Good issue. But this is twice now that Aric's team has been double crossed by the Azure command who try to kill them after each success. I can't imagine he'll put up with that again.

Pretty good overall. Was prepared to be let down by the issue till the last page. I hope they bond next issue and we see the armor in full action.

It's probably an important element that will lead to him rising further beyond the military ranks & into taking a position of power over the various races on Goran. The next story arc after General is titled Emperor, right? I can't recall what the 4th arc is called, but I think it will follow that thematic path...

i agree It seems like aric to put their head on a poll and walk around town as a reminder.
Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Fool me three time your head is on a pole.

I my self am enjoying the slow build. This is a nice change from the armor destroying whole space fleet armada of ships. Or taking on atat's on loam. Or surviving a world wide destruction. It's nice to see the armor gossiping with the ladies.

This was decent. With this new volume of X-O, it's about the journey, the first year is basically one big arc. Once Aric is done here and preparing to head back to earth (HW2) that's when it's really gonna gets interesting for me. I'm enjoying this "Planet Hulk" type take on X-O, I guess I'm just looking down the line a bit....

I'm surprised he didn't just kill his superior right then. But it sounds like he has a plan (with the Burnt?)

"X-O Manowar is a remarkable experience that knocks it out of the park month after month."

I think this book looked *SQUEE* awesome. Doug Braithwaite delivers nothing but A+ arwork, imho. I really enjoy every issue of this series in that dept.
The story is not grabbing me, but "Go, blue dudes!", I guess...

This may be a noob question but I assume since part 11 is called Visigoth, then Aric could be returning to Earth? What year would that be?

That's the $64,000 question.
