The first time I had read a Valiant comic was two summers
ago when Matt picked up a couple of issues of X-O Manowar and Britannia. The first thing that struck me was the
amazing artwork, but the storytelling in XO-Manowar by Matt Kindt was what
really grabbed me.
X-O Manowar: Volume 6 is an omnibus of issues 19 – 22 of
Matt Kindt’s 2017 story arc. Here we
follow Aric of Dacia, back on Earth, where Colonel Jamie Capshaw recruits him
to help investigate a strange and hostile threat. What Aric didn’t expect was that he would
soon be involved in a battle he has little interest in, but will do it to help
Colonel Capshaw. Aric, armed with his
suit of bio-armor called Shanhara, will once again become X-O Manowar to fight
for what he believes is right and just.
I was so excited to see that X-O Manowar: Volume 6 was being
offered on NetGalley! Although it had been several issues since I had read an
X-O Manowar book, having had a little background to Aric’s story, I was able to
pick up this volume and get right into it.
As with many Valiant books, the artwork by Juan Jose Ryp is
amazing. The colors as well as the fine
details help tell the story panel after panel.
Matt Kindt has brought this story to life where you can understand that
Aric has come back to Earth with little to no purpose, until Colonel Capshaw
asks him for this favor. The story is
set up and then it’s right back into battle, where we readers love to see X-O
Manowar dominate.
Thank you to NetGalley, Diamond Book Distributors, and
Valiant Entertainment for this E-ARC.
