Ruled by the Fates. Manipulated by the Gods. Commanded by Caesar. In the year 65 A.D., one’s destiny was not his own. At the height of Nero’s reign, a veteran of Rome’s imperial war machine has been dispatched to the farthest reaches of the colonies to investigate unnatural happenings… In the remote outpost of Britannia, Antonius Axia – the First Detective – will become Rome’s only hope to reassert control over the empire’s most barbaric frontier…and keep the monsters that bridge the line between myth and mystery at bay…

On October 12th, the coming of Valiant’s latest prestige-format masterpiece continues here as the realms between darkness, desire, and destruction are revealed in the BRITANNIA #1 SECOND PRINTING – arriving in stores alongside BRITANNIA #2 (of 4)!
