2.0

Probably 2.5 stars because of the art. If you're under 40 you probably didn't grow up with this kind of comic book. It's full of testosterone and insane, sadistic bad guys who are bad for the sake of being bad. I do give them credit for making one of the women a warrior though she still ended up naked and sleeping with the hero of the story. it reminded me a lot of Alien Legion, which I like, but in small doses as a nostalgic trip back to the 70's/80's. Reading 6 issues in a row was a bit much for me.

So if you're an old dude who used to read comics when you were little, I'd say give this a try, or maybe if you're an old dude who used to be in the military and you like sci-fi/fantasy go for it. Otherwise I'd recommend you spend your time reading some of the great newer comics that come out all the time like, Seven to Eternity or Birthright or Black Science.
