First Look At 4001 A.D. One-Shots For Bloodshot And X-O Manowar
Valiant has their big summer event, 4001 A.D. kicking off soon and while at Emerald City Comic Con yesterday the revealed first looks at two of the one-shots tied to the event. 4001 A.D.: X-O Manowar #1 by Robert Venditti and Clayton Henry and 4001 A.D.: Bloodshot #1 by Jeff Lemire and Doug Braithwaite.
On May 11th in 4001 A.D.: X-O MANOWAR #1 – a one-shot epic from New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (BOOK OF DEATH) and Valiant-exclusive superstar Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS)! How did the rise of Earth's most powerful hero lead to humanity's ultimate destruction? Just what was the War of the X-O Manowars…and how did its catastrophic fallout bring ruination and despair to a besieged planet? And why is the sacred extraterrestrial armor called Shanhara the one weapon Father fears more than any other? – featuring covers by CAFU (RAI), Phil Jimenez (Infinite Crisis), Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT), and Ryan Lee (Inhuman)!
Then, the fight for control of the 41st century continues on June 8th in 4001 A.D.: BLOODSHOT #1 – a high-octane one-shot blockbuster from New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire (BLOODSHOT REBORN) and Valiant-exclusive superstar Doug Braithwaite (ARMOR HUNTERS)! Centuries ago, Bloodshot was the man called Ray Garrison. Now, in the year 4001 A.D., Ray Garrison is no more…but the nanites that once thrived inside him endure still. With their master long since gone, the microscopic machines that once drove Bloodshot through every firefight, healed every wound, and calculated every outcome have one final directive left to execute…but what could it possibly be? And how will the forces of the future react when the infamous man-turned-machine called Bloodshot returns to fight another day? – featuring covers by Ryan Lee and CAFU (UNITY)!
