I re-read X-O Manowar during the last month
And loved most of it.
SPOILERS AHEAD-----------
#27 - Turok and Aric randomly walking thru his yard found a tunnel that led them to Spider Aliens (lame....)
#28 - X-O Armor destroyed (had big potential, seemed too easy)
#30 - Liked the new X-O armor via Paul, but how the seed was found (Solar finding a random seed on an armor elsewhere in galaxy could have been more epic and seemed more important/difficult. Entire arc could have been constructed around it)
#37-#41 - Wolfbridge Affair - Was one of my least favorite arcs. Could have had more creativity for a 5 issue arc.
#44-#47 - Birthquake - Oh where do I start. Marz's writing of the plot was good, but I had a HUGEEEE problem with killing off Randy and Ken, as I believe they were both huge keys to the X-O book and the future. Sears' art was amazing (as was his run on Turok) and I have a passion for his art. So I have a love/hate relationship with Birthquake.
#49-#50s - Aric vs Paul - Great art by Sears and Smith, story okay at best
#63-67 - WTF is this *SQUEE*
#68 - Worst comic book ending of all time.
I loved this series despite multiple problems with it, but the last 15 issues were a real struggle to get thru.
I tried the NEW X-O, but wouldn't read past issue 3 because it has ZERO bit of what made the original X-O so good.
Dunno if you guys agree or disagree, but I hope I haven't offended anyone.
