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!
