Warlord #4 - DC

Was a huge fan of the first series. Both because of the character, and because of Mike Grell. First began to like Mike's work on his Legion of Super-heroes stories. Well, unfortunately, Mike is not on this series. However, Bruce Jones and Bart Sears are. I don't feel like they're ignoring what's gone on before, but rather retelling it with a more current relevance. Issue #1 started out the same, with Travis Morgan test piloting an aircraft which then ends up crashing it the actic. But, at the extreme pole, is an entrance in to the world, supposedly, inside the earth Skartaris. He then falls into a skirmish between two warring countries, or tribes, in which they end up feeling that he is a prophesized god that is supposed to be returning to help them. He does resemble the prophesies, and his necklace is the symbol of the diety. From there we begin our trek back in to sword & sorcery. Haven't been here in a while. It's good to be back. Now while I am a huge Bart Sears fan, I really can't comment positive or negatively on this new series. Yet! He is obviously trying a new style. It's definitely different from his older work, and he is doing his own inking this time. I see glimmers of hope, but I also see what looks like rushed work, sometimes. The style is good for this book. If it were anywhere else, I definitely would not like it. But, he's only 4 issues in. I've liked his work before on numerous series, for numerous companies, so when he hits his stride, it'll be awesome. Bruce Jones has already got a couple subplots going, so I feel that this series is only gonna get better and better.
