Where have the eagles landed?
Antonius Axia has survived the wilds of Britain and witnessed the horrors of his own homeland... and now, the trail of Emperor Nero's stolen eagles relics has led him and gladiatrix Achillia to the newly annexed province of Egypt! But, those who once held power in the Fertile Crescent might not be so quick to welcome them... or any other nosy Romans, for that matter!
Renowned writer Peter Milligan (Detective Comics) and fan-favorite artist Robert Gill (X-O MANOWAR) follow the LOST EAGLES OF ROME into dangerous territory - and unleash a terrible new threat on the ancient world!
I am going to make it a point to read this every time it is released. The detective trope works great in Roman times. Milligan has a clear vision of where he wants the story to go and Robert Gill delivers with a series of breathtaking panels. Only a few times in this issue did I see any lettering that was worth mentioning, David Sharpe does what good letterers do. He made the dialogue flow, without interrupting the art, and did a great job with balloon placement. That's how a letterer helps make the story work and ups the ‘love' factor for fans.

This is a somewhat wordy book, both because there is a fair amount to explain about the setting and because this is a mystery and we like to see how the detective " or detectioner " puts clues together. Read Full Review
Britannia: Lost Eagles Of Rome #3has this miniseries on pace to be the best yet of the three in Peter Milligan's story – and was the first in which I wasn't waiting for the cameo of another Valiant character. Ultimately, if you're already reading this series then you're going to be happy with this issue. If you're not partaking inBritannia, why not? Read Full Review
As a mystery there is still plenty to pick apart and enjoy, but there's little else to be savored beyond the historical presentation by this chapter. Read Full Review
