    Steeped in the history and culture of ancient Rome, X-O Manowar Unconquered #2 returns Aric of Dacia to his 5th Century roots. Like Soothsayer Nimanes visions, one glimpses his adventures through a glass darkly. While characters and situations coalesce, other mysteriessuch as the identity of Emperor Ursus Noxremain. As with Ridley Scotts movie Alien, the story and art leave us much to ponder. Read Full Review

    The art is incredible. I do like the where the story is going but the dialogue/writing can be a bit much at times. Just feel like they’re trying too hard or something.
