Fall Of X-O Manowar, Rai #11, Ivar #10

Posted by

VCR LogoWe review the new Valiant Comics out on stands today. We see the last moments of X-O, a whole lot of dinosaurs in Ivar, and a whole lot of moving around in Rai. It’s a lot of good, and different stuff to discuss this week.

In X-O Manowar, we see Aric have his last moments, and a touching connection with his daughter. Plus, we see an old foe in a new light, and a nice big fight between that foe and X-O Manowar. This book also leads us into a discussion about legacy in the Valiant Universe

In Ivar, things get strange as Ivar is thrown into the gladiatorial pits. This is an interesting setting that could easily become a silly farce, but somehow avoids that. We talk about what makes this issue great, and avoids some of those silliness traps.

In Rai, a whole lot of folks are moving around from here to there. There’s a whole lot of movement to set up the final issue of this arc. This issue has a couple cameos by some interesting characters though, and we talk about that. Plus, we talk about some of the potential in the world of 4001.

Spoiler alert! We have discussed these books assuming you have read these books too, so read the books first if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Listen right here, right now:
