Warlord #9 - DC


Another one of my all time favorite characters. And it appears that they're doing this one with a twist. First of all we have Bruce Jones and Bart Sears at the helm. I didn't know at first, but I'm starting to think that they are a dream team. The action and the pace of the story is accentuated by the flow and majesty of the art. I also wasn't sure about Bart's new style, at first, but it's flowing nicely with this book and story. Travis, er Lord Cassus, feels betrayed because his consort Regine has been falsely accused and murdered for something she didn't do. They thought Travis was dead, actually Tara did because she found him. But since Regine was also laying there on the beach, she framed her. When Travis, er Warlord, er Cassus came back from the dead, he found her dead and wanted immediate retribution. So he killed Tara and used her lifeforce to bring Regine back. Then he brought Shamballah back to it's previous glory. Now he's on a quest. He's out to find the Titans whom he feels betrayed him. He takes off just before Alexa, Terry and Brovis fly Travis' jet into the heart of Shamballah. So now he's out wandering the beautiful hills and forests of Skataris. This is where his adventures will really begin. Like I said, great job with the book. Riveting story, and beautiful art. Thanks for finally bringing him back.
