X-O MANOWAR (2017) #2
BRITANNIA: WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE #1 (of 4)
Fifty thousand Romans stand on their feet, watching from
the rafters of the coliseum with captured breath as Achillia, a gladiator
unlike any that Rome has seen before, faces incredible odds – one lone warrior
against five of Rome’s greatest. Such is the tradition, when a female gladiator
enters the fray. When the carnage is complete, the coliseum roars its approval
as Achillia stands victorious. Now, only one match away from winning her
freedom, she has begun to gain renown. The women of Rome, suppressed by their
husbands and fathers, have noticed. The men of Rome, husbands and fathers to a
growing horde of women entertaining ideas of independence, have noticed as
well.

They asked for war. He’ll give them death.
Deep within the far reaches of space, the dogs of war
have found Aric of Dacia. Conscripted into an alien army and forced into
combat, Aric must enter an alien battlefield unlike any he’s faced before. His
only hope for survival is also the source of his greatest rage – the living
suit of armor known as X-O Manowar.
Can Aric still embrace the violence within? Get ready, because
the most brutal fight in X-O Manowar’s life is about to begin!

Valiant’s critically acclaimed, 10-time sold-out magnum
opus returns with a brand-new journey into myth and mystery, from comics master
Peter Milligan (Shade, The Changing Man) and incendiary artist Juan José Ryp
(BRITANNIA)!
On the other side of Rome, a strange mystery swirls
through the Palatine Hill. In the dead of night, down winding alleys, Rome’s
elite swear that they see visions of a blood-soaked Apollo walking the
city…visions that are driving them mad. Even more are becoming sick with weird
fever god-dreams. Panic ensues in the city. The Chief Vestal, Rubria, is
arrested by Emperor Nero and threatened with crucifixion unless the deadly
curse that’s fallen on Rome is lifted. She asks Antonius Axia, hero of
Britannia and Rome’s only detective, for help. She offers only one clue…the
gladiator Achillia.
