Titan II: Vivaporius ? Great Graphic Novel!

"Titan II: Vivaporius" carries on where "Titan - The Graphic Novel" left off: namely with the crew of the mighty Warlord class titan: Imperius Dictatio. Where as "Titan - The Graphic Novel" had a relatively short story that didn't amount to much more than an introduction to Imperius Dictatio and its' crew, "Titan II: Vivaporius" goes much further and introduces an interesting story with a well-developed plot, all within the bounds of graphic novel. Where "Titan - The Graphic Novel" left us at the end of an Imperial campaign against Ork invaders, "Titan II: Vivaporius" plunges us in the midst of a campaign against the alien Tyranids (after of course, the Orks are routed). Unlike what amounted to a relatively easy fight for the Imperius Dictatio's crew against the Orks, the Tyranids put up a tough fight and many of Imperius Dictatio's brother titans are destroyed. One, in fact, is captured, which leads to some of the graphic novel's more interesting plot directions. The other very interesting plot detail is the entry of the Eldar as an ally force. I very much enjoyed the way that the writers and illustrators of the Eldar portrayed them. They truly seem alien and imposing rather than simply anthropomorphic copies of human beings. All in all, "Titan II: Vivaporius" was a very enjoyable read and a far superior piece of art and writing than its' predecessor. I highly recommend "Titan II: Vivaporius."Review by: Maximillian Ben Hanan
