X-O Manowar Vol 3 48

The Armor showed me a vision. I know why the Torment are here. They are not like other conquerors I have faced. Rome desired an empire and tribute. Commander Trill wanted to claim our world. My mother once told me that home is not a place. It is the memories and experiences each of us carries within ourselves. That is what the Torment have come for. They have no interest in what we are. They come to consume who we are.
