Shipping towards the end of September, X-O Manowar #19 starts the “Agent” story arc, where Aric takes charge of a G.A.T.E. unit to deal with an alien incursion…. one that might look familiar to readers of Eternity?

A preview?  Of course.  It follows the Official Details:

Valiant is proud to present your first look at the lettered and colored pages of X-O MANOWAR (2017) #19 – a brand-new story arc and new jumping-on point for Valiant’s armored barbarian prince, as well as the 75th overall issue of X-O MANOWAR  published since the launch of Valiant Entertainment in 2012!

On September 26th, Aric of Dacia once again takes on his role as Earth’s galactic defender, as Eisner-nominated writer Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT) and incomparable artist Juan José Ryp (BRITANNIA) bring the world of the groundbreaking DIVINITY and ETERNITY series to X-O Manowar’s world!

Beyond time, space, and reality, there lies the Unknown…and now it’s coming here! When soldiers from a mysterious foreign realm arrive on Earth, it’s up to the armored Visigoth known as X-O Manowar – newly returned to the planet and now the leader of his own elite G.A.T.E. unit – to deal with the intrusion. But are these otherworldly emissaries truly the threat they appear to be, or does a larger danger loom over the Valiant Universe still?

Eternity rises again when X-O MANOWAR #19 blasts into stores on September 26th with the start of “AGENT” – featuring covers by Kenneth Rocafort (Sideways), Alan Quah (Orphan Black), Mico Suayan (BLOODSHOT SALVATION), and Renato Guedes (SHADOWMAN)!
