An all-new adventure starts here in Part 1 of "Upgrade the World!" X-O MANOWAR #5 Writer: Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum Artist: Emilio Laiso Publisher: Valiant Comics Release Date: August 18, 2021 Cover Price: $3.99 Harvey-Nominated Writer Dennis Hopeless and breathtaking artist Emilio Laiso return to continue the epic saga of Aric of Dacia, aka X-O MANOWAR, as he battles an unknown nanite monstrosity that is devouring the earth. Will our classic hero out of time finally evolve into the warrior of the future or will X-O Manowar drown with their past? Score: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) It's always tricky to get attract new readers entering a new arc. It shouldn't be for a flagship title like 'X-O Manowar' from Valiant but each arc is a new jumping-on point for someone and creatives have to serve the overarching storyline while also making it accessible to new readers.

PREVIEW: 'Suicide Jockeys' #1 by Rylend Grant, Davi Leon Dias, and Iwan Joko Triyono

Strap in for Tokusatsu action with 'Suicide Jockeys' from screenwriter/Ringo Award-winner Rylend Grant and Source Point Press Ten years after a catastrophic mission gone wrong, Denver Wallace, leader of the Suicide Jockeys - a poor, usually drunken, almost certainly mentally ill crew of monster-fighting, tank-and-aircraft-piloting suckers - must pick himself up off of the proverbial and literal floors, slap his estranged, desperately-fractured team back together and right what once went wrong. Creator Rylend Grant describes Suicide Jockeys as diverse cast Tokusatsu for the contemporary action movie fan. It’s essentially Voltron meets The Fast and the  Furious … with an extra dollop of heart and soul. The film comparisons flow freely and easily from Grant, a screenwriter by trade, with a decade’s worth of experience penning smart, character-driven action movies for the likes of JJ Abrams, Ridley Scott, Justin Linn, F. Gary Gray, and John Woo. Grant reteams here with Artist D...
