With Free Comic Book Day 2014 just a week away, Valiant is proud to announce that 45 retailers nationwide have signed on to produce exclusive promotional covers for Valiant's biggest FCBD release ever – the FCBD 2014 ARMOR HUNTERS SPECIAL!

"Valiant has always been an ardent supporter of Free Comic Book Day, but this year is, by far, our biggest yet. We were absolutely blown away by the orders on both our FCBD titles. But we were even more surprised by the number of retail partners that took us up on our offer to promote the release of ARMOR HUNTERS at their individual stores with customized cover offerings," said Valiant Publisher Fred Pierce. "We know that readers who try just one Valiant comic often stick around for more – and Free Comic Book Day is the best time of all to introduce our characters to a new and eager audience."

Available in participating stores everywhere on May 3rd, 2014, Valiant's FCBD 2014 ARMOR HUNTERS SPECIAL is the perfect place to jump on the board the crossover event of the summer with a special, advance look inside June's ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (of 4) by superstar creators Robert Venditti (X-O Manowar, Green Lantern) and Doug Braithwaite (Unity, Justice). 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.

Plus: look for artwork and interviews from X-O MANOWAR, RAI, THE DELINQUENTS, THE DEATH-DEFYING DR. MIRAGE, and much more!
