Valiant has announced the relaunch of the X-O Manowar series.

Comicbook.com originally broke news that Valiant Entertainment will begin a new series in 2017 with X-O Manowar #1. It will be written by Matt Kindt, with art from Tomas Giorella, Doug Braithwaite, Clayton Crain, Ryan Bodenheim, and Mico Suayan.

The first story arc is titled "Soldier" and see Aric of Dacia serve in an alien army and don the X-O Manowar armor. Chief Editor Warren Simmons said that:



"Matt Kindt is a genius-level creator and, with X-O MANOWAR, he’s tapping into the essential core of our most iconic character to deliver something more ambitious, more far-reaching, and more fantastic than anything Valiant has ever attempted before. This year marks X-O Manowar’s 25th anniversary, but, instead of falling back into nostalgia, we’re taking Aric into uncharted territory – with five of comics’ greatest artistic talents at the helm, no less. This is a premier team that has some truly stunning turns in store – and, when X-O Manowar emerges on the other side, he will be looking at a very different and much larger Valiant Universe.”



They are touting this as quite possibly the company's biggest book that they have ever published and issue #1 will be released on March 22, 2017. Check out the preview cover and art below.
