Valiant Returning to Press with Shadowman #1 and X-O Manowar #6

Shadowman and X-O Manowar are two big players in the fights against evil. The first just debuted in a number one issue, while the latter has hit the sixth issue. Both incarnations though have sold out at the distributor level and will return with second printings. Not only that, but the printings will include sketch variant covers by Patrick Zircher. All this happens on January 9.

Just as Shadowman #3 arrives in stores, it's the perfect chance to get caught up on why you should be reading the series in the first place. Meanwhile, Ninjak makes a big splash yet again, only in reprint form. They're both great issues, worthy of your attention.

Full press release below.
