The Warlord

[nwpassage]

I've begun collecting The Warlord run, and have about half the issues. I have a good chunk of the middle of the run. What I was wondering was not so much about collecting it, but reading. Would it be best read from beginning to end, or is it something that I could read peice-meal?

 

I read the first annual, and loved it. I thought the story was very nicely told, and carried the comic, although I do like Grell's art as well.

 

Just wondering if I should wait until I have the whole run to begin reading, or is it not a continuous story? Thanks to anyone who responds.

You probably don't have to read them in order... there are no big WTF revelations that would be spoiled by getting to them too soon. Most of the stories are done-in-ones, and it might in fact be fun to read some of the middle period stories first, and then go back and read the earlier issues for the first appearance of Mariah, or Deimos, for instance.

 

Caveat-- I dropped the book shortly after Grell stopped doing the art, so I really don't have an opinion about anything that happened after #50 or so...

Hard to believe this was one of the top sellers of 1970`s and 1980`s but not much interest in it today. this is a great series, after Grell you do have a good Dan Jurgens run.The first 100 issues of this are on par with the first 100 issues of Marvel`s Conan.
