Pros

This is an absolutely quality title that's well worth your time. The book builds around aliens, violence, and a real quandary of a fish out of water. This book is 100% fantastic.

Eisner award winning cary nord (conan the barbarian with kurt busiek) is on for the first four issues. The art by cary nord is outstanding, and several of the pages stand out as excellent examples of visual storytelling. The story by venditti is aweso... Read More

Shipping

With an arsenal of alien tech strapped to his body aric escapes the ship and flies to rome

Packaging/appearance

Aric still an angry young man is insolent and has his hand cut off by the vine

I also enjoyed the way he depicted the vine rather than lazily writing them as evil alien overlords with one facet to their pe... Read More

The new valiant release from 2012 is cream on the cake

Competitiveness

I enjoy it as much for differant reasons

He goes from a powerful fighter to one of the most powerful people in the world
