When an event like Harbinger Wars 2 has your hero tied up, what to do in his regular title?
How about a flashback story? (That trick always works!)
And it's an easy fix for X-O Manowar, since his time-traveling backstory extends back to his battles against Ancient Rome.
And that's exactly where this story goes, starting with a gladiator battle in the Roman Coliseum (which highlights some of the surprising features of that structure) and following Aric as he sets out on a rescue operation that leads to some surprising revelations.
With strong art and an interesting story, this is a solid outing - especially since it's mostly marking time until the event wraps up (which it did this week).
It's one of the strengths of this series - one month X-O is Iron Man, the next he's Conan.
