From East to West, the nation has been cleaved down the middle as Livewire\u2019s defensive attack on the U.S. power grid envelops America in darkness and sets the stage for the biggest clash of powers ever witnessed\u2026 On one side, Peter Stanchek\u2019s ragtag team of Renegades \u2013 alongside their newly activated army of untrained and wildly unstable psiots \u2013 ready themselves for an unsparing firefight with H.A.R.D. Corps and the agents of Omen. On the other, Ninjak and Bloodshot prepare to enter Livewire\u2019s domain inside blacked-out Los Angeles. But as the casualties pile up and the losses mount on both sides, none of them will be ready to confront the full fury of raw power personified as X-O Manowar makes his long-awaited return after a year of self-imposed exile among the stars\u2026and delivers a single concussive strike that will send shockwaves across the whole of the Valiant Universe!<\/p>\n
