Valiant has just announced the first plot details to the upcoming crossover known as Book of Death. Earlier this week, the publisher ran some teasers from the event, but Valiant finally has the big reveals. Of course, with the nature of comic books being as they currently are, we can’t really talk about this crossover without spoiling the one previous.
THE VALIANT SPOILERS COMING 3….2…1…..
The (last) Geomancer was The Valiant, and she has the book of the future of the Valiant Universe. While the Eternal Warrior sought to protect her, the Book of Death is going to be hard to shelter for very long. There are a lot of teases for this crossover included in the short press email delivered from Valiant. Ninjak dead? A new person within the X-O Armor? The redemption of Toyo Harada? A fate beyond death for Bloodshot? These are the questions that are asked in the one-shot issues riffing on the ending for the upcoming series in the Summer months.
Whew! This is set to be a big four issue crossover written by Robert Venditti containing art from Robert Gill and Doug Braithwaite. The first issue ships in July. Take a look at the tie-in series for the event that are all one-shots teasing upcoming events.

So sad to see Valiant taking this approach. Armor Hunters was already a pain to read. That’s certainly not what I was expecting from them when i started reading their line of comics. It sounds like a Marvel/DC crossover press release.
