As Groo wanders through twelve issues, he encounters his old friend/foe, the mercenary commander Taranto, who's plotting to claim the vast riches that shall come to the father of the lost girl, Kayli. The intrigue unfolds in this story by the award-winning team of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier, with lettering by Stan Sakai and coloring by Tom Luth!
You can't call yourself a fan of comics unless you've read Groo. Don't have me call him over to you. Groo! They haven't read your book! Yeah, them! No — Not me! I always read your book! Stop, please! This isn't a fray! Groo, stop! Highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review
Though Taranto has some good stories from the days of yore, he's not the most compelling of opponents. That said, seeing him trying to work Groo the way he does here is certainly nicely played and he pretty much gets away with it. It's good to see his undoing, which is also tying into the start of wrapping up Kayli's storyline itself as well as we know exactly where it's going to go and result in. But the Groo stories are almost always fun, light and silly in a great way that makes me smile. Aragones continues to push through some really great artwork with so many expressions, detailed characters and crowd scenes that just drives me nuts with how much there is to look at. The series is worth it for that alone, though of course Evanier provides some really great dialogue that simply clicks with this work like no other. Read Full Review
I give this a solid 8. I recommend it, but it's not blowing the doors off with anything new. It's like a nice pair of slippers—warm and comforting. Read Full Review
