In advance of C2E2 this weekend, Valiant is proud to announce\u00a0BRITANNIA: LOST EAGLES OF ROME<\/strong>, the beginning of an\u00a0ALL-NEW EPIC SERIES\u00a0<\/strong>retreading the courageous steps of history’s first detective! On\u00a0July 25th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, Valiant’s sold-out descent into the horrors of the ancient world returns with\u00a0A BLOODSTAINED JUMPING-ON POINT<\/strong>\u00a0from legendary comics master\u00a0Peter Milligan<\/strong>\u00a0(Detective Comics<\/em>) and Harvey Award-nominated artist\u00a0Robert Gill<\/strong>\u00a0(BOOK OF DEATH) as \u201cdetectioner\u201d Antonius Axius launches into an otherworldly mystery of monsters, magic, and conspiracy at the boundaries of human understanding…<\/p>\n

\u201cThis story certainly builds on and adds to the two stories that have gone before it,\u201d\u00a0writer Peter Milligan told SyFy Wire<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cI wanted to give a greater sense\u00a0of the sheer scope of the Roman world, the Roman empire. In the first story, we see its northern border, Britain. In the second, we see its home turf. But in LOST EAGLES OF ROME, we expand eastwards, and see how the empire encompassed Egypt, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be able to draw monsters and demons and Ancient Rome all in one book is such a ridiculously exciting thing for me, but to have all that infused with Peter’s talent for incorporating deeper psychological themes and more complex storytelling just makes the whole thing that much more appealing to work on,\u201d artist Robert Gill added. \u201cThis definitely isn’t a superhero book, and that’s exactly what I’m in the mood for right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Roman standard \u2013 the eagle borne at the front of each Roman legion \u2013 was more than just a symbol of the soldiers that carried it… It was a symbol of Rome itself, the ultimate embodiment of the empire’s power\u2026<\/p>\n

But now, in the mist-shrouded Germanic forest of Tottenwald, the unthinkable has happened: A rampaging barbarian horde has crushed three of Rome’s most highly skilled detachments in battle\u2026 and captured their mighty Roman eagles.<\/p>\n

His authority threatened by this all-too-public shame, the mad emperor Nero has dispatched Antonius Axia, the empire’s finest “detectioner” and hero of Britannia, and Achillia, the sword-wielding champion of the gladiatorial arena, to reclaim his stolen relics at any cost.<\/p>\n

But what began as a simple mission will soon become a terrifying journey into the dark heart of belief itself as the isolated woodlands of Rome’s enemies reveal unseen dimensions…and the true power of the legion’s lost eagles threatens to consume any who would pursue them\u2026<\/p>\n

On\u00a0July 25th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, prepare yourselves for a perilous journey into the barbarian age for an all-new, self-contained entry point into Valiant\u2019s most intrepid series, as master storytellers Peter Milligan and Robert Gill dive deep into BRITANNIA: LOST EAGLES OF ROME \u2013 featuring covers from\u00a0Cary Nord\u00a0<\/strong>(Conan the Barbarian<\/em>),\u00a0Brian Thies\u00a0<\/strong>(Star Wars: Legacy<\/em>), and\u00a0David Mack\u00a0<\/strong>(Kabuki<\/em>)!<\/p>\n
