Main cover
Valiant’s recently announced Book of Death summer event (see "Valiant Announces Summer Event Series") will involve the death of several major characters, featured in the four-part Book of Death miniseries, as well as four one-shot comics.

Nord variant
"Book of Death is going to reveal glimpses of the future of the Valiant Universe and, with it, many of the monumental events and occurrences that our heroes will face," Valiant CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani said.  "Major characters will die, while others will be introduced for the very first time."

Crain variant
The last of the Geomancers and her protector, the Eternal Warrior, must face off against the entire Valiant Universe to stop the Dark Age that threatens to eclipse the world.  Since the Book of the Geomancer has recorded all events-past and future- the Geomancer already knows how everyone will die.

Kevic-Djurdjevic variant
The four-part Book of Death miniseries will be written by Robert Venditti (X-O Manowar, Green Lantern), with art by Robert Gill (Armor Hunters: Harbringer, Batgirl) and Doug Braithwaite (Armor Hunters).  Covers for issue #1 will be provided by Gill, Cary Nord, Clayton Crain, Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, Pere Perez, and Paolo Rivera.
