This summer, Earth will be the greatest hunt of all when
VALIANT FIRST unleashes the first issue of 2014’s must-read crossover event –
ARMOR HUNTERS – from superstar creators Robert Venditti (X-O Manowar, Green
Lantern) and Doug Braithwaite (Unity)!
A relentless and surgical strike team from the farthest
reaches of space – sworn to exterminate the X-O Manowar armor and all like it –
have finally found their last target. 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.
In the tradition of the universe-shaking HARBINGER WARS,
Valiant’s biggest heroes begin the summer’s blockbuster 18-issue crossover
event right here in Armor Hunters #1 (of 4) – and then launch the resistance
against the world’s first full-scale cosmic threat with new arcs beginning in
Unity #8 and X-O Manowar #26 in June; and Armor Hunters: Bloodshot #1 (of 3)
and Armor Hunters: Harbinger #1 (of 3) beginning in July!

ARMOR HUNTERS unleashes an all-new starting point for the
world’s most wanted hero – X-O Manowar – right here with a brand new story arc
by Robert Venditti (Green Lantern, The Flash) and Diego Bernard (Eternal
Warrior)!
Abducted from his own time by a vicious alien race, the
courageous Visigoth warrior known as Aric of Dacia spent years in slavery among
the stars before escaping with his captors’ most feared weapon – the X-O
Manowar armor. Now, stranded in the modern day, the world’s most primitive man
also just happens to wield its most powerful weapon. But what is the X-O
Manowar armor? And who before Aric of Dacia dared to wield its incalculable power?
The ARMOR HUNTERS hold the key to the armor’s untold history and – one way or
another – they’ll crush anything that dares threaten their secret.

Long live the Eternal Emperor!
Two thousand years from today, the planet has been
transformed by science, technology…and war. The centuries have not been kind to
the Earth’s own undying warrior, but a battle that could change everything is
only just beginning for the Eternal Emperor and the tattered remnant of humanity
under his protection. Will this be a new dawn for the age of heroes – or its
death knell? And what uncanny confluence of science, myth, and magic has
rendered the world – and its own Eternal Warrior – into war-ravaged remnants of
their former selves?
Collecting ETERNAL WARRIOR #5-8, the Fist and Steel’s
battle continues right here as New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak
(Batman/Superman) and rising star Robert Gill (Batgirl) build a bridge to the
year 4001...and unearth a brand-new era for the heroes of the Valiant Universe.
