Exclusive Preview: Book of Death: Fall of X-O Manowar #1

Valiant Comics has supplied ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of Book of Death: The Fall of X-O Manowar #1, X-O's official tie-in tale to Valiant's Book of Death event.

Valiant's flagship character has always been defined by his past, but what could his future possibly hold? As the one-shot's title suggests, probably nothing good. But fortunately for Aric of Dacia, he'll at least have familiar company in the form of X-O Manowar series writer Robert Venditti. As the future X-O Manowar returns to Earth after several years away, it looks like he'll once again be a man out of time all over again...but in a far worse way.

You can check out the preview and official solicit text below.
