Re-Reading: X-O Manowar #11

[xoken]

I thought we could do a book a day (that way people can read one every day or catch up on weekends), talk about it on its own, in the context of whats next, in regards to what expectations it creates and vote on how good it is. I don't have to be the one that posts everyday. If I miss a day or if someone wants to take over please do

For voting think of your single favourite comic book (not just VALIANT) as the benchmark - thats a 10 - and grade according to that.

Make sure to mention what you like'd about the book, what you didn't, what you wish they would have done, your favourite panels, lines of dialogue, little bits of trivia etc.

This issue was pretty good, His conversation with "noser" was funny. Interesting story and had me anticipating the next issues so the mystery of the dreams could be unraveled.

Aric also makes an eerie prophecy in this book Why don't you take one of those "Valiant" tablets? It'll help you sleep.
No Aric, those are comics and it will take the folks that run Valiant a little while longer for to accomplish that task.

Good issue. I love the team of Leeke, Ryder, and Gonzales.

We get to see a small fight, some office life and some talking about strange dreams. It's great. Just let the story build up by itself and let us enjoy all the little details on the way. Don't rush things. That's intelligent writing.

Would this be considered to be a "key" issue in that it has the first appearance of the armor's built-in sword? One strange thing to me was after Aric throws it at an alien to test its balance he doesn't recover it before descending to the lower levels in search of the rest of the alien party.
