Valiant Comics, since relaunching a few years ago, has undergone a lot of changes: from the initial, quite small, run, to the company that rivals all others in terms of reviews, Valiant looks a bit different in June 2016 than it did in June of 2012. But, throughout all the transitions, one thing has remained in tact: “X-O Manowar.” And, in September, even that goes away.
To get us to that point, Valiant is pushing the story forward with “Long Live the King,” the final arc in this iteration of “X-O.” We are thrilled to bring you an exclusive first look at the book, which drops on June 29th.
Written by Robert Venditti
Illustrated by Joe Bennett and Roberto de la TorreALL-NEW ARC! ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT! The march toward the greatest Valiant milestone of all time starts here as X-O Manowar begins “LONG LIVE THE KING”!
They are The Torment – and their name means death. Thought to be a legend by the extraterrestrial empire called the Vine, they have now become Earth’s violent reality. They have traveled for eons to reach us…in search of Aric of Dacia, the unstoppable X-O Manowar. How can Aric of Dacia defeat an omnipotent threat nearly as old as the universe itself? Will the X-O Manowar armor truly be our world’s salvation, just as the Vine’s myths foretold? Is this the beginning of the end for X-O Manowar…or the beginning of something bigger?
Thanks again to Valiant, and make sure to pick up the issue next Wednesday!
