What happens when the X-O Manowar falls into the hands of a mad king? Well, you build an army to take him out, of course, and that’s exactly what’s happening in Valiant Comics’ Unity from writer Matt Kindt, one of the creators on our Top 10 Comics of 2013, and artist Doug Braithwaite. Issue #3 may not come out until next week, but we’ve got a nice, juicy exclusive preview of the issue to tide you over until Wednesday after next. This issue takes us inside one of Toyo Harada’s most powerful recruits, Amanda McKee, an armor-clad technopath with a troubled past.

Here’s the official description and solicitation info:

Enter: Livewire!

On an airtight team of stone-cold soldiers, Amanda McKee is the one variable in the equation that equals absolute kill. Now, as the last woman standing against the unstoppable force known as X-O Manowar, the Harbinger Foundation’s most seasoned technopath has just added one new item to her resume – newest bearer of the X-O Manowar armor and the finger behind the trigger of the universe’s most powerful weapon. Watch out world…this means trouble.
