And, possibly, a tie in issue or two. I think they said they will handlt the tie ins like the "Fall of..." tie ins during Book of Death.

When are they gonna announce that Bob Layton project?

Here's what's coming based on April solits and what we've heard so far about 4001 A.D.

1. Valiant FCBD edition (featuring 4001 A.D.)
2. Divinity #2 (of 4)
3. A&A #3
4. Ninjak #15
5. Bloodshot Reborn #13
6. Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #7
7. XO Manowar #47
8. Imperium #16
9. 4001 A.D. #1 (of 4)

Thoughts:
the current arc of XO ends with 46 so we could see at 4001 tie-in issue. Something like XO Manowar: 4001 #1 instead of the next installment of the ongoing.

As far as I'm aware there hasn't been confirmation of Rai (correct me if I'm wrong) returning so I've left that out.

Valiant have been publishing a small number of titles this year so far. I can't see them bucking that trend in May...hopefully I'm wrong and we see another title or two published as part of the 4001 event.

#1, I wouldn't include the FCBD edition as part of the regular publishing schedule.

#2, I believe in the interviews about 4001 AD it was confirmed that Rai would run concurrently with the event.

That would put them at 9 books, and its not out of the ordinary for them to publish 10 during an event. 4 one-shot 4001 tie-ins over 4 months would make sense, and you're right that one or more of them could take the place of one of those titles in those particular months. XO #47, EW #9, Bloodshot Reborn #14, Imperium #17 and Ninjak #18 will all likely mark new arcs in those titles, so a month hiatus for an event tie-in could work on any of those.
