Aric of Dacia, a fifth century Visigoth armed with the universe’s most
powerful weapon, is all that stands between the Earth and all-out annihilation
at the hands of the alien race that abducted him from his own time. Stranded in
the modern day, X-O Manowar's battle against the Vine will take him into the
shadows with the lethal operative known as Ninjak — and launch a quest for
vengeance that will bring an alien empire to its knees. The Vine destroyed
Aric’s world. Now he will give them war!
From the epic origin to the battle for Planet Death, the definitive tale of
Valiant's flagship hero comes together in this prestige-sized collection by
New York Times bestselling writer Robert Venditti (Green Lantern,
The Surrogates) and comics visionaries Cary Nord (Conan), Lee
Garbett (Batman: RIP), and Trevor Hairsine (X-Men: Deadly
Genesis).
