Preview: Bart Sears Returns to Valiant in Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #18!

Posted on by

Valiant has released an advance preview of Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #18 – the FIRST ISSUE of “GET SOME,” an all-new story arc featuring the return of comics icon and legendary artist Bart Sears to the Valiant Universe! Co-written by Christos Gage and Joshua Dysart, start reading here as Valiant’s most relentless men of war go guns blazing into a helicopter-smashing, bicep-bursting melee in the heart of the Sahara Desert!

With a valuable oil pipeline in dire peril, Bloodshot and the expendable commandos of H.A.R.D. Corps are headed to Africa to bring down a network of terrorist saboteurs. But as Bloodshot digs into the multinational oil conglomerate he’s been brought in to protect, he’ll soon find himself confronted by the complex truth behind the terror – and face-to-face with an older, scrappier, more grizzled generation of superhuman soldier from the glory days of proxy wars and state-sponsored assassination.

Project Rising Spirit’s darkest secrets yet are about to come bubbling back to the surface when Gage, Dysart and Sears open up the throttle on “GET SOME” in Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #18 – in stores January 8th!

Posted on by

With more than two weeks to go until the first issue hits stores on November 13th, Unity #1 is already making waves and is shaping up to be one of the biggest launches of 2013. Valiant has announced that the issue will debut with initial orders of more than 68,500 copies, cementing its status as one of 2013’s highest selling new series debuts. With that announcement, Valiant has also decided to make the second and third issue 100% returnable for retailers who match or exceed 50% of their orders for Unity #1. As previously announced, Unity #1 will be limited to a first printing only and will not go back to press following the issue’s November 13th release.

To kill a king…he has created an army. The world’s most dangerous man, Toyo Harada, has been struck by the one thing he never thought possible – fear. Halfway across the globe, a new power threatens to topple modern civilization and, to preempt the cataclysm that is to come, Harada will unite the most unforgiving team the world has ever known – UNITY. Their mission: defeat the threat responsible for the destruction of MI-6, the decimation of an alien world, and the occupation of Eastern Europe… Unseat the warrior king armed with the universe’s most powerful weapon… Kill X-O Manowar!

Preview – A New Manowar Rises in X-O Manowar #10 – Prelude to Planet Death!

Posted on by

Valiant has released a preview of X-O Manowar #10 by Robert Venditti and Trevor Hairsine! Planet Death looms! A new X-O Manowar rises! And nothing can stop what’s coming. The battle-worn road toward the most ambitious X-O Manowar event ever kicks off right here in Prelude to Planet Death — Part 2 (of 2)!

With the Vine invasion fleet waiting in orbit, Aric of Dacia is forced into the one battle he never wanted, against the strongest, most horrifying opponent he’s ever faced. This adversary doesn’t want the X-O Manowar armor. It doesn’t want Earth. It only wants Aric — dead. The winner will hold the fate of everyone, human and Vine, in the palm of his hand. Because before this fight is over, the armor will reveal that it wields far more destructive potential than anyone could have possibly imagined.

Preview – X-O Manowar #11

Posted on by

Valiant has released an advance preview of Planet Death – Part 1 (of 4) in X-O Manowar #11  – the FIRST ISSUE of the most ambitious X-O Manowar storyline of all time! Written by author Robert Venditti and illustrated by artist Cary Nord, the invasion is finally here – and X-O Manowar is the invader!

Aric of Dacia, a 4th century Visigoth armed with the universe’s most powerful weapon, is all that stands between the Earth and all-out annihilation at the hands of the alien race that abducted him from his own time. Now, the day of Aric’s reckoning has finally come. As his Visigoth forefathers sacked Rome, Aric will take the battle directly to his oppressors on the Vine homeworld of Loam. He will decimate their armies, he will level their cities – and he will not stop until the whole of their empire is reduced to ash. This is PLANET DEATH!

The beginning of an all-new arc, X-O Manowar #11 features a painted standard cover by Clayton Crain, a Pullbox Exclusive Variant by Cary Nord, an incentive variant by Paolo Rivera, and a top secret wraparound variant by legendary X-O Manowar artist Bart Sears!
