Valiant celebrates Armor Hunters with motion trailer

Armor Hunters is kind of a big deal for Valiant Comics and their characters and is the subject of the publisher’s latest motion trailer.

Not much left to be said about this one. If you’re a Valiant fan, you don’t want to miss what the company has on tap for Armor Hunters, their first real, universe-wide mega-event. But just in case you haven’t been following our coverage (shame on you), here’s a recap of what’s about to come crashing into Valiant Comics’ version of planet Earth:

When Aric of Dacia returned to Earth with the stolen X-O Manowar armor of an alien race, he thought he finally found a weapon to guard the peace and kingdom he’d struggled so long to secure. But now, a relentless and surgical strike team from the farthest reaches of space – sworn to exterminate the armor and all like it – have found their final target. The ARMOR HUNTERS are coming. They will hunt. They will trap. They will kill. And they will rid the universe of the X-O Manowar’s incalculable destructive power…even if it means taking the Earth with it.

On June 11th, bend the knee…or take the head when Valiant brings the deadly legacy of the X-O Manowar armor down full bore on planet Earth, beginning in ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4)! Then, Valiant’s most formidable heroes launch the resistance against the ARMOR HUNTERS‘ alien incursion with new, standalone arcs beginning in UNITY #8 and X-O MANOWAR #26 in June; and ARMOR HUNTERS: BLOODSHOT #1 (of 3) and ARMOR HUNTERS: HARBINGER #1 (of 3) in July – each featuring one of five wraparound Chromium shelf covers by some of the biggest talents in comics today!
