X-O Manowar and Ninjak unearth The Vine's ultimate endgame! Deep within the halls of the MI-6, a sinister plot by The Vine's alien agents is about to come to fruition. Their goal? Wipe humanity off the map - beginning with X-O Manowar. To get the job done, The Vine has enlisted Ninjak, the world's most lethal assassin, but by doing so, they may have sealed their own fate. What began as a war between two men must become an uneasy truce...or Earth will fall. Betrayal, death, and a changing of the guard await in this explosive conclusion to the smash hit arc establishing X-O Manowar in the Valiant Universe.
Lee Garbett does some stellar work in this issue. There's a few panels that feel like they could use a bit more detail, but once the action gets rolling, the book looks fantastic. One page in particular is just panel after panel of Ninjak and X-O cutting guys to pieces. And man, I'll tell you, when X-O bursts out of the water in front of a bunch of baddies, that is what comic books are all about. It's cool as cool can be. Read Full Review
