"THE GRAND OLD ARMY": The epic journeys persist, courtesy of VITA AYALA (Shuri, Livewire, The Wilds) and OLYMPIA SWEETMAN! Xena and Gabrielle find themselves amidst a deadly quarrel between The God Of Strife and The God Of Discord! The only way to save a village of innocents is for Xena to agree to lead an army against an incoming Roman legion. But Xena's "army" is comprised of...the village elders!?
Overall, I came to this new series out of a love for Xena and I'm staying because of a creative team that feeds that nostalgia while also offering up an interesting and unique world of their own. Read Full Review
This issue ends in a great place with some interesting set up for things that may lay ahead for the God of Discord. Read Full Review
The opening issue of Xena was a pretty good time and this one carries it through for the most part but doesn't quite connect for me in the same way. Ayala keeps the story moving forward well and I like the greater inclusion of the gods here early on to establish their involvement in general, though hopefully they're not in every story as strong. Sweetman's artwork is solid throughout and I really liked the way thea action in the mountains plays out and especially the sequence with the gods toward the end. It's a solid enough book but it hasn't fully clicked for me just yet. Read Full Review

While the concept is clear and offers plenty of potential, the execution of this issue fails to deliver. Read Full Review
