X-O MANOWAR #0-49 (Robert Venditti / Cary Nord)

Comics VO Valiant
#1

En mai 2012, Valiant fait son grand retour sur la scène comics avec les séries X-O Manowar, Harbinger, Bloodshot et Acrher & Armstrong. Mais avec un passé aussi chargé on se demande encore si il y a une chance pour que l’éditeur impose vraiment son univers sur la durée ? Revu de parcours.

La série X-O Manowar a été confiée au scénariste Robert Vendetti (The Surrogates) et au dessinateur Cary Nord (Conan)

The Valiant Universe kicks off in this landmark, oversized first issue from New York Times-bestselling author Robert Venditti (The Surrogates, The Homeland Directive) and Eisner Award-winning artist Cary Nord (Conan)! Born into battle, Aric of Dacia – heir to the throne of the Visigoth people – has never known peace. After a brutal encounter with a mysterious enemy known as The Vine leaves him a prisoner on an alien world, the only hope Aric has of returning to his family and saving them from slavery is to seize a weapon of incalculable destruction and become X-O Manowar![/quote]

Alors attention, Solar, Turok et Magnus ne sont pas des créations de Shooter, ce sont des personnages de l’éditeur Gold Key (si je me souviens bien) qui avaient été intégrés à l’univers Valiant, mais dont le régime de droits était différent, c’est pourquoi Dark Horse a pu les récupérer.

J’ai changé en connaissance. Merci.

Ouep. Après c’est Lee Garbett et Gaudiano. Puis Trevor Hairsine avant le retour de Cary Nord.

Valiant vient de baisser les prix de ses TPB a 10$. Entre X-O Manowar, Archer & Armstrong et Harbinger, faut en profiter. Moi je conseil. Il y a à boire et à manger pour tout le monde.

With the Vine invasion fleet waiting in orbit, Aric of Dacia is forced into the one battle he never wanted, against the strongest, most horrifying opponent he’s ever faced. This adversary doesn’t want the X-O Manowar armor. It doesn’t want Earth. It only wants Aric — dead. The winner will hold the fate of everyone, human and Vine, in the palm of his hand. Because before this fight is over, the armor will reveal that it wields far more destructive potential than anyone could have possibly imagined.[/quote]

Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of X-O Manowar #12 from the critically acclaimed, blockbuster creative team of Robert Venditti and Cary Nord! On April 17th, the most ambitious X-O Manowar story ever kicks into overdrive as PLANET DEATH smashes into its second world-shaking chapter!
Aric of Dacia has taken his one-man war to the Vine’s homeworld, Loam, and is using their own X-O Manowar armor to wage it. Finding an ally in the unlikeliest of places, Aric is about to discover that his mission to reduce Loam to ash will come with the highest price imaginable. Past, present, and future are about to collide, and if Aric isn’t careful, he will be the common thread that undoes them all.

Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of X-O Manowar #13 by the best-selling creative team of Robert Venditti and Cary Nord! Reunited with the remnants of his people on the alien world of Loam, X-O Manowar is about to bring PLANET DEATH to its knees!
As Aric of Dacia grapples with the realization that the Vine aren’t the only race on the world he intends to conquer, will his surprise compatriots offer him refuge or rivalry? Meanwhile, the Vine’s leaders are about to launch their most devastating attack yet, one that will push the X-O Manowar armor to its limits and beyond.
The stakes are raised and the table is set for the epic battle from which no one — human or Vine — will emerge unchanged when the penultimate chapter of PLANET DEATH arrives in X-O Manowar #13, in stores May 15th![/quote]

Old soldiers, new enemies.
X-O Manowar and the Eternal Warrior. Once they were brothers-in-arms, comrades sworn to the same cause. But now they find themselves on opposing sides of a battle for the very fate of civilization itself. Aric of Dacia, and the immense power that he wields, have the potential to the plunge the world into a new era of war, and the only man who can broker a world peace also happens its to be its most fearsome warrior. But can Gilad settle this conflict with words rather than weapons? And does he know how? As the world watches, two of Valiant’s most fearsome heroes will meet once again – and the outcome of their latest clash will decide the fate of us all.
