Description
TRAVEL TO THE HEAVEN OF THE MIND! In this special chapter of the Valiant Beyond arc, Aric, the armored warrior known as X-O Manowar, faces the silent queen Shanhara as Typhon's field-vision attack tests their bond. Writer Steve Orlando pushes the series into a deep, introspective battle where some wars aren’t won with weapons but with inner resolve. Artist Diego Giribaldi and Tomas Aira render a nightmare-and-dream landscape that heightens the emotional stakes while delivering kinetic action. Cover artists Francesco Tomaselli and Nathan Birr give each variant its striking, otherworldly look. At 32 pages, this story amplifies the ongoing X-O Manowar mythos, anchoring it in themes of honor, memory, and the power of looking inside to find courage.
