History Of X-O Manowar

[@segastationx]

For a comic book character that not a lot of people know, this was a great intro to the character. I hope to see more of this. Now give me my history of Ninjak.

[@shuriironheart4522]

Sony got X0 !!!

[@gabbar51ngh]

Ninjak is amazing

[@camvahdati]

He’s a spy and ninja, your welcome

[@darthgiggity7948]

@@camvahdati It's "you're". You're welcome.

[@dogfacedsoldier327]

Other than X-O, my favorite Valiant books were Shadowman and Solar. Always thought they should have made a Bloodshot movie. Really love the Barry Windsor Smith and Bart Sears artwork.

4 years later. . .there’s a bloodshot movie

"too Hollywood and shallow"...if only people could see into the future back then, that some books are just pamphlets for the movies nowadays.😧

That's deep bro

[@livecatgrenades]

So your saying they were observing the truth then? Foreseeing what was to come?

[@jackychang9148]

@@livecatgrenades The other way round. That some comics today are made just to advertise the movies that have soul (not all of the movies). Of course, a lot of movies are still shameless, moneygrabbing advertisements for the comics.

never heard x-o before but it sounds pretty cool c:

[@OddlyDashing]

I met Dinesh at Supercon and We talked about how cool Old X-O was and he gave me a $10 Trade paper back of X-O for freen been reading ever since, it's Good

[@king_mega1670]

Me too

[@TorxyElboo]

I played game boy game iron man and xo manovar it was awesome back in the days

[@everetth-top4760]

This was an excellent episode. The format was quite enjoyable and I would love to see it used again. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@GLDn1]

XO was my favorite of the old Valiant books.

[@NexusBreaker]

"We got big video game content that I can't tell you about, we have 'Live' action content that I can't tell you about, and we've got movies!!!" The moment I heard those words, goosebumps just came rolling all over my body

[@kaiwilliams141]

Will you do future videos for ninjak, bloodshot, and harbinger? I want to read valiant but I dont know what each book offers completely.

[@OddlyDashing]

well Ninjak's an Espionage book with a bit of mystic, Harbinger's about a group of outcasts one of them's the near strongest Psychic on the planet, Bloodshot's about how everyone's out to get Bloodshot while he tries to find out who he is (Awesome Book)

[@lukasszalbot1636]

Makentime Williams good summary somehow my favourite is Archer and Armstrong this mismatched pair are funny. They just go on crazy adventures together.

[@sepsis67]

I really liked this format. The mixture of your commentary along with input from the actual creators was very cool. I would love to see this format used for a "History of Swamp Thing" episode.

[@hsatin20]

Stoked to see Valiant comics back in a proper way. Some of the best comics from the 90s

[@Riz23Riz]

Loved it! I've been a long time X-O Manowar fan since the 90's so this was awesome to me. Thanks Aris.

[@brycefarmer3902]

Can we do histories of Turok, Ninjak, and Magnus next! 😃

[@TheNickcone]

Magnus the Robot Fighter is awesome

[@superlukey3]

I need to track down issue 1 of the reboot now. This sounds AWESOME.

[@TriplettGang]

Comicstrian did a recap/reading of it

[@mzelster]

I followed x o back in the beginning. Loved when he teamed with Turok but the coolest storyline was when he was fighting the villain alloy. The art by Bart Sears was epic

[@siddharthsriram3173]

Thanks a lot Variant. I learned about a new Comic book character. Never heard of X-O Manowar until I saw this video. Thank you so much! By the way the History of style was awesome. If we could have more episodes in this style that'd be awesome!

[@Revanxbone]

Really good Video. Usually I don´t like these interviews, but this one flowed differently and Dinesh Shamdasani was really interesting.

[@benjamingonzalezjr9294]

That 2012 run by Robert Venditti and the team of artists, inkers, colorists, editors etc was a a classic! I bought the first trade in 2019, and i finally got around to reading it in 2022. I binged the series over a period of 2 months. Great series Thanks for the video! 😁

[@cpenner7086]

This gives me more motivation to develop my characters for my books that I want to eventually bring into comic books.

[@OldiePo]

Did you ever finish your characters for your comics??

[@kemocali6504]

Valiant -Comics- ENTERTAINMENT. Soooo does that mean we could possibly see a XO ManOwar movie?

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

If we're lucky.

[@kemocali6504]

Who would be the Director?

[@ijalloh9]

Valiant have Harbinger and Bloodshot in the works

[@kemocali6504]

😆Great News, thanks!

[@bobbyavitia]

Sweet

[@BarbsBasement]

I have to say that as a long time comic reader, Valiant is what got me really invested in comics again. Great writing, great art, totally 90's.

[@johnmason8583]

FYI, as I'm sure you all know "summer of George" is code for the new Spider-Man movie. Just a heads up to anyone intrested they are filming tonight 9/29 in Coney Island but the amusement

[@Kenshiro3rd]

I fricken LOVED the new style. WAAAAY more informative

[@Luis-hp6sl]

Aric of Dacia has become of the heroes that I've most admired, reading the Valiant universe as a whole, was one of my best decisions, great video, I'm waiting so much the take of Matt Kindt with X-O Manowar, It keep me a lot excited to know. I added the video to my favorites, excellent summary.

[@stevemardis5669]

I like the way you guys have always done the episodes but I thought the new way was pretty cool. Variant is one of my favorite KZbin show & I will watch either way. Keep up the great work Arris & crew.

[@benwilliams5837]

You guys are the best! Slowly making my way through the series now and I love it (and Valiant)!

[@MrRelic20]

I would love to see this as a series either animated or just live version. This story sounds amazing I know there's someone who can pulled this off.

[@markcraft]

Same here but you know there is a web series on batinthesun its called ninjak vs valiant universe live action series but I'm not gonna lie, I will love to see a live action movie or series a solo characters like shadowman, eternal warrior, archer and armstrong, x-o manowar, harbinger, doctor mirage, livewire and rai, those are the valiant characters by the way

[@mattchew6426]

Excellent video, folks!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@RenzoM2811]

One of the best Superhereos currently out!

[@larryhollingshead6743]

awesome production. great cam angles! always do it like that!

[@phillyblunt1763]

My personal favorite comic character and company, by far. Valiant, you rock! Any Punk Mambo & Shadowman plans? The Visitor (if using older characters) or PsiLprds, by Tony Bedard? Bedard would be an excellent addition to your writer pen IMO

[@j.r.milton1273]

Yo Arris, just wanted to say you are my favourite youtuber and keep up the great work, this channel is my go to source for anything comics.

[@pishposh1504]

I like it better how you usually do history of episodes. this seemed more like a giant plug for valiant comics overall rather than the history of a character.

[@rjirwin5771]

thanks to this channel i have been getting back into comics

[@rjirwin5771]

***** and i am reading some of the comics u talked about like xo manowar and bloodshot

[@stevemardis5669]

I liked the way this episode was done, this should be the first of several of its kind. Keep up the good work Arris & crew.

[@PerryTheOneArmLegend]

[@leonardojuan92]

Finally a History episode about a Superhero from Valiant comics. :D

[@lsevent]

Just convinced me to get volume 1, I read Valiant a bit in the 90s but I don't remembers much of it, collected comics mostly for art back then. The premise of XO sounds amazing.

This is pretty much like a documentary...pretty awesome

I'd love to see Valiant start making movies and shows. And maybe Dynamite while we're at it

@@mazadancoseben4818 for me its better where there isnt so much of a multiverse. Or stories where a character gets a new power only for it to be taken away etc

I actually got to meet jim shooter at Tampa bay Comic con and got issue 1 signed by him.... X-O Man o war is among one of my favorite heros in valiant universe outside of bloodshot! But you can't mess with Bloodshot!! he's in my top 6!
