ARIC OF DACIA -- AT DEATH’S DOOR!?! The terror of the stars, Banelus End, has both Aric and Shanhara in his grasp and is closer to victory than ever before... but this god-killer has never met a Visigoth before! Can X-O Manowar overcome End’s brutal assault and prevent him from absorbing the Godforce? It’ll take every ounce of strength and even some newfound abilities of both Aric and Shanhara to achieve victory... but all victories come with a cost. Steve Orlando (Spider-Man 2099) and artist Diego Giribaldi (RESURGENCE: FINALE) take X-O Manowar to his limits in another stunning chapter in the Valiant Beyond saga!
