- This issue was published in between X-O Manowar #18 and X-O Manowar #19 but has nothing to do with their ongoing story "Operation Deep Freeze." It is instead a prequel to "Retribution," the story in X-O Manowar #1.
Quotes
- I learned the art of sword-making so our people wouldn't be reliant on stolen plunder to kill our enemies. This is honest steel, boy.
- -- Rolf
- The Holy Roman Empire owes me a debt of blood. And... I will collect on it. That, also -- is the Goth way!
- I owe you my life. It is a debt that must be repayed. It is the way of my people. How may I serve you my lord?
- -- Deidre
- The Goth god is also the god of Romans, my love. I wash my hands of anything Roman! If Lugh brought you to me -- then it's Lugh I'll gladly serve.
- Ain't got no pencil -- sorry, son. I guess you can't lose my map if it's carved into your palm, can you?
- -- Mapgiver
