    THE MOST PRIMITIVE MAN, THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON.

    Abducted from his own time by the predatory Spider Aliens and displaced to the present day, Aric of Dacia will make war on his one-time captors and any who stand with them. Armed with a sentient suit of battle armor and savagery born in an age of war, he will become the hero this new age demands. Tyrants from beyond time and space, superpowered corporate raiders, and corrupt government power brokers... all will quake in fear where X-O Manowar dares to tread.
