Dead Hand – The Next X-O Manowar Event From Valiant

Published Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:00:00 -0600

Valiant has announced the new story direction for its flagship title, X-O Manowar. The new arc is called Dead Hand and its being labeled as a devastating cosmic showdown written by Robert Venditti and drawn by Diego Bernard.

In the far reaches of deep space, the ultimate fail-safe of an extinct alien race has finally counted down to zero…and the robot army called DEAD HAND has been activated. The civilization that built them has fallen…and, now, to combat the doomsday threat that destroyed their world, DEAD HAND will complete the mission that their creators could not. Soulless and brutal, this billion-strong legion is the phantom army of a dead world…and it will cleanse the universe by any means necessary. But what unthinkable menace were they created to destroy? And will DEAD HAND's slow march across the galaxy spell death for countless worlds?

Soon, Aric of Dacia will be forced to confront the secrets that have pushed him to the terrible turning point that is DEAD HAND…and battle a single-minded killing machine unlike any he has seen before! Outmatched and vastly outnumbered, how can Aric stop something unstoppable…something that knows no fear, only eradication?

The four-part Dead Hand event starts in X-O Manowar #34 and will ship with a Dead Hand Overlay Wrap Cover by Lewis Larosa. There will also be a variant cover by Jorge Molina.
