Homecoming (15-18). It's great to see the new X-O continue to revisit great ideas from the original series. Previously "Homecoming" was the story of Aric thrown back through time to his original tribe. It was cool, but ultimately of limited importance. Here we instead get Aric landing on Earth with the Visigoth tribe that he liberated from the Vine and trying to create a new home for them. And, it's glorious. This is the sort of thing that you don't typically see in superhero comics: global events with global response. I was absolutely enthralled wondering what was going to happen next (and shaking my head as things spun out of control in different ways). This is an original story, well told [9/10]. 
 Unity & The King (19-22, Unity 1-4). This overall crossover is a nice continuation of the events of X-O Manowar: Homecoming that refuses to hit any reset buttons, but instead continues to relentlessly push forward the narrative. 
 Of the two crossing over comics, X-O Manowar is the stronger. Venditti continues to do a superb job not just of characterizing Aric, but also of growing the character. As ever, I'm eager to see where the story of him (and his people!) goes next. Unfortunately, I wasn't thrilled by the artist on the X-O issues. He's not bad, but he's stylized enough that the art melds badly with Unity [8/10]. 
 The Unity issues don't have the same emotional depth as the X-O issues, perhaps because we're seeing a larger cast of characters and perhaps because they're just coming together. However, I love the global scope of this comic, and I love how dynamic it is. If both of these elements continue, then it should become great as Kindt becomes more comfortable with the characters [7/10]. 
 Overall, this is another fine volume of X-O Manowar.
