As some of you may remember the “Planet Death” saga had
ended with issue 14 last month. I am glad to say that now things have gotten
back to normal in X-O Manowar issue
15 kind of….
It should be noted now that most of this issue is told
though flashbacks. Issue 15 starts off with Aric in the National Museum of
History in Bucharest, Romania where he finds his father’s crown and then from
that point tell the end is all flashbacks. We get to see how much of a leader
Aric really is by telling his people that he is afraid too but that if there is
no risk there is no reward.
I have to say I love the response of the people on earth
when they see a space ship ½ the size of their city land on Earth instead of
the “O wow mom look aliens!”.
That became a reoccurring theme with this issue (realism). Which
in this case isn’t really a bad thing in fact I don’t think this issue could
work with out it.
I also have to say I love the Eternal Warrior knows Aric and
also calls him out on it saying that “there are people living here now. It’s not
the 5th century anymore you can’t just drop out of the sky and claim
a piece of land for your own the hole world is watching.” That sentence alone
gives us a pretty good look in to the mindset that Aric has.
Whether you pick The Eternal Warrior ‘s side with how wrong
Aric is or Aric’s side with him wanting his people to be remembered and have a
place of their own on Earth this story was a capital S story a 5/5 all day
there are more reason that I can’t tell you because of spoilers but trust me
when I say that this is a must have and Valiant is a must watch for when it
comes to the comic book seen.
I am CJ and until next time happy reading.
