The giveaway will continue through the oversized, blockbuster issue #50 finale.
"X-O Manowar #50 will be, without a doubt, the single biggest milestone ever produced by Valiant," said Dinesh Shamdasani, Valiants CEO/COO. "Beginning with the incredible jam cover, this issue will stand on its own as both a tribute to the character's vital place in the Valiant Universe and the entirety of the years-long epic that Robert Venditti -- along with artists Cary Nord, Lee Garbett, Trevor Hairsine, Doug Braithwaite, Diego Bernard, Rafa Sandoval, Robert Gill, and Valiant's amazing editorial team -- forged into one of the greatest narrative feats of the modern era."

ABNETT EXCLUSIVE TO DC: DC Entertainment has reached an agreement with writer Dan Abnett to create comic book content solely for the company's DC and Vertigo imprints. Abnett will be the writer of Aquaman and Titans.
"Dan Abnett is the perfect fit for Aquaman and Titans," said DC co-publisher Jim Lee. "He skillfully balances great dialogue and high-octane action, making for great reads every time. DC is excited that he'll be giving fans more great stories in both books as we enter into our line wide Rebirth re-launch in June and beyond."
"I was delighted by Dan DiDio's invitation to sign exclusively with DC," Abnett said. "My recent work for DC, on projects like He-Man, Earth 2 and Titans Hunt have been both rewarding and enjoyable, and now with Aquaman's Rebirth in the mix, and the Titans as a new series, it seems like the ideal time to really focus on DC work and do my best to knock each and every issue out of the park. Not that we have baseball parks in the UK. We have cricket pitches. But the point stands, anyway..."
NEW PRINTING: DC Comics has announced a second printing for Future Quest #1. The new printing will feature a recolored version of the original cover by Evan "Doc" Shaner and will be in stores on June 22.
