When I bought the complete collection of Graphic Novels that the Black Library published in 2005 this was one of the books that entered my mind and I didn't forget it. Why? Because the drawings are excelent and most of them are not at all confusing. The letters are not confusing as well. Daemonifuge failed in that part. The images are spectacular. Some of them didn't left my mind and when I read a Black Library book depicting Chaos I usually imagine them from this book. As the Summary says Leonatos is tasked to find the sword or else he won't redeem himself. Some other space marines go with him. In this tale they fight Orks and all kinds of Chaos Scum from the lowest caste to daemons. The first two novels are that retrival of the sword and battle throughtout the world full of chaos soldiers. They encounter some interesting allies and in the end they are able to retrieve the sword with a lot of pain. After the retrival the survivors return to the world to search for Leonatos. This last part is probably my favourite. Very good read. The book is of course out of print but you can buy this book instead. It compiled these three graphic novels, Space Hulk (a novella), four short stories and Heart of Rage a prose version of a audio drama. The price is very small compared what would you pay for each indiviual piece.

A truly fantastic read. The full color comic book is a visual treat, and the story of losing a precious artifact and questing to the ends of the galaxy to track it down is great too! Gordon Rennie makes sure to give short recaps at the start of each chapter which help both newcomers to the franchise, as well as veterans remember what's been happening, and overall weaves a fun and rewarding story for fans to experience! Colin MacNeil's art and coloring is superb and something I will definitely be revisiting now that I've finished the book! Bravo!
