4001 A.D.: X-O MANOWAR #1

(W) Robert Venditti (A) Clayton Henry (CA) Phil Jimenez

ROCKETING OUT OF THE PAGES OF 4001 A.D...the present and future of Valiant's #1 hero come together for an essential standalone chapter at the heart of the summer's blockbuster comics event!
How did the rise of Earth's most powerful hero lead to humanity's ultimate destruction? Just what was the War of the X-O Manowars...and how did its catastrophic fallout bring ruination and despair to a besieged planet? And why is the sacred extraterrestrial armor called Shanhara the one weapon Father fears more than any other?
The answers to the pivotal questions behind Valiant's planet-shaking summer event arrive here as New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (BOOK OF DEATH) and acclaimed artist Clayton Henry (IVAR, TIMEWALKER) blast two thousand years into the future of the Valiant Universe to reveal the never-before-told future history of New Japan's dominion over Earth...and the doomed role that the X-O Manowar armor was forever fated to play in the coming war for liberation!

A&A #3

(W) Rafer Roberts (A/CA) David LaFuente

Archer and Armstrong and Mary-Maria versus Bacchus - a dude who thinks he's the god of wine!
At last...Bacchus' diabolical plan stands revealed: get Archer and Armstrong drunk! Too bad one is an immortal with a liver of steel and the other is a bit of a lightweight. That can only mean one thing: Mary-Maria to the rescue! But can she and Armstrong put aside their differences in time to hold Archer's hair back? Or is he about to ruin the expensive interior of Armstrong's bottomless satchel?!

WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR #1

(W) Robert Venditti (A) Raul Allen (CA) David LaFuente

For five millennia, the Eternal Warrior has shaped history at the end of his sword. He's razed empires, toppled civilizations, and broken armies as an immortal soldier in service to the Earth.

But now, the Eternal Warrior has been torn from the world he once protected and finds himself stranded in a hostile alien landscape unlike any he's faced before. Separated from his earthly environs, can history's deadliest soldier survive a realm far older, far deadlier, and fare more ruinous than anything he's ever encountered?

Beyond Earth lies eternity... This November, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (BOOK OF DEATH, X-O MANOWAR) and visionary artist Raúl Allén (NINJAK, Hawkeye) forge a new legend for Valiant's master of war with an all-new ongoing series in...WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR #1!

ARMOR HUNTERS #1

(W) Robert Venditti (A) Doug Braithwaite

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 (Green Lantern, The Flash) 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 found finally their final 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 HARBINGER WARS, Valiant's biggest heroes launch into the summer's blockbuster 18-issue crossover event right here in ARMOR HUNTERS #1 - and then take the fight to the world's first full-scale cosmic threat with UNITY #8 and X-O MANOWAR #26 in June, and ARMOR HUNTERS: BLOODSHOT and ARMOR HUNTERS: HARBINGER in July!
