X-O MANOWAR

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (ARMOR HUNTERS, The Flash) and superstar artists Diego Bernard (Red Lanterns), Rafa Sandoval (Ultimate Hawkeye), CAFU (RAI), and Clay Mann (NINJAK) unite for a devastating cosmic showdown right here in the next deluxe volume of the series Comic Book Resources calls "grandiose and epic."

The invasion is here - and X-O Manowar is the invader! From superstar creators Robert Venditti, Cary Nord and Trevor Hairsine, jump on board the one of the year's most ambitious series as X-O Manowar ignites an interstellar war and changes the landscape of the Valiant Universe forever!

The Armor Hunters are the most dangerous fi ghters in the galaxy - unparalleled in their abilities to catch and destroy their prey. Their mission has been long and unforgiving and featured the destruction of many X-O Manowar armors from across the civilized universe.

Since Aric of Dacia returned from the stars, terror and destruction have followed in his wake - and the nations of Earth have had enough. As the world rushes into a new arms race, X-O Manowar will find himself confronted by a calculating paramilitary force designed to duplicate - and outmatch - the destructive potential of his own armor.

Doomed by Dead Hand! In the far reaches of deep space, the ultimate fail-safe of an extinct alien race has finally counted down to zero...and the robot army called Dead Hand has been activated. The civilization that built them has fallen...and, now, to combat the doomsday threat that destroyed their world, Dead Hand will complete the mission that their creators could not.

X-O MANOWAR AND NINJAK GO DEEP UNDERCOVER FOR... "THE KILL LIST"!

WITNESS THE LAST STAND OF EARTH'S GREATEST CHAMPION IN "LONG LIVE THE KING"! They're here! The Torment - a world-devouring race older than history itself - has arrived on Earth. And now, all that stands between our existence and complete annihilation is Aric of Dacia, heir to the Visigoth throne and wielder of the X-O Manowar armor!

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (BOOK OF DEATH, Green Lantern) and Valiant-exclusive sensations Pere Pérez (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG) and Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS) lead off a centuries-spanning look at X-O Manowar's past, present... and future!

Join master storytellers Matt Kindt (Divinity) and Tomás Giorello (Bloodshot Reborn) right here for a stunning new beginning for Valiant's most enduring icon.

In the fires of victory, a soldier becomes... a general. With the hostile Cadmium army crushed beneath his force's boots, Aric of Dacia now commands an entire fleet into the final battle for the soul of an empire. But as a new dawn rises across this unrelenting alien world, what vicious new menace will come forth to greet it?

The ultimate turning point! A war has been won, a victory has been decided...and, now, an entire alien world kneels before the throne of their new leader: the unstoppable X-O MANOWAR!

Aric of Dacia's bone-crushing climb to the throne of an alien world earned him scores of allies...and a legion of scorned enemies

A battle-scarred mission from Aric of Dacia's youth...Before space... Before the armor... Return to the apex of the Visigoth conquest as a younger, brasher Aric and a sword-wielding grifter set off on a continent-spanning quest for fortune, glory, and power!

The Agents of G.A.T.E. vs. the Brothers of the Bomb! Beyond time, space, and reality, there lies the Unknown... and now it's coming here! When soldiers from a mysterious foreign realm arrive on Earth, it's up to the armored Visigoth known as X-O Manowar - newly returned to the planet and now the leader of his own elite G.A.T.E. unit - to deal with the intrusion.

The past catches up with Earth's Visigoth guardian! Aric of Dacia may have left Planet Gorin behind, but its people still remember the ruin they felt in his wake...and so do the bounty hunters who sought to end his barbaric reign! Now, they've arrived on our world to finish the job they started-and this time, they don't plan on taking X-O Manowar alive!

Save the day, destroy the world... Torn from the past and bonded with a living alien armor, will X-O Manowar become the hero the world needs now?
