Oof. So let me say up front, I’m a HUGE Valiant fan…or at least, a huge “new Valiant” fan. Like a lot of people, I jumped on board the Valiant train with their 2012 reboot of the line and haven’t looked back since.

I was also ex Leggi tutto
This was bloody awesome! A good mixture of dark fantasy, mystery and historical fiction, all illustrated with stunning detailed artwork.
This is a story about a Roman who is chosen by the Vestal Virgins to investigate some weird supernatural occurrences in Britain.
