Same dude, right?
I guess he goes after Aric for what the Vine did to him?

Same dude. Some of it may be revenge, bet some of it is brain-washing/assimilation.

Rat *SQUEE*.

I thought those that he was captured with all died during the escape attempt - it says he is genetically similar, so he may not be from the same time, but it sounds like he was. Interesting. Guess not all of them escaped/died?

On my iPad I couldn't zoom in on that page to read the text, so thanks for posting. Seems pretty clear to me that that is Gafti. Avagis was a baby when abducted and would not have any knowledge of his people.

I need to go back and re-read those early books - I thought all his fellow visigoths were killed, other than the kidnapped baby. Looking forward to the new book - thankfully my LCS will be open on Wednesday. While I am eager to see the rest of the Ninjak arc, I'm most excited for Planet Death :)

That Clayton Crain cover still creeps me out. Aric is just floating there in space awkwardly tilting his groin towards me.

ON another note, Brian Reber's colours are incredible. As a minor league colourist myself, the guy is one of my heroes. Every book I've seen from him is phenomenal, and I'm glad he's on these books I love!

How heartbreaking if it is Gafti. Aric never did check if Gafti is actually dead. He just went on a rage after he thought Gafti died from the blast.

The art in this preview is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to read this arc, in fact....I'm a little behind in my X-O reading and need to pick up the last issue that came out and re-read the series as a whole so I can feel like I'm back at 100%. But man, what an awesome preview for issue #9!

I agree his right leg looks slightly atrophied and disturbingly akimbo, not so hot on that cover.

Glad Nord is the pullbox.

It's a bit of a shame about that gimpy leg on the Crain cover, really - that other Planet Death image by him is just phenomenal...

I agree. I met Clayton Crain at the first Calgary comic con, nice guy I got a signed print of Iron Man hassling Spider-Man.

I thought his early Black Spider-Man stuff was amazing.

Shame about the leg :?

If you aren't following him, check out Cary Nord's facebook. He put a small pic up of the top of a page from issue #11. It looks like he is inking himself and it looks friggin fantastic. The page has a Paquette-ish look to it. Can't wait to see the finished issue.

Compare that crain cover to this fan art Valiant posted on Twitter the other day.

This actually has a pose with energy and intensity.

I met Clayton Crain at the same Calgary Con, and he was nice enough. But that cover just seems awkward and "phoned in".

Personally I never thought the Vine might have kept the kidnapped baby. Figured they killed it after they left Earth. Would be interesting if Avagis was a character at some point. But the only motivation I can figure that the Vine would keep a baby around for is some kind of weird experiments.
