Matt Kindt's final X-O issue!
This is it! This is Matt Kindt's final issue of his Eisner Award-nominated, critically
acclaimed run on X-O MANOWAR.
"HERO" Part 4, the conclusion! X-O Manowar takes the fi nal battle against the galaxy's
baddest bounty hunters into space to decide the ultimate fate of the universe.
Perfect for fans of interstellar sci-fi adventure stories.
Overall this is a fitting finale to one of Valiant's most consistently engrossing and visually stunning series to date. Writer Matt Kindt has done a fantastic job of bringing X-O Manowar to the forefront of what can be done in comic books and sequential art storytelling. The high standard maintained throughout the run is evident in the culmination of Kindt's epic narrative here in this issue. If you haven't been following X-O Manowar in single issues I highly recommend picking up the trades. Read Full Review
You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ending to a run than what we got out of X-O Manowar #26. Other books try to see this as that opportunity to crank the dial one last time, but sometimes all you need is to take a step back and use that time for appreciating everything which led to this point. I was moved because Aric is the very definition of what you get when exploring the importance of the person behind the mask, or helmet in his case. Read Full Review
X-O Manowar has been one of the most consistent series in terms of quality over the past two years, and has understandably garnered some pretty high expectations issue after issue " expectations that the series has met (and often exceeded) with each and every time. The series may have ended for now, but it's going to go down in the annals of Valiant history as one of the most iconic runs in the publisher's archives. Read Full Review
Despite some pacing issues, it's still a decent enough issue. The future of X-O Manowar looks great even with this hiccup along the way. Read Full Review
O Manowar in fine fashion and give the character a strong run to point new readers toward. Read Full Review
Very much a "writer's" story, rather than an X-O one. Overall, this was a good run though.
The entire team can be proud of it.
You know how X-O Manowar is essentially a cross between Thor and Superman? Well, in case you forgot, we have this as the last issue in the series to remind us. Overall, this was a decent run; it started out strong but it gradually lost steam with each passing month. If you plan to check out this series, I'd recommend sticking around until Aric is the emperor and leaving off on that high point.
