X-O Manowar #1
This volume kicks off the 2017 relaunch of X-O Manowar, collecting the first arc of the series. It follows Aric of Dacia as he wields the sentient X-O armor, now stranded on a strange alien world after the events of the previous series, and must adapt to survive in a hostile environment while grappling with the armor's true nature. Written by Matt Kindt with art by Tomas Giorello, this trade paperback sets the stage for a new chapter in the warrior's saga.
"Soldier Part One" launches the modern X-O Manowar series with a gripping tale of survival and sacrifice. Aric, a farmer on the war-torn planet Gorin, is conscripted into the brutal Azure Army, only to be given a near-impossible mission: infiltrate the Cadmium Emperor's Palace. Written by Matt Kindt and illustrated with striking detail by Tomás Giorello, the story unfolds with quiet tension and rising stakes, culminating in Aric summoning his legendary armor for one final, desperate stand. The cover by Lewis LaRosa captures the weight of that moment, a striking image of a man on the edge of destiny.
Aric of Urth, now living a quiet life on Planet Gorin, is pulled back into war when Azure Nation soldiers march through his village. Forced into the army as a disposable pawn, he endures brutal trials to reach the Cadmium Emperor’s Palace—earning the attention of an Unnamed Azure Nation General. Given a near-suicidal mission to infiltrate the palace, Aric makes a fateful choice: he calls upon his armor once more, not as a warrior, but as a man seeking a chance to return home.
Aric of Urth pushes deep into enemy territory, racing against time to disable the Cadmium’s fortress-like tower and its devastating force field generator. With allies like Clubb and Wynn at his side—and new faces like Bruto and Catt emerging in the chaos—Aric faces the relentless advance of the Azure and the Burnt, each step bringing him closer to a confrontation that could shift the tide of war.
