Ares: God of War #[nn]

Marvel's God of War stands imposing against a blood-red sky on this trade paperback collecting the *Ares* series by Oeming and Foreman — the armored Greek deity balances a spear across his broad shoulders, a lion-faced pauldron gleaming on his chest and a massive sword resting at his feet, with a storm-struck cityscape smoldering ominously in the distance. The whole image pulses with the kind of raw, mythological menace that makes Ares one of Marvel's most compelling figures to finally get his own spotlight in 2006. If you've ever wanted a serious, sword-and-thunder take on the Olympian God of War, this collection is a very satisfying place to start.
