Im not even a massive warhammer fan but this is a great milscifi coming on age type story. The artwork is brutal

This was a nice end to the Marneus Calgar's flashback arc that Kieron Gillen wrote. I'm reading this series because I'm a fan of artist Jacen Burrows, and the cover illuatration by James Stokoe is the cherry on this sundae.

This miniseries continues to amaze as the backstory of the most Ultra of all marines with appropriately ridiculous everything and tone and dialogue that manages to square that Dark Millennium circle.

Genuinely excited to see his actual aspirant training begin in the next issue.

"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.

Warhammer 40K in Comic Book Form

Good art, realistic dialogue. A well paced issue in part of a grander series.
This is a perfect introduction for those looking for a place to start their Warhammer 40K journey, if interested.
