Deigo Bernard is killing it right now - sign him up exclusive if they haven't already. He is a star in the making.

I would guess some of the blocked out stuff are a few of the surviving renegades - they don't want to show Faith or Torque or whomever alive

Gunslinger in the lower left there, suggesting H.A.R.D. Corps joining the fight... who is the woman in the bottom right? Is that Kay McHenry? Dr. Mirage?

I thought they already showed Faith and Torque on the cover of ARMOR HUNTERS: HARBINGER #1 ?

Yep they are on that cover. But I think there are certain people that are holding out hope that that cover was a mistake and they will change it.

If faith and torque were on this cover though - it would cement it - no way, IMO, they would have them on multiple covers and it be a mistake.

Is this really going to be 20 different covers of 20 comics that go together into that big picture? Are there 20 parts in the Armor Hunters crossover? How big would that be framed? :o

World's largest comic cover a nice homage to the largest comic panel Valiant did with Solar.

Counting up all the issues shown in the checklist totals 18 comics for the whole crossover. There's a total of 5 different titles involved. Are all of these going to be variant covers I assume? They would have to do 4 variant covers for each of the 5 titles sometime durning the 4 month event (with the two mini's only having 3 months instead of 4 available). Totally plausible I'm thinking. I hope they aren't too rare of variants to get.

Is this confirmed, or a guess? Looking at the pick I see one each that could easily be focusing on X-O and Bloodshot. A few that could be for Unity (focusing on EW, Ninjak, and Livewire), but some of them would leave the hero on the back cover which would be unusual.

It's known that AH is 18 parts right? There are 18 covers shown here so it seems pretty straight forward.

Umm... isn't there 20 covers in that 4 x 5 grid?

**Edit** - Sorry, I was counting the upper left and right panels thinking something else would be there that just wasn't done yet.

looks like 20 to me too

so 10 wrap around covers?

The top left and top right are pretty much blank space .. so i doubt that would be the main cover for an issue - so probably 10 wrap around :?

No, there are 20 grid spaces but 2 of them are blank.
Clicking on the above link also reveals this-

Valiant is proud to announce the ARMOR HUNTERS 18-PART MEGA-COVER – a limited edition, one-of-a-kind interlocking cover divided across all 18 issues of ARMOR HUNTERS, this summer’s hotly anticipated crossover event featuring X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, the Unity team, and many more of Valiant’s most formidable heroes.

Oh, I see VEI is saying it's only 18 parts. I guess they aren't doing the upper left and upper right corners as covers then. YAH! I can get them from DCBS!!! At least the cost will be spread out over 4 months. All total, it's 4 feet tall by 2 and 1/2 feet wide! Man I want to custom frame that whole thing!

The upper left and upper right should be blank-cover variants. That way you could commision Diego Bernard to include Shadowman and Archer & Armstrong (or whomever else you prefer) :D

Sort by price low to high, and the Valiant Kindle Worlds stories will pop to the top. :)

Also...quick guesses as to which books these covers belong to based on who is featured:

AH (4): The 4 Armor Hunters
Unity (4): Ninjak, EW, Livewire
XO (4): XO, Malgam, Capshaw
AH: Bloodshot (3): Bloodshot, Major Palmer
AH: Harbinger: Animalia

That would leave 1 "Top Secret" cover each for Unity, XO and Bloodshot and 2 for Harbinger.

I'm wondering about how that's gonna work. I've already placed my order with DCBS for June's stuff including the Armor Hunters #1, X-O #26, and Unity #8 (and my ability to edit that order is closed already). I just went back to double check and there's no sign yet of any of these Mega covers in the VEI issues they have listed so far. It must be something that will be available to order starting with the July issues after the first of May rolls around on their site.
