It has all led to this. Abducted from his time and
enslaved by an alien race known as the Vine, Visigoth warrior Aric of Dacia has
escaped into the modern day with the universe's most feared weapon – the
all-powerful X-O Manowar armor. Hounded by the Vine at every turn since his
return to Earth, X-O Manowar is about to face his most formidable foe yet – an
elite unit of X-O Commandos, sent to reclaim their weapon at any cost! But if
the Vine can't defeat the X-O Manowar armor, they'll find another human to wield
it…
Cities will be leveled. Vengeance will be wrought. And a
new X-O Manowar will rise – beginning in Prelude to Planet Death – Part 1 (of
2) this January in X-O Manowar #9 and concluding this February in X-O Manowar
#10!
Then, X-O Manowar takes the battle away from Earth and
directly to the doorstep of the Vine homeworld with Planet Death – Part 1 (of
4) in X-O Manowar #11 – featuring the triumphant return of Eisner Award-winning
artist Cary Nord to Valiant's signature hero.
The culmination of X-O Manowar’s first year in the
Valiant Universe is almost upon us. Don't miss the crucial first chapter when
Valiant begins the campaign to conquer Planet Death this January in X-O Manowar
#9 – featuring a Pullbox Exclusive Variant by Cary Nord and a variant cover by
Clayton Crain!
