Clocking in at 48 pages for just $4.99, X-O MANOWAR #25 is THE place to jump on board one of the most acclaimed ongoing superhero series in comics today – and an essential introduction to the colossal stakes of ARMOR HUNTERS, Valiant’s blistering summer crossover event beginning in June’s ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4), and spinning into the pages of UNITY #8, X-O MANOWAR #26, ARMOR HUNTERS: BLOODSHOT #1 (of 3), and ARMOR HUNTERS: HARBINGER #1 (of 3)!
A relentless and surgical strike team from the farthest reaches of space – sworn to exterminate the X-O Manowar armor and all like it – have found finally their last target. They will hunt it. They will trap it. They will kill it. And, soon, the ARMOR HUNTERS will rid the universe of the X-O Manowar’s incalculable destructive power…even if it means taking the Earth with it.
This summer, Earth will be the greatest hunt of all…and the fight for survival begins on May 21st in X-O MANOWAR #25 – featuring spectacular shelf covers by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic and Bryan Hitch, and incentive variants by Arturo Lozzi, Sean Chen and Terry Dodson!
