Earth is the hunting ground.
X-O Manowar is the prey.
Valiant shares this preview of X-O Manowar #23 – the Prelude to Armor Hunters, a prologue to Valiant’s summer 2014 crossover event. Writer Robert Venditti and artist Diego Bernard lead the march toward X-O Manowar’s first confrontation with the galaxy’s most feared team of hunter-killers, the Armor Hunters on March 19th.
“For eons, one threat above all others has brought pain and strife down upon civilizations across the universe – the X-O Manowar armor. And now the Manowar has come to Earth. What will follow in its wake? Only the creature called Malgam knows the truth…and, in the wake of Unity, Aric of Dacia is about to be forced into a brutal confrontation with the deadly legacy behind the universe’s most powerful weapon.”
Then, the Valiant event begins this June in Armor Hunters #1 (of 4) by writer Robert Venditti and artist Doug Braithwaite. The crossover epic continues with two brand new story arcs beginning in Unity #8 and X-O Manowar #26. More Valiant heroes to join the fight against the first full-scale alien incursion of Earth.
