With
the enormous power of the X-O Manowar armor at his command, Aric has
returned to Earth hell bent on destroying the Roman Empire. But the Rome
he encounters is as alien to him as the Vine colony ship he escaped
from – because 1,600 years have transpired in his absence. Without fully
understanding the consequences of his actions, will Aric’s first act in
the modern day ignite a new world war? Meanwhile, the secret history of
the Vine’s presence on Earth is finally revealed. Who is corporate
mogul Alexander Dorian? Will he be Aric’s one ally in this strange new
world – or his very first enemy?

Ce week-end je lis le volume 1 de la série et l'impression est bien meilleur que sur le volume deux même si c'est assez abrupt comme démarrage tout le coté barbare est effleuré dans les premières pages du N°1.

pour ma part, j'ai bien aimé le démarrage de ce nouveau n°1, bien plus que la reprise de solar et magnus par dark horse ce qui est bien dommage car les personnages et l'univers vallaint des années 90 étaient très intéressants et avec du potentiel

Planet Death looms! A new X-O Manowar rises! And nothing can stop what's coming.

With the Vine invasion fleet waiting in orbit, Aric of Dacia is forced into the one battle he never wanted, against the strongest, most horrifying opponent he’s ever faced. This adversary doesn’t want the X-O Manowar armor. It doesn’t want Earth. It only wants Aric — dead. The winner will hold the fate of everyone – human and Vine – in the palm of his hand. Because before this fight is over, the armor will reveal that it wields far more destructive potential than anyone could have possibly imagined. Robert Venditti and Trevor Hairsine conclude the two-part prelude that sets the stage for the epic war everything has been building up to. X-O Manowar is going home!
