Superstar writer Steve Orlando (Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man 2099) and rising-star artist Guillermo Fajardo (Resurgence of the Valiant Universe) team up to bring the pillar of the Valiant Universe to new heights in Valiant Beyond: The X-O Manowar!
The mighty Aric of Dacia was abducted by aliens and forced to fight in endless battles to survive for over 2000 years. After bonding with a mystical suit of highly advanced armor, he has returned to a postapocalyptic Earth, where he traverses a deadly wasteland filled with mutated horrors in a search for honor. Along this journey, he’ll encounter deadly new threats, strange new allies, and the secrets hidden within his armor and soul.
Best known for Spider-Man 2099, Batman/The Shadow, Wonder Woman, and Scarlet Witch, Steve Orlando is a GLAAD-, Ringo-, and Eisner-nominated writer and Harvey Award–winning editor and localizer. His comics work has appeared under the DC, Marvel, Image, Aftershock, IDW, BOOM!, Valiant, Alien Books, and Ablaze banners—and more. As an editor, he is co-founder and executive editor of Gungnir Books. As a food writer, he’s written for Epicurious. Also outside of comics, he’s written for Cartoon Network’s Ben 10 and been featured in National Geographic magazine. In 2021, he teamed with AMC and Shudder’s the Boulet Brothers to take over Heavy Metal Magazine. In 2023, he launched Feeding Dangerously with award-winning chef and humanitarian José Andrés at TKO Studios.
