With Free Comic Book Day 2014 this upcoming weekend, Valiant is proud to announce that 45 retailers nationwide have signed on to produce exclusive promotional covers for Valiant’s biggest FCBD release ever – the FCBD 2014 Armor Hunters Special!

Available in participating stores everywhere on May 3rd, 2014, Valiant’s FCBD 2014 Armor Hunters Special is the perfect place to jump on the board the crossover event of the summer with a special, advance look inside June’s Armor Hunters #1 (of 4) by creators Robert Venditti and Doug Braithwaite. 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.

Plus: look for artwork and interviews from X-O Manowar, RAI, The Delinquents, The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage, and much more! Learn everything you need about  Armor Hunters and the rest of the VALIANT FIRST publishing initiative right here on Free Comic Book Day inside the FCBD 2014 ARMOR HUNTERS SPECIAL!

Also arriving on Free Comic Book Day, don’t miss the the FCBD 2014 Valiant Universe Handbook – a first-of-its-kind handbook release detailing the untold origins and secrets of Valiant’s heroes and villains, all in one place! Everything you need to know about the Valiant Universe in 2014 and beyond can be found right here in the first official Valiant Handbook release…ever! Featuring artwork from a “murderer’s row” of comic’s brightest talents – Doug Braithwaite, Clayton Crain, Clayton Henry, Bryan Hitch, Esad Ribic, and many, many more!
