About the series
Kieron Gillen and Manuel Garcia’s three-issue 2009–2010 Marvel miniseries puts the Olympian god of war under Norman Osborn’s command, exploring what loyalty means for a being of pure violence in the Dark Reign era. Ares, the most straightforwardly monstrous member of the team, gets a spotlight that digs into his brutal code and his uneasy place among schemers and killers. It’s a sharp, character-focused action story from a key writer of the period, giving a deeper look at a god trying to be a soldier.
