Why read it?

1 author picked When Strikes the Warlord as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The next Avengers movie is a few years away and there’s no way of knowing when (or if) there will be another Justice League movie. So if you’re looking for some epic, superhero team action to hold you over until then, look no further than Van Allen Plexico’s Sentinels series.

From Percival's list on superheroes that aren’t comics.
