About the release, DYNAMITE stated: “Xena fans expect a certain ‘sense of adventure’ when it comes to the Warrior Princess and her legendary journeys- so far, from the overwhelming response to the new series, it’s quite apparent that John Layman’s first story arc, Contest of Pantheons, provided that ‘sense’ perfectly! Now, with the second part of the Dark Xena storyline, John Layman continues to bring the Xena comic book series into regular Xena continuity by explaining how Gabrielle brought the her friend back from the dead and the consequences of such a actions- and it’s all done with the pulse-pounding tradition that has made Xena into one of the most appealing action heroines of all time! Once again illustrating the return of Xena’s seductive and treacherous side is the artistic talents Noah Salonga along with colorist Chris Garcia.”
