A review by liana
Army of Darkness/Xena, Warrior Princess: Forever and a Day, by Scott Lobdell
4.0
I always feel like a non DC/Marvel comic book is going to be a big hit or miss. Fortunately, this one was a hit. I grew up watching Xena on TV and she's still a character I love so incredibly much (dare I say she and gabrielle were my gay awakening? I'll say it). Xena was a badass, the battle scenes were very well written and woven in the story and as for Xena and Gabrielle's love? That was breathtaking. My seven-year-old self is still beaming and crying tears of joy.
The story arc relies heavily on time-travelling. Actually, scratch that; the story is about time-travelling. One thing you need to know about me is I usually hate time-travel storylines and abilities. They are either used inappropriately or create more trouble than they solve. That's not the case here; time-travelling actually fits with the story and serves its purposes. I think the correct use of time-travelling was what made me love this comic so much.
