Armor Hunters #1 Starts Valiant's Crossover in June
Valiant knows something about June 11 that the rest of us don't: that Earth will be the greatest hunt of all. Now, that sounds very exciting and could make for a good time, but in reality, it likely means that things will get rather harrowing for the citizens of the planet. And Valiant's Armor Hunters #1 starts that saga, featuring the talents of Robert Venditti and Doug Braithwaite.
When Aric of Dacia returned to Earth with the stolen X-O Manowar armor of an alien race, he thought he finally found a weapon to guard the peace and kingdom he’d struggled so long to secure. But now, a relentless and surgical strike team from the farthest reaches of space – sworn to exterminate the armor and all like it – have found their final target. The ARMOR HUNTERS are coming. They will hunt. They will trap. They will kill. And they will rid the universe of the X-O Manowar’s incalculable destructive power…even if it means taking the Earth with it.
Armor Hunters #1 starts the madness. Then, Valiant's most formidable heroes launch the resistance against the alien incursion with new, standalone arcs beginning in Unity #8 and X-O Manowar #26 in June and Armor Hunters: Bloodshot #1 and Armor Hunters: Harbinger #1 in July, each featuring one of five wraparound Chromium shelf covers by some of the biggest talents in comics today. And don't forget the Armor Hunters FCBD 2014 Special on Msy 3 (which also happens to be Free Comic Book Day).
Full press release below.
