The most ambitious crossover event of 2014 begins in
ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4) – the FIRST ISSUE of an all-new, four-issue mini-series
by New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (X-O Manowar, Green
Lantern) and superstar artist Doug Braithwaite (Unity, Justice)!
When Aric of Dacia returned to Earth with the stolen X-O
Manowar armor of an alien race, he thought he finally found a weapon to guard
the peace and kingdom he’d struggled so long to secure. But now, a relentless and surgical strike
team from the farthest reaches of space – sworn to exterminate the armor and
all like it – have found their final target. The ARMOR HUNTERS are coming. They
will hunt. They will trap. They will kill. And they will rid the universe of
the X-O Manowar’s incalculable destructive power…even if it means taking the
Earth with it.
“2014 will be a year of all-new jumping-on points for
Valiant, and ARMOR HUNTERS #1 is the perfect place to start. Robert Venditti
and Doug Braithwaite are two of the finest storytellers in the medium. They’ve
shaped the Valiant Universe, and we couldn’t be happier to have them
architecting ARMOR HUNTERS,” said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons.
"X-O Manowar is about to find himself at the center
of a firestorm embroiling all of Valiant's most powerful heroes. Believe us
when we say that, in an era of events, the scale, scope and intensity of ARMOR
HUNTERS will be the biggest and most daring undertaking we’ve ever attempted,”
said Valiant CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani.
ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4) kicks off Valiant’s landmark 2014
crossover event in June. Then, ARMOR HUNTERS continues with two brand new story
arcs beginning in UNITY #8 by New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt
(Mind MGMT, Justice League of America) and rising star Diego Bernard (Eternal
Warrior); and X-O MANOWAR #26 by Venditti and Eisner Award-winning artist Cary
Nord (Conan). And look for even more Valiant heroes to join the fight against
Valiant’s first full-scale alien incursion as the summer continues. Further details
will follow in 2014.
Next summer, bend the knee…or take the head when Valiant
unleashes an all-new starting point for the year's most acclaimed comic book
universe, beginning in ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4) by superstar creators Robert
Venditti and Doug Braithwaite!
