BONUS REVIEW by John Robinson
 To be perfectly honest, I only ever read the original X-O Manowar because of Bob Layton being part of the mix. Then I read the re-launch from Acclaim because of Mark Waids involvement. Now I've got Robert Venditti (Surrogates) writing, and yeah, it's okay with some blurry unfinished, rushed looking art from Cary Nord who I'm not a big fan of to begin with (though his painted Conan stuff worked well). It's really mediocre stuff so far, with the whole man out of time factor being the only interesting bit for me (and how long until the man from 1,600 years ago suddenly starts fitting in with modern times (probably way too quickly). It ain't bad, but it ain't great either. I give it 5 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
