About the X-O Manowar Deluxe Hardcover Volume 2

(W) Robert Venditti, Matt Kindt (A) Lee Garbett & Various (CA) Ladronn. Born into battle, Aric of Dacia, the fifth-century Visigoth now known as X-O Manowar, has never known peace. Abducted and enslaved by the savage alien empire known as The Vine, Aric finally escaped his captors after stealing their ultra-powerful X-O Manowar armor and returned to Earth...only to find that more than a thousand years had passed in his absence. Stranded in the modern day, the most primitive man on Earth now wields the most powerful weapon in existence as X-O Manowar... But when Aric decides to use to his newfound power to reclaim the ancestral homeland of his Visigoth forefathers the nationstate of Dacia, now in modern day Romania he will inadvertently set the world on a path to nuclear annihilation...one that can only be prevented by the elite super-team called Unity! And, together, Unity will unleash a world-shaking battle royale pitting the worlds most formidable heroes Toyo Hardaa, Ninjak, Eternal Warrior, and Livewire against the unstoppable might of X-O Manowar.
