The X-O Manowar #5 – The God Hunt #1 Official Synopsis:
A NEW STORY ARC STARTS HERE!
TRAVEL TO THE HEAVEN OF THE MIND!
Shanhara has been silent since Typhon’s horrific field vision attack. Aric is at a loss of how to help his queen, the woman who aided him millenia ago, the ethereal being residing within the stellar armor he wears in his quest for honor.
Aric is a warrior, and has been since his days with the Visigoths. But some battles can’t be won with energy-based weapons, sometimes all you have to do is look inside.
Artists Diego Giribaldi and Tomas Aira (RESURGENCE: FINALE) join writer Steve Orlando for this special chapter in THE X-O MANOWAR series, where nightmares and dreams come together.
