Probably the most ambitious revelation today was Valiant’s announcement and preview of what they’re calling a “wraparound all-star jam cover” for X-O Manowar #50, which will include fifty different renditions of the titular comic book hero as drawn by fifty different artists, including such well-known comic artists such as Neal Adams, Butch Guice, Bob Layton, Phil Jimenez.
“This cover represents more than a year’s worth of hard work on the part of Valiant’s editorial team and the extraordinary cast of artists you now see before you,” said Valiant Associate Director of Digital Media & Development Josh Johns. “We wanted to celebrate X-O MANOWAR #50 in the biggest way we could, and this cover is only the first surprise we have in store.”
