Xena Dynamite Comics series

Issue 1

The comic opens with a what-has-gone-before type of things. Half the Olympian gods are dead. Ares has no power and Aphrodite is missing. Gabrielle finds Xena, seemingly dead.

Then the story moves on to a town of starving people and Xena and Gabrielle arrive. The opening part seems to have been a vision on Gabrielle's part.

Xena and Gabrielle get food for the starving kids. Then the story moves into Xena's past where she and a guy get attacked by some Romans. Harpies come to their aid. (These are regular women, not the mythological ultra-ugly winged and taloned women.) Later back in present time Xena and Gabrielle get the kids to their parents.

The harpies appear again and surround Xena and Gabrielle, accusing Xena of being a Roman spy.

Issue 2

Xena and Gabrielle fight the harpies and find a former Amazon Queen. They still think Xena is working with Rome. The problem of Xena and Gabrielle being out of circulation for 25 years is brought up.

Gabrielle reveals that she has visions but is having trouble interpreting them. She agrees to actually physically fight the Romans.

Issue 3

Xena and Gabrielle fake their way into a gambling palace. There's a statue of Xena there. Xena is going after a Roman general. Ares shows up. The Romans have attacked a harpie camp and they have killed many, taken some prisoner.

Xena and the others find out where they are being taken and start off to the rescue.

(I think some of Xena's artwork facial-wise is not that great in this issue.)

Issue 4

The group goes to stop the ship with the harpie prisoners. The Romans lose and the harpies and the others escape although Xena is wounded. Later she and Gabrielle kiss. Gabrielle and Ares head for Rome itself, Gabrielle thinking she can convince Augustus Caesar to follow a less warlike path.

Issue 5.

Gabrielle and Areas reach Rome and talk to Octavius Caesar. Meanwhile Xena and the harpies head towards Rome. She lets him know that his own generals are burning villages they aren't suppose to be harming. Caesar is not amused.

Things don't go so well for Xena and the others.

Issue 6.

Xena and the others are forced to fight in the arena. Gabrielle manages to take a situation where Xena and all the others will die into one they will live, making it look like Caesar is merciful and thus shows the power of Rome. Xena and Gabrielle leave Rome peacefully
