Okay, so here we are in a new land full of gold. We have pirates who want to seize all that gold, and we have clergymen who want to convert all of the locals to belief in their "one true God" (even if they have to resort to torture), and we have the many true gods of this world looking down on it all . . . but most of all, we have Groo, the man with the capacity to make any bad situation worse. Watch as he makes this bad situation worse in the third part of our tale by the award-winning duo of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier, aided and abetted by Stan Sakai and Tom Luth.
Groo switches allegiances, foes continue to squabble, and the gods watch the follies of man. Oh, and mistakes are made. Again, again, and again. Fun reading with some nice commentary on faith. All ages accessible. Read Full Review
With one more issue to go I'm hoping that we're closer to being done with the gods in general for a while. This series and the previous series had its fun to be sure but the gods element and the overly extended storylines just don't work that well one after the other. The more self-contained stories are what I enjoy more at this point with the character. There's good stuff here and just enjoying what Aragones brings to the page regardless of story makes it worthwhile as there's just something magical about what he produces and this miniseries is no exception.

The artwork is still classic Aragonés, perhaps with a brighter and more modern color scheme. Even though his cartoon style may seem simple compared to the depth and shading of contemporary super hero books, his attention to detail is right up there with the best of them. Read Full Review
