Learn to count, Conan. X-O Manowar expands the immigration policy of the United States Of America It won't last.

Nikolai Fomich sent in a few bullet points ahead of a longer report… Sergio is currently penciling #4 of Groo Vs Conan.

Solution was using Sergio and mark WITHIN the comic, where[...]

Not in the original text, and some will take issue with yet another example of bisexuality equating being a baddie of[...]

But not even he always gets his way, when criminal-turned hero overrules him in Secret Avengers,taking the top spot, and launching his own class war against the Captain.
