Will our hero survive combat with one of the fiercest and most brash of the Novus Romanus warriors-- Thyra Antius in her very own T-O Armor? Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: 'X-O Manowar: Unconquered' #3 by Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad, and Liam Sharp continues to be a beautifully rendered sci-fi drama that bristles with intrigue, menace, and mystery. It's a battle of wills between Aric and Thyra for the sentient armor Shanhara. There are some important reveals in this issue so not a lot can be said without spoiling it but what is evident is the style and tone of the series boiled down into this chapter. It's not your typical space opera, the stakes are personal for Aric but the consequences of Novus Rom...

  TERRORWAR #2  Writer: Saladin Ahmed Artist: Dave Acosta, Jay Leisten, Walter Pereyra Letters: Shawn Lee Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: May 24, 2023 Cover Price: $3.99 Muhammad and his squad of Terrorfighters have earned some downtime. Sure, a homicidal rival crew, armored cops, and a Terror made of living fire are in their way-but they're getting that drink, dammit! Two-fisted sci-fi strangeness from Eisner winner SALADIN AHMED and horror star DAVE ACOSTA! Score: ★★★1/2 (3.5/5) 'Terrowar' debuted with a lot of promise. It has a sense of coolness from its premise to the execution of action that energizes the futuristic dystopian genre. A team of Terrofighters that fight Terrors that manifest from people's fears is a unique way to introduce some creatively designed monsters and action sequences. In issue two, Saladin Ahmed relies a little too much on fighting alone as Muhammad's crew takes on their rivals. That's not to say it's a bad issu...
