Small package...heavy hitters! ENTER: ARMORINES smashes into a GIANT confrontation that will rock X-O Manowar to his very core!
The bleeding-edge commando unit codenamed: ARMORINES has finally undermined the X-O Manowar armor and the man inside it - Aric of Dacia, one of the most feared men alive. But who are these hardened men and women, and just who orchestrated their lethal combination of technology and cunning? The new generation of ARMORINES are more than just mercenaries...and the figure pulling their strings is about to activate a fail-safe that will leave the world reeling.
Another arc, or maybe mini-arc, of X-O Manowar wraps and you know what theyve all managed to do? Theyve managed to not only continue to add to Aric, the VU and the great stories being told so far, but theyve managed to make this book even more must-read. Just when you think they cant stop themselves or make this book any better than it has been, they do it. Theres no better time to start reading Valiant than right now. Pick these issues up, or the next ones, or all the ones before it, as long as youre picking this up it really doesnt matter where you start. Read Full Review
X-O Manowar #32 is an electrifying conclusion to the story arc with the build up of the battle between Aric and Zahn being worth the wait. I've been looking forward to seeing Aric utilize his suit in a battle like this since the Armor Hunters event, and from the moment he takes the offensive to the end of the battle, I was on the edge of my seat. The artwork conveyed the intensity of it perfectly, and the story wrapped things up nicely. I'm feeling really good about future story arcs for X-O Manowar, and I can't wait to see what's next on the agenda. Read Full Review
X-O Manowar continues to be one of Valiant's strongest titles, and one of the industry's hottest series. Read Full Review
With X-O Manowar #32 comes an end to “Enter Armorines”. Slightly short-lived story, fun for what it's worth, though could possibly have been something bigger if more time was given for this story to get into a lot more than what was seen. Read Full Review
"X-O Manowar #32" is an action-packed, but somewhat disappointing end to what could have been one of the best arcs in the series. Philip Zahn turned out to be a generic, although ruthless, villain that could have been a great rival for Aric. The issue at least delivered to us some great moments, and I can't wait to see what's next for Aric. Read Full Review
This was a fun and easy story arc to follow that really highlighted the talents of the creators involved. Bigger things seem to be on the horizon as a powerful Dead Hand is about to be played. Read Full Review
Italia - P.zahn era uno psicopatico e lo si era giĆ capito. Aric riesce piuttosto facilmente, ma con l'uso dell'armatura, a far capire chi comanda e fa carcerare il pazzoide. 2 cose importanti accadono nel finale.
Another excellent issue, X-O Manowar has a solid place in my pull file so long as we keep getting issues like this. It's going to be especially interesting in the long term as we watch the armor slowly consume Aric over time, who knows what his fate will be in the end but it can't see it being pleasant.
Good ending.
