Valiant, since its 2012 relaunch, has always been careful not to over-saturate the market. Books come and go, and you know that the books that are currently being published are of the utmost importance to the line. “X-O Manowar” has been the flagship book of the line, first under the pen of Robert Venditti and now, in relaunched form, from Matt Kindt. Kindt and a murderer’s row of artists have been telling vibrant, huge, stories featuring X-O, and in the upcoming seventh issue, Clayton Crain joins Kindt for an adventure to an alien world. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the issue, which hits stores on September 27th.
