The voice of War will command you to buy his comic book! Actually I’m not sure what he’ll say but Valiant Comics is talking up a comic book breakthrough – the world’s first QR code augmented talking comic book cover. Preview posters for the X-O Manowar #1 QR Voice Variant are coming to comic book shops this Wednesday.
“We want fans worldwide to know that something special is happening in their local comic shop during the build-up to May 2nd and the launch of the new Valiant Universe,” said Valiant Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “Valiant’s QR Voice Variant is not only a new innovation in comics and a true incentive for retailers, but an enhanced and immersive experience for fans as well. By merging elements of print and digital, we’ve hopefully created something that fans will just have to see in person!”
X-O Manowar #1 by Robert Venditti and Cary Nord will re-tell the tale of the Visigoth warrior in the alien armor when Valiant relaunches May 2nd.
“From the beginning, it has been Valiant’s mission to get readers into their local comic shop and talking about what makes this such an exciting medium,” said Valiant CEO Jason Kothari. “A trailblazing effort like the QR Voice poster and accompanying limited edition cover to X-O Manowar #1 not only accomplishes that, but also brings a first-of-its-kind interactive experience to print.”
