All of this seems good. I like the cover also.

Now...... will there be a Variant to the 2nd print?

MarrowMan, if you want to, go ahead and make your post here and I'll lock and put a pointer in the other thread.

Valiant is proud to announce that X-O Manowar #1 has sold out at the distributor level, rocketing through its initial print run of 45,000 copies. Due to demand, Valiant is going back to press on the first issue of the all-new Valiant Universe for the X-O Manowar #1 Second Printing Wraparound Variant – featuring a never-before-seen cover by rising star Arturo Lozzi!

“We’ve been telling the industry for months that Valiant would have everyone talking in 2012, but these figures have exceeded even our expectations,” said Publisher Fred Pierce. “We can’t thank the retail community enough for the massive support they’ve shown us, and this sellout speaks volumes about the amazing job our creators are doing with this series.”

From the creative team of New York Times bestselling author Robert Venditti (The Surrogates) and Eisner Award-winning artist Cary Nord (Conan), X-O Manowar #1 is the first title of the publisher’s summer 2012 relaunch and heralds a new beginning for one of Valiant’s all-time best-selling heroes. And the Summer of Valiant has only just begun! Fans and retailers take note – Harbinger #1 arrives on June 6, and will be followed by Bloodshot #1 on July 11, and Archer & Armstrong #1 on August 8.

“This is an outstanding performance for an independent publisher, especially with a debut title. We look forward to great things from Valiant in the months and years to come,” said Bill Schanes, VP of Purchasing for Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.

“The success of this book is due in no small part to Rob and Cary’s phenomenal work, and our staff deserves a big round of applause as well,” said Valiant Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “Warren, Fred, and the rest of the team spent months making sure Valiant’s return would make as big an impact as possible.”

“Valiant has never underestimated the resonance that its characters have with comics fans around the world,” added Valiant CEO Jason Kothari. “X-O Manowar #1 has already taken a lot of people by surprise, and, with Harbinger #1 and Bloodshot #1 just around the corner, this is truly going to be a summer of Valiant.”

Now’s the time to witness the epic beginning of Valiant’s return all over again! Jump onboard the summer’s hottest new series when the X-O Manowar #1 Second Printing Wraparound Variant arrives in stores everywhere on June 20th!

That was really posted at the same time. Interesting news. Should make a buzz.

Well we all called that one! Another cover

It is pretty awesome, though, so I will probably go get it.

And it should be noted that this is fantastic PR for Valiant and should promote further orders and overall sales, helping the book reach a greater audience. Kudos, VEI, on another victory!

Yes. I cursed VEI for yet another variant. Then emailed MOC about adding it to my order...

So I guess now we know that the print run for X-O #1 was 45,000. Now the question is how was that divided over the four covers (or do the two incentives even count in those numbers)?

I'm really glad they decided to go with a new cover.

The stores in my Los Angeles area still have plenty of copies. What is everyone else seeing out there? Not sure how a second printing is warranted but I'm not in charge!

none anywhere near me in central IL..........and a store I went to in Indy had none either.....

That's a sweet cover.

I think it's the best yet. Should have been the regular cover to the first printing, imo.

If that was the original cover it may have elimi ated some of the complaints about not seeing Aric in the armor.

First cover appearance of Gilad?

Was wondering that myself. Can't tell from the cover if he's there or not. Guy getting hit by the arrows sort of looks scarred.

Daniel Jackson · Post by **Daniel Jackson** » Mon May 21, 2012 5:16 pm

Great cover, I'll definitely be picking it up.

Will this most likely not be available from DCBS? Since it is coming next month.

Ugh.

My LCS still has a few copies of X-O 1.

HELP!

How can we GET this?
