Valiant Entertainment has released a preview of X-O Manowar #3, which hits stands this Wednesday. It’s written by Robert Venditti and Eisner-Award winning artist Cary Nord. From the press release:

It’s a pivotal turning point for the smash hit series of the summer when Aric of Dacia heads the call to arms and embraces his destiny as the unstoppable X-O Manowar this July 18th!

With the enormous power of the Manowar armor now in his possession, all that stands between Aric and freedom is a legion of alien soldiers. When he at last comes face to face with Commander Trill — the alien responsible for his capture — the armor reveals its potential in a new and electrifying way. Can Aric lead his band of fellow prisoners off the Vine colony ship and back to Earth, or will their revolt be put down? Who will live and who will die?

On July 18, the stars will run red when X-O Manowar is finally unleashed on the Valiant Universe! The epic conclusion to the action-packed origin story of the year starts here, only in X-O Manowar #3!
