X-O Manowar Vol. 1: By the Sword

This book is utterly awesome in every sense of the word.  Aric Dacia is a warrior trapped out of his own time with an alien weapon at his disposal.  So far Valiant Comics is two for two in what I have read.  I am eagerly looking forward to the next volume of this book if you are board with Marvel or DC Comics, Valiant is a great alternative.  The Vine is a formidable collective enemy for Aric to go up against.  I really like how condensed this book was like Archer & Armstrong any longer & it might have lost its momentum.  I hope Aric is able to find some connection with this present world that he has returned to.
