Praetorian TPB (Outlaw Entertainmen; review by Lan Pitts) This is part "Da Vinci Code" and some part "X-Files." Four Praetorian guards were made immortal when Christ rose from the grave and were given the extreme task of protecting all of humankind. Now, in the present, there is a killer on the rise that maybe more than what the detective going after it had in mind. With it's graphic violence and language, it's recommended for mature readers, but that also means that the story is actually meant for readers with a certain level of intelligence. The art flows very well, and Ramon Espinoza's figure construction is somewhat cartoonish but has a certain style that goes well with the story. The panel construction is solid, and I mean solid. The story flows effortlessly, which works great with this genre of comic. The script is well-written, albeit a bit cliche at times. Despite that, it's worth checking out for the $7.99 price tag. It's a nice break from mega events and such and is a quick and enjoyable read.
