X-O Manowar (2017)

From 2017 onward, Valiant Entertainment’s X-O Manowar series, written primarily by Matt Kindt with art by Tomás Giorello, Ryan Bodenheim, and Clayton Crain, follows Aric Dacia’s continued evolution as the bearer of a sentient alien armor. Over 52 issues, the run deepens the character’s mythos, exploring the cost of wielding godlike power in a world that fears him. A defining chapter for the franchise, it balances visceral action with introspective character work, cementing Aric’s place as a reluctant hero in Valiant’s cosmic landscape.
