Re-Reading: X-O Manowar #47

[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.

So now we are told what had happened and why. Someone was angry. Ok, maybe not more stupid than other things we've seen. And the strength of Aric wins in the end. Still bad, but not as bad as last issue.

Aric is finally able to break the mind control (or as we find out later, did he really?). The writers basically proceed to destroy everything for Aric in this issue. Randy is dead, Ken sacrifices himself to save Aric and Orb is destroyed. Just plain awful….
