Valiant debuts Ninjak Vs. The Valiant Universe Variants featuring live-action X-O Manowar and more

The Valiant universe is expanding. ComicBook.com exclusively reveal three Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe photo variant covers for the upcoming Valiant Comics releases that offer the first look at the live-action versions of X-0 Manowar, Archer, and Livewire.

X-O Manowar, played by Derek Theler (Baby Daddy), can be seen on the cover of Rapture #2 alongside Michael Rowe (Arrow) as Ninjak and Jason David Frank (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) as Bloodshot.

Alex Meglei debuts as Archer alongside his partner, Kevin Porter (Seeds of Arkham, Dodgeball) as Armstrong, on the cover of the one-shot Rai: The History of the Valiant Universe. Finally, Ciera Foster is the psiot Livewire on the cover of Divinity #0.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Dinesh Shamdasani, CEO and CCO at Valiant Entertainment, said, “Valiant is very different. It's character-centered. It's grounded. It's subversive. It's left of center. It's quirky,” during a visit to the set of Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe. “We wanted to include the characters that showcased to a new audience how different and exciting Valiant is and why it's something equal to Marvel and DC and so these are the characters, our biggest characters and our most exciting characters to showcase the Valiant tonality."

Later last year, the official teaser trailer for Ninjak Vs The Valiant Universe, Valiant Digital and Bat in the Sun’s new original series debuted.

The Rapture #2 and Rai: The History of the Valiant Universe covers will be available in June. Divinity #0 follows in August.
