Britannia Vol 2 We Who Are About To Die Tpb

Valiant?s critically acclaimed, 10-time sold-out magnum opus returns with a brand new journey into myth and mystery, from comics master Peter Milligan (Shade, the Changing Man) and incendiary artist Juan Jos? Ryp (BRITANNIA)! Fifty thousand Romans stand on their feet, watching from the rafters of the coliseum with captured breath as Achillia, a Gladiator unlike any that Rome has seen before, faces incredible odds ? one lone warrior against five of Rome?s greatest. Such is the tradition, when a female gladiator enters the fray. When the carnage is complete, the coliseum roars its approval as Achillia stands victorious. Now only one match away from winning her freedom, she has begun to gain renown. The women of Rome, suppressed by their husbands and fathers, have noticed. The men of Rome, husbands and fathers to a growing horde of women entertaining ideas of independence, have noticed as well. On the other side of Rome, a strange mystery swirls through the Palatine Hill. In the dead of night, down winding alleys, Rome?s elite swear that they see visions of a blood-soaked Apollo walking the city?visions that are driving them mad. Even more are becoming sick with weird fever god-dreams. Panic ensues in the city. The Chief Vestal, Rubria, is arrested by Emperor Nero and threatened with crucifixion unless the deadly curse that?s fallen on Rome is lifted. She asks Antonius Axia, hero of Britannia and Rome?s only detective, for help. She offers only one clue?the gladiator Achillia. Collecting?BRITANNIA: WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE #1-4.

A terrifying new quest into the unknown! The Roman standard ? the eagle borne at the front of each Roman legion ? was more than just a symbol of the soldiers that carried it? It was a symbol of Rome itself, the ultimate embodiment of the empire?s power? But now, in the mist-shrouded Germanic forest of Tottenwald, the unthinkable has happened: A rampaging barbarian horde has crushed three of Rome?s most highly skilled detachments in battle?and captured their mighty Roman eagles. His authority threatened by this all-too-public shame, the mad emperor Nero has dispatched Antonius Axia, the empire?s finest ?detectioner? and hero of Britannia, and Achillia, the sword-wielding champion of the gladiatorial arena, to reclaim his stolen relics at any cost. But what began as a simple mission will soon become a terrifying journey into the dark heart of belief itself as the isolated woodlands of Rome?s enemies reveal unseen dimensions?and the true power of the legion?s lost eagles threatens to consume any who would pursue them? Valiant?s sold-out descent into the horrors of the ancient world returns with an all-new volume from legendary comics master Peter Milligan (Detective Comics) and Harvey Award-nominated artist Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH) as Antonius Axia, history?s first detective, launches into an otherworldly mystery of monsters, magic, and conspiracy at the boundaries of human understanding?
