Was very impressed with this issue. IMO the best X-O 2017 issue so far!

There really hasn't been a let down, not one bit, not in any single area. Loving this story

Re: XO Manowar [2017] #5 Discussion
I love when my favorite character (Divinity) makes an appearance (Flashback) unexpectedly...
This was probably my favorite issue thus far....

Re: XO Manowar [2017] #5 Discussion
Another brutal issue and heated discussion between Aric and Shanhara at the end.
"As you wish. I am yours to command as ever, Aric of Dacia..."
Sometimes it's hard to tell who's fighting who in those battle scenes. Total chaos. Brilliant!
...
Awesome stuff in the extra material. Love the deleted scene that doesn't seem to be a deleted scene... and Matt Kindt's reference to Saga's The Stalk!

Good storytelling for sure, but amazing artwork. The detail on some of the faces is excellent.

Thoroughly enjoying this. We're getting a story we simply could not have seen with Aric on Earth.

Re: XO Manowar [2017] #5 Discussion
Best issue yet! I'm starting to get more 'used' to this new World Aric now inhabits with all the different tribes, characters etc so the reading experience is smoother. Loved the bit when the Cadmium Emperor wanted to surrender but Aric coldly told him he "doesn't accept submissions"! And the follow up scene where Aric turns his soldiers onto the Emperor and remaining Cadmiums was BRU-TAL!
Great writing and great art 4.5/5
