My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Xena: Warrior Princess era uno de mis personajes favoritos de televisión. Una mujer hermosa y poderosa, capaz de vencer a cualquier en combate, llena de remordimientos, pero capaz de compasión y sin miedo a incursionar en la comedia de acción, como personaje ha cometido muchos errores , pero una y otra vez se pone en pie sin agachar la cabeza. Una maravilla feminista en tiempos anteriores a que se hiciera popular Black Widow.

Este comic es un relanzamiento de la historia, cuando Gabrielle su fiel futura sidekick, sale de su pueblo en busca de aventuras. Una mujer bardo que no quiere solamente casarse sino que escribir poesía épica. En este comic ella es asaltada , y Xena sale al rescate quedando sus destinos enlazados.

Situated in the 4th season of the show, apparently after the fourth episode, because Paige is there and there is a brief mention of Cole as a lawyer and nothing else. It is a typical adventure of the witches, with a villain invested in get rid of them; Paige interested in some guy; Phoebe with struggles at the newspaper; and Piper trying to mantain business and sisters afloat.

Now with his partner gone, Sikes must defend his newborn baby from a hostile band of criminals determined to destroy anyone who's different-- even an innocent child

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Fui una fan de la serie, que trataba de que ocurriria si una nave de alienigenas caia cerca de Los Angeles y terminaban viviendo entre la poblacion humana. Para que esto funcionara, las diferencias no debian ser demasiadas, cuando menos por fuera, pero la cultura y otras cosas fisiologicas diferian, desde cuestiones de apareamiento hasta el hecho de que el hombre lleva a término la gestación de su especie. Sip, canon MPREG, casi.
