X-O Manowar #8

   Far from Earth, Aric has been fighting against a tyrant (and his army) on an alien world - and with this issue, we arrive at the final battle.

   It's a surprisingly laid back story, focusing mostly on the preparations for the battle, as Aric checks in with his friends, loved ones - and a traitor.

   (Don't worry, there's also a war included.)

   And while going to war in the X-O Manowar armor may seem like a bit of a cheat, Aric soon finds that the armor can only take him so far.

   It's a game-changing story by writer Matt Kindt, with dark but powerful artwork by Clayton Crain and Reynato Guedes, and it sets up lots of interesting possibilities for the future.

   Recommended!
