X-O Manowar

When Valiant Entertainment relaunched its universe in 2012, X-O Manowar became its flagship title, chronicling the saga of a Visigoth warrior bonded to a sentient alien armor. Written primarily by Robert Venditti, with striking art from Cary Nord and Lee Garbett, the series spans thirteen issues of time-displaced adventure as its hero navigates both ancient loyalties and futuristic threats. It matters as the cornerstone of Valiant's modern revival, blending historical epic with cosmic sci-fi to redefine a classic character.
