X-O Manowar Vol 1 20

I've had it, Randy. I'm fed up with your "civilized world." Tired... disappointed. I'm leaving here. I'm not sure if I'm ever coming back. This is your world -- not mine. I need you to guard the armor while I'm away. You're the only one I can trust.

Synopsis[]

Buried under two hundred tons of rubble by Garrett and his C.I.A. thugs, X-O blasts his way free and rescues Randy. It takes more than brute force to save Orb Industries from the I.R.S., but with help from Harada's connections and sensitive information the Armor gleaned from the C.I.A.'s computers, Aric proves more than a match for the government.^[1]
