Unity is a great book. One of the best.

It has quickly reached the lofty heights as one of the better Valiant comics being published.

Still, something has been missing.

Until now. Now, we have Bloodshot.

Unity is complete. Bloodshot’s gonna take this book up to 11. Guaranteed.

ARMOR HUNTERS Brings BLOODSHOT into UNITY #8 – An All-New Arc by MATT KINDT and STEPHEN SEGOVIA Beginning in June!

Valiant’s all-star superteam is getting a new recruit! 

Valiant is proud to announce that Bloodshot will join X-O Manowar, Ninjak, the Eternal Warrior, and Livewire as the newest member of the Unity team in UNITY #8 – the FIRST ISSUE of an all-new, standalone story arc spinning directly out of the pages of ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4)!

From New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (Rai, Mind MGMT) and red-hot artist Stephen Segovia (Superior Carnage), jump on board here as the deadly nanite-enhanced commando known only as Bloodshot steps out of the pages of his solo series and into the ranks of Valiant’s best-selling superteam for a perilous new mission at the epicenter of the ARMOR HUNTERS‘ alien onslaught!

When an ultra-powerful threat from deep space begins brutalizing Earth, humanity’s first response is – who else? – the fearless team of heroes, soldiers, and short fuses called Unity! Now it’s down to Ninjak, Eternal Warrior and Livewire – plus the walking weapon of mass destruction called Bloodshot – to lead the assault on the ARMOR HUNTERS’ frontline…even if they die trying!

“The thing I love about the [ARMOR HUNTERS] crossover — and good lord, I never thought I’d say I liked a crossover — is that it’s organic. [ARMOR HUNTERS writer Robert Venditti] had this great idea for a big story — and then we were invited to join it if we thought it would be something interesting… So Bloodshot was sort of a natural fit for this arc,” writer Matt Kindt told IGN.com.

When Aric of Dacia returned to Earth with the stolen X-O Manowar armor of an alien race, he thought he finally found a weapon to guard the peace and kingdom he’d struggled so long to secure. But now, a relentless and surgical strike team from the farthest reaches of space – sworn to exterminate the armor and all like it – have found their final target. The ARMOR HUNTERS are coming. They will hunt. They will trap. They will kill. And they will rid the universe of the X-O Manowar’s incalculable destructive power…even if it means taking the Earth with it.

In the tradition of the universe-shaking HARBINGER WARS, Valiant’s biggest heroes begin the year’s blockbuster crossover event this June in ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4) – and then launch the resistance against the world’s first full-scale cosmic threat with new adventures beginning in UNITY #8, X-O MANOWAR #26, ARMOR HUNTERS: BLOODSHOT #1 (of 3), and ARMOR HUNTERS: HARBINGER #1 (of 3) – each featuring one of five wraparound Chromium covers by some of the biggest talents in comics today!

To find out more about what ARMOR HUNTERS holds for X-O Manowar, Bloodshot and Unity, join us this Saturday for the VALIANT COMICS: INSIDE VALIANT FIRST panel presentation – only at WonderCon Anaheim 2014!
