'X-O Manowar' has been an adrenaline rush that's lit a fire under the comic book market. It's everything you could ask for in a sci-fi action story. It's 'John Carter' on Red Bulls and speed. Kindt finds a way to hold on to Aric's humanity amid a relentless war. It's no easy feat and the beautiful visceral art from Braithwaite and Rodriguez makes it visually stunning as well.

Luscious art, that's what I get in this book, like peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich, almost too good. Being a huge proponent of detail, I can say that Doug's work here is truly mind-blowing here. Read Full Review

Aric is once again rising through the ranks. What could have been a stale rehash of his story appears vibrant and refreshing. Kindt & co. are crafting a wonderful space opera in the vein of Bradbury or Asimov. This book sparkles as a gem of yesteryear, but it also shines like a beacon of modern storytelling.

I give this issue 4 out 5 stars. It doesn't quite have the sheer momentum of the previous issues because Aric and his team are out of immediate danger fairly early and it tries to be both a wrap-up and beginning of a new storyline. However, it is still a well-executed issue. This is one of those series that is a joyous reminder of why comic books are such a captivating medium for storytelling. It has been mentioned before, but it bears repeating that this is also an excellent series for new readers to jump on to. If you haven't yet jumped onto this X-O series, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Read Full Review

These problems aside, X-O Manowar is still an excellent series and definitely worth your time. If you haven't already started reading this franchise, start now. There's not much more I can say. X-O Manowar is in a class of its own. Read Full Review

Nothing against the art of Doug Braithwaite as what he does works for this story. However, it was sad to see Tomas Giorello go for this arc. Maybe it is a byproduct of being infatuated with the new kid on the block but Giorellos art was something special. He made this book feel like a major event worthy of the highest attention, which is a trait that Braithwaite along with most artist does not have. Read Full Review

Great art and a narrative that creates the conditions for that art makes for a good read. Read Full Review

An okay outing with a nice new direction, but it retreads themes we've seen before. Read Full Review

I love this series, ready for Shadowman

As someone who has never read X-O Manowar before 2017, this was a great issue to introduce the armor I see on every cover. Great read and I am so excited to see whats next.

I love how Aric has matured from the previous run, it just feel natural. The artwork is fantastic as always, the visual cue provided by the closeup of the moth was interesting. I'm starting to get pretty fed up with the leadership that Aric is serving under, how many times can they try to screw him over? It's going to be sweet when Aric finally takes them down.
