The brand new Valiant Universe kicks off with a new series of X-O Manowar featuring Aric of Dacia as the title character with a brand new origin story.

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 an armored suit capable of incalculable destruction and become X-O Manowar! The Vine destroyed Aric's world. Now he will give them war.
