Pour conclure l’évènement Book of Death en octobre, le scénariste Robert Venditti racontera rien de moins que la fin de la série X-O Manowar à travers le numéro spécial Book of Death: The Fall of X-O Manowar. Au dessin, les lecteurs des séries Valiant retrouveront le prolifique Clayton Henry (Ivar, TimeWalker, Archer & Armstrong)
It’s a story I’ve had in mind for quite a long time, but you never know if you’re going to be allowed to tell it. That’s one of the great things about an ongoing series – whereas with a miniseries you plot it and then it’s done, but with an ongoing like « X-O » you can go back to it and you can steer further along the path – and maybe the character moves around in ways you didn’t expect before.[/quote]
