Press Release

Valiant is proud to present the first look inside BOOK OF DEATH #3 (of 4) – the third can’t-miss chapter of Valiant’s cataclysmic summer event from New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (X-O MANOWAR) and blockbuster artists Robert Gill (ARMOR HUNTERS: HARBINGER) and Doug Braithwaite (IMPERIUM)!

On September 23rd, Valiant’s most sinister villain – the maleficent Master Darque – reemerges to destroy the Eternal Warrior…and reshape the future of the Valiant Universe in his own twisted image!

The terrible future chronicled in the Book of the Geomancer continues to reveal itself as an unexpected and untold player…Master Darque…emerges to make his bid for control of the Earth’s newest Geomancer! But does the reappearance of history’s most powerful necromancer mean an apocalyptic future has been avoided…or guaranteed? As the heroes of the Valiant Universe fall and nature itself turns on humanity, all that stands between the devastated planet and ultimate evil is the Earth’s undying Fist and Steel himself…Gilad Anni-Padda, the Eternal Warrior!

On September 23rd, Valiant superstars Robert Venditti, Robert Gill, and Doug Braithwaite force BOOK OF DEATH toward a century-shattering crossroads as Master Darque returns…and the Earth shudders in his wake…only in BOOK OF DEATH #3 (of 4)! Featuring covers by Cary Nord (X-O MANOWAR), Clayton Crain (RAI), Stephen Segovia (NINJAK), Pere Pérez (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG), and Paolo Rivera (THE VALIANT), the last stand of Valiant’s greatest heroes continues right here in the sold-out, smash-hit event that is taking fans and critics by storm:
