X-O Manowar Comic (2017)

Published by Valiant in 2017, X-O Manowar is a bold sci-fi epic written by Matt Kindt with stunning art by Thomas Giorello. This critically acclaimed series redefines the legend of Aric of Dacia, a battle-hardened Visigoth warrior turned interstellar conqueror. Born under Roman oppression, Aric was forged in war and shaped by brutality. After being abducted by a brutal alien race and forced into slavery, he escaped by bonding with a powerful alien weapon—the X-O Manowar armor. Upon returning to Earth, Aric found himself lost in a modern world far removed from the time he knew. Now, on a distant alien world, Aric has chosen a peaceful life as a farmer, free from the burdens of war and armor. But peace is short-lived. Dragged into a brutal interplanetary conflict, he is forced to wield the armor once more—not as a soldier, but as a weapon of unstoppable power. From reluctant warrior to rising general, emperor, and finally Visigoth, Aric will carve a path through armies and empires. They wanted a weapon—they got a warlord. X-O Manowar (2017) is a must-read for fans of sci-fi action, military epics, and powerful character evolution, cementing its place as one of Valiant’s most iconic series.
