This book is really amazing. Pick up the trades and the single issues. Art and story are amazing. Joshua and Jonathan Luna are really cool guys too.

The fight scenes in this book are some of the best in comics, in any genre.

Most anticipated book this week. Wolverine was a close 2nd.

I know there are two trades out...does anyone know what issues the 3rd one is going to collect? Is this a good jumping on point?

I believe each tpb volume covers 6 issues. It's 1-6, 7-12, 13-19, etc..

Correction: 13-18 then 19-24.

@ ludusmaximus I'd definitely pick up the last two if you want the whole confrontation. It's a great fight and the end of ish 15 was jaw dropping!

I doubt this issue is a good jumping on point, but if you have read the first two trades and can't find the last few issues I think you could read this one and not be totally lost.

I've been following this series since issue one.... and I really like it, but I hope the series gives us something more interesting than a gazillion issues of "Dara's Revenge."
It was kinda interesting when Knossos' goon got a hold of the sword a few issues back, and I think it was a lost opportunity. He should have kept it for six issues.... twelve issues, whatever. Following the sword as it passes from person to person and seeing how they individually react to its powers could be a real cool plot device. Maybe Dara eventually gets it back, maybe she doesn't. But so far we have a great action comic with a really tired "Death Wish" plot. I want more.

What I'm interested to see is once the demi-gods are attended to, what the next step will be. This has sort of a 'Kill Bill' feel to it. I'm interested to see how the L. Bros will end this once she's satiated, or it will continue. I'm just hoping the aftermath will be as good as the current writing. But Ultra and Girls were excellent, so I'm sure they'll do something fun with it.

Damn it!!! My LCS never gets this book the week it is release I always have to wait!

Gotta' say, that was some creative thinking on Dara's part to put the sword where she did. Ye-ouch!
