At Coast-To-Coast Comic-Con, Valiant are dropping Aric onto a primitive alien world for X-O Manowar #1 – without any continuity needed.

We had decompressed comics. We once had compressed comics. Well, writer Matt Kindt has already written the first 13 scripts for X-O Manowar, in what they call "hypercompressed" storytelling.

They also want to talk his new series Rapture, their first fantasy event with Ninjak and Shadowman, four issues and a completely self-contained event.

And how Oscar-nominated Eric Heisserer moved from writing screenplays for Bloodshot and Harbinger, and Valiant turned him into one of their writers. And how his upcoming work is written in the same tone as his film Arrival.

Oh and Bloodshot has a baby. After the emphasis Valiant have given X-O, Bloodshot will be next.

And today's Ninjak Vs The Valiant Universe web series panel will have a lot more footage to show off…
