Your favorite new sci-fi epic begins in the pages of X-O MANOWAR #1
Do you like Seven to Eternity and Old Man Logan? Congratulations, the book you didn’t realize you’ve been waiting for is hitting shelves this week from one of the most critically acclaimed publishers in all of comics. From the mad genius of Matt Kindt (Grass Kings, Dept. H, Rai) and featuring the stunning art of Tomas Giorello, comes a new sci-fi western war epic that will enthrall you.
This is a master class in character-driven storytelling and world building. You owe it to yourself to follow the bloody rise of Aric of Dacia, on a world far from Earth, where he will rise up the ranks in a war he doesn’t want to fight in but will escalate with a weapon he swore to never use again.
Aric of Dacia fought against the brutal Roman Empire and became a warrior prince. He and his people were captured by a cruel alien race, made their slaves for what they thought was close to three years. Aric led his people home by bonding with a weapon of mass destruction sacred to his captors: the X-O Manowar armor. When they arrived home, his people discovered themselves trapped in the present, refugees of a forgotten civilization. He grew into a hero for the planet Earth. That was then…
Far from Earth on a new and primitive word, Aric is living a quiet life as a farmer. He’s distanced himself from his violent past and the power of the X-O Manowar armor. But this new world he has exiled himself to has one thing he cannot escape from: War. Conscripted into an army, he will be forced to fight once more and he will give show this world war unlike any they’d imagined…by bonding once again with the armor that made him an unstoppable force. Follow his journey as he begins as the soldier, topples armies to become a general, “unites” warring civilizations to become their emperor, and ignites an interplanetary conflict.
