    My hat's off to the creative team for taking a little-known character (outside of the Gears fanbase) and creating interest with new readers. While the gun-ho, take no prisoners attitude is well-worn within the comic's genre, it fits here. Read Full Review

    This story is a strange creature " it is released many, many years after the first Gears of War, and brings us back to character who only made a proper appearance as a story-driven figure in one game. Now I am not saying RAAM is not a villain to behold in the series, but it all just seems a bit odd that after no mention of the character in years, we now see a resurgence of him here, as the series lays out the backstory that we never knew about the character.
