspers when Merlyn suddenly appears before them. Gambit uses a magic card he had stolen from the Starlight Citadel against Merlyn and claims he once was Death. Gambit’s trick backfires (or is he in the know?) as he dies holding the “death” tarot card. Roma and Saturnyne have Shogo watch Remy’s death as it is “necessary”.
A page of Apocalypse’s Grimoire has Apocalypse musing about how the Horseman of Death is the hardest role to fill. Death must not be a bad man because Death is selfless as he must be ready to die himself.

Knights of X #2 Spoilers
Spoilers: Merlyn gathers the regents of all provinces in the Lunatic Citadel and scolds them for not eradicating the mutants left. Merlyn takes out his rage on Mister M from Mercator and Mad Jim Jaspers from the Crooked Market, as they’re both mutants. While Mister M is absent, Jaspers is taken prisoner with the aid of blightswill, a power-dampening liquor.
Meanwhile in Lavender’s Keep, Betsy contacts the Quiet Council telepathically with the aid of a mutant circuit and updates Xavier on Otherworld, Mordred and Shogo, to Jubilee’s relief. While Kylun and Mordred spar with each other, Betsy and Rachel overhear Jaspers’ cry for help in their minds.
The team splits up, and Gambit takes Meggan, Bei, Kylun and Rachel to the Crooked Market. While Gambit smuggles food to mutants in hiding, Rachel realizes the people of the Crooked Market are terrified of blightswill and warns Betsy, who has remained in Roma’s Floating Kingdom.
Betsy leaves Shogo under Roma’s care as he is just an innocent baby. Captain Britain then takes Rictor, Shatterstar and Mordred to Blightspoke to investigate the source of the blightswill liquor and the whereabouts of Sheriff Whitechapel. The Knights of X find Blightspoke overrun by Vescoras and the Sheriff and her posse imprisoned. While Rictor, Shatterstar and Mordred fight off the Vescora army, Betsy attempts to rescue Sheriff Whitechapel; however, the Sheriff instead fakes her death to fool the Vescora. Betsy contacts Rachel and warns that her team will head off to Sevalith to look for Death.
Elsewhere, Merlyn dispatches Furies to eliminate Gambit’s team. One of the Furies detects Rachel as an anomaly, someone without alternate counterparts. Gambit’s team works together and combines their powers strategically to take down the Furies in order to free Jaspers.
In the meantime, Betsy, Rictor, Shatterstar and Mordred make it to Sevalith and are watched by the vampire Countexes.

“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.
