    Valiant comics just released a couple of teasers for their upcoming event UNITY. According to Valiant, there is a major announcement for this project coming very soon. For now, we have two images. One from artist JG Jones and the other from Clayton Crain.

    Here we have X-O Manowar floating above Ninjak, Livewire, The Eternal Warrior, and Harada. If you've been reading X-O MANOWAR, then you know there's a conflict between Eternal Warrior (Gilad) and X-O Manowar (Aric) because Aric is trying to claim a piece of Europe as his own kingdom for he and the Visigoth people.

    Harada and Aric battle it out! The line "to kill a king, he has created an army!" Will Aric have to take own the whole Valiant universe? Is it characters within the Valiant universe unifying to stop Aric? Valiant has been putting out nothing but non-stop awesomeness in their books, giving them the title "THE MUST-READ PUBLISHER OF 2013." Looks like they're closing out 2013 with a bang.

    This is set to debut in November. What do you guys think of the upcoming event? What's going to happen?

    @xwraith: if you want to see what Valiant can do with an event, check out Harbinger Wars that just wrapped up. It was a fantastic story.

    I'm very excited for Unity. It will be very interesting to see how it unfolds over the next couple months. Valiant has yet to disappoint me with their relaunch. I am pulling everything except Archer and Armstrong.

    Didn't they just finish Harbinger Wars? I thought they were different from the big two when it came to events, guess not....

    @ekrolo: Harbinger Wars was a crossover between two books and it was also the only "event" they'v done since the whole comic line started

    @cap10nate: I try to keep my comic budget under $30 a month, so I'm only pulling Manowar now. I also set some aside for the Ninjak ongoing that was announced.

    @xwraith: I ended up dropping most of my DC pull list in order to get the Valiant offerings. I haven't missed it at all. Harbinger is my favorite with X-O being a close second. Bloodshot and Shadowman are really good and entertaining as well.

    dang..I havent had the cash to pick up the Valiant books, but this looks like it should be excellent.

    But didn't they have a UNITY event during their run in the 90's any relation, or is this a updated take on that?

    In Marvel I'm down to just Uncanny X-men, Thunderbolts, and Scarlet Spider. I still buy way too many DC titles.

    Wow, finally some love for Valiant titles. i have been reading since day 1. Yes, there is another option other than the Big 2. Although I read select Marvel and DC titles I'm loving Valiant.......but. valiant has too much infighting between major characters (heroes). What they need to do and I hope your reading Valiant... is introduce some new villains. A hero is only as great as the bad guy he's up against. Every Batman needs a joker, every Wolverine needs a Sabertooth and so on. The Universe will become stagnant if no new characters are introduced. And don't start killing off characters ala Marvel/DC.

    This looks amazing! Seems it IS an event. Glad X-O is involved with this one. They've been teasing "UNiTY" for a while though for those who didn't know or don't read Valiant.

    If you're not yet reading Valiant you better get on board. Things are about to get crazy up in the Valiant Universe and you all are just plain missing out on great comics. Start with Harby Wars and X-O Manowar, that should give you a decent starting point. To those passing on valiant yet again: I pity you.

    Also, think how brilliant and relevant this is? X-O seems to be persecuted, maybe even allied against by all walks of life for trying to take back a land that was once his people's. Sound familiar?

    I do agree! At some point Valiant will have to come up with fresh names... for villains, for events, and for new heroes. Right now there's only Eternal Warrior (September launch) and Ninjak left from all the major original characters; keeping in mind Dark Horse owns the rights to Turok, Magnus/Robot Fighter, and Solar in the meantime.

    However when it comes to UNITY this event/crossover thing makes sense - it's the continuation of Aric's journey and logical response from Harbinger & Co. Here's a short plot teaser from a previous article on multiversitycomics.com

    ALL-NEW ARC, ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT!

    X-O Manowar VERSUS the Eternal Warrior!

    Aric of Dacia returns to Earth after the events of Planet Death with his mind set on reclaiming the ancestral lands of his people. The code of a fifth century Visigoth is about to clash with the militaries of the modern world, and the only one who may be able to convince Aric to stand down is someone from his past – Gilad Anni-Padda, the Eternal Warrior. Artist Lee Garbett (X-O Manowar: Enter Ninjak!) reteams with writer Robert Venditti for a brand-new arc that will set the stage for X-O Manowar’s next year in the Valiant Universe.

    UNITY will start in X-O Manowar #15 - "Road to Unity" by the way.

    Well they have introduced some good bad guys IMO, Harada & the Harbinger Foundation, Project Rising Spirit, Master Darque and the various groups that make up the Sect.
