AN ALL-NEW EPIC BEGINS! Valiant\u2019s sold-out descent into the horrors of the ancient world returns with A BLOODSTAINED JUMPING-ON POINT from legendary comics master Peter Milligan (Detective Comics) and Harvey Award-nominated artist Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH) as Antonius Axia, history\u2019s first detective, launches into an otherworldly mystery of monsters, magic, and conspiracy at the boundaries of human understanding\u2026<\/strong><\/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\u2026 It was a symbol of Rome itself, the ultimate embodiment of the empire\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s finest \u201cdetectioner\u201d 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\u2019s enemies reveal unseen dimensions\u2026and the true power of the legion\u2019s lost eagles threatens to consume any who would pursue them\u2026<\/p>\n
