X-O Manowar: Classic Omnibus

Collecting the earliest adventures of Valiant's Visigoth warrior Aric of Dacia, this 2014 omnibus gathers the foundational X-O Manowar stories by writer Bob Layton and artist Joe Quesada. The volume presents the origin and early battles of the reluctant hero bonded to a sentient alien armor, establishing the tone and scope of the Valiant Universe. A key entry point for readers, it showcases the creative team most associated with the character's 1990s revival.
