The Book of the Geomancer foretells of a deadly future for the Valiant Universe…but what if the future holds hope for one powerful hero?
Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of BOOK OF DEATH: THE FALL OF X-O MANOWAR #1 – an explosive new chapter of the summer’s cataclysmic event from New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (BOOK OF DEATH, X-O MANOWAR) and acclaimed artist Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS)! This October, before BOOK OF DEATH unleashes an earth-shattering climax for the heroes of today, discover another vision of the far future with an all-new standalone one-shot chronicling the last stand of Valiant’s alien-armored Visigoth…and the inescapable destiny of a world forever changed by X-O Manowar’s journey through time and space!
After hundreds of years in exile on an alien planet, Aric of Dacia – aka the unstoppable X-O Manowar – has returned to an unfamiliar Earth, only to find a planet that doesn’t remember…or want him. Can X-O Manowar finally find happiness in the aftermath of the apocalypse? Plus: the ultimate fate of the X-O Manowar armor, Shanhara, revealed…and a new generation of Valiant heroes take flight in defense of radically transformed planet Earth!
