Between 🤘🏻 and so-so depending on how you like graphic violence.

A really crazy story that's a bit like The Name of the Rose (with 0 Catholic monks) crossed with The Thirteenth Warrior/King Arthur (Clive Owen version). It's pretty violent, the art is super dark, but I like this idea a lot. The ending left it open for Valiant to do more with the character.

It did seem like a few panels were missing. Read for Graphic Novel group at the store.

Wonderful artwork & an intriguing notion get completely lost in the extremely rushed, uneven, and forced storytelling. It's beautifully bloody & focuses on Ancient Rome as well Druidism involving the Vestal Virgins, but the plot progression was so unsavoury & disappointing. 2 virgins outta 5.
