Warhammer 40,000: Marneus Calgar (2020-) #3 by Kieron Gillen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!”
Kieron Gillen continues the story of Marneus Calgar, or the man who took that name, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines and Lord of Ultramar…and…this is just great stuff.
The writing is perfect, as you’d expect from a man of Gillen’s prodigious talents, and the art is perfectly suited to Warhammer 40K larger than life, brutal and bloody universe.
Calgar and his Ultramarines are all that stand between the Imperium and the forces of Chaos, but as ever in Games Workshop’s twisted future world, the Imperium is every bit as warped and dark as the chaos gods that besiege it.
I love this. It’s just…cool. And the fifteen year old WH40K fan that’s buried deep inside me just can’t get enough of it.
