X-O Manowar Part 13: Harbinger #8 (August, 1992)

Aric joins the battle in the Lost Land and helps save one of the Harbinger kids.

I have this issue in the Unity Saga Vol. 2 Trade Paperback.

Aric is recruited and arrives in the Lost Land with the Harbinger kids and geomancer Geoff McHenry. After meeting several other Valiant heroes, he disappears during the initial battle. Aric reunites with Magnus, Gilad and others who launch an attack/rescue mission after Sting goes off and faces Mothergod alone.

Notes of Interest:

1) Aric is limited to four panels here, but at least they’re different panels this time.

2) We get a glimpse of Aric fighting alongside Magnus and Gilad, which makes us wonder how they got together…

WTF? Moment: We totally skip over Aric’s recruitment, which is sad because of all the moments to repeat from various perspectives it would have been nice to see the Harbinger group suddenly appear in Aric’s office.
