This is GLORY VOLUME 1: ONCE AND FUTURE DESTROYER TPB (2012) in NM condition.

FIRST PRINTING. 

Written by JOE KEATINGE. Art and Cover by ROSS CAMPBELL. 

After missing for almost a decade, GLORY's whereabouts are uncovered by a lone reporter, but the globe-spanning conspiracy keeping her hidden from humanity could make her return more dangerous than anyone ever anticipated! This first collection of a brand-new saga written by Eisner & Harvey award-winner JOE KEATINGE (HELL YEAH) and illustrated by acclaimed artist ROSS CAMPBELL (Wet Moon, Shadoweyes) reintroduces GLORY to a new century by revealing secrets from her past, journeying to the far-flung future and beginning a war unlike any we've seen before! 

This collection may be a volume one, but it actually continues right after issue 22. The first issue of this collection is issue 23. I thought that was pretty cool. The story takes into account the long absence of Glory from the comic's world. In fact it's kind of big plot point for the first issue: What the hell happened to Glory? In a world filled with reboots, and rehashes, and jumping on points, it was a breath of fresh air for someone to say "Yeah, the 90's happen, we all hated it, but it happened. Let's just deal with it and move on."

The storyline deals with Glory and the fact she isn't a person, but a weapon. A super effective weapon that could take out the whole world if aimed right. What we get out of it is different characters on different sides all wondering and worrying about the same thing: Should they just kill Glory to keep her from killing everyone, or can she be saved? It's a different kind of story then you’re used to when you realize that the main character of the book, usually the hero of the story, is actually the villain of the piece. 

The art in this book is great. I love how Glory is drawn with all her muscle and scars. She doesn't look like some sexy goddess running around in a pair of hot pants. She looks like a bad ass warrior ready to cut your head off if she has to. The creature designs are great. There is a point where Glory and her allies are fighting off an invading alien army and all the enemies have a unique look. Someone could spend a lot of time staring at those pages.
