This summer, Valiant is kicking its colossal, 18-part ARMOR HUNTERS crossover event into high gear with five wraparound Chromium covers in June and July!
Featuring art by an outstanding array of superstar talents – including Jorge Molina, Mico Suayan, Clayton Crain, Philip Tan, and Lewis LaRosa – each Chromium-wrapped Armor Hunters issue represents an all-new jump point for Valiant’s star-studded crossover epic.
Valiant will be offering qualifying retailers the chance to ‘unlock Chromium’ with five specially manufactured, limited edition Chromium covers, based on their orders of Armor Hunters #1, Unity #8, X-O Manowar #26 in June, Armor Hunters: Bloodshot #1, and Armor Hunters: Harbinger #1 in July. Non-chromium standard editions of all five titles will also be offered for sale.
‘Valiant introduced Chromium to comics and we won a slew of innovation awards for Joe Quesada’s beautiful Chromium cover to the original X-O Manowar #0,’ said Valiant Publisher Fred Pierce. ‘We’ve received countless requests to bring Chromium back since our return in 2012, but wanted to wait until we had a story that justified its return. Now, with Armor Hunters, we have that story. In the wake of the announcement of Valiant First and Rai #1, the timing couldn’t be better to launch our biggest crossover event yet with the armour-plated opening salvo it deserves.’
‘This is bigger and bolder than anything we’ve done before. With Armor Hunters, Robert Venditti and Doug Braithwaite are laying down what could quite possibly be the most ambitious, most high-stakes, most consequence-filled story in Valiant’s history.’ said Valiant CEO and Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. ‘We’re going to be equally bold with our marketing and sales, and the first of those initiatives is Chromium. It’s a story-centric enhancement that reaches right back to Valiant’s roots and we’re proud to be able to offer these five Armor Hunters Chromium Editions as on-the-shelf items for excited fans across the world,’
After unlocking each separate title, qualifying retailers may order as many Chromium editions of the corresponding title as they like. So contact your local retailer to pre-order your Armor Hunters Chromium Editions today – and make sure that you get the full, armour-plated experience of possibly the biggest Valiant event ever!
