Description

One of 50 signed comics Team USA auctioned off with all of the proceeds going directly to Team USA. Valiant made a post on Face Book about these comics going on sale and I watched them sell like hot cakes. Once the auction finally said that there was less than 10 available I had to get one. When all the dust had settled it turned out that they had only had 50 copies signed by 16 members of Team USA including all 10 2014 Luge Team members:

Summer Britcher
Erin Hamlin
Kate Hansen
Aidan Kelly
Chris Mazdzer
Tucker West
Preston Griffall
Matt Mortensen
Christian Niccum
Jayson Terdiman
Emily Sweeney
Anthony Espinoza
Andrew Sherk
Jack Hyrns
Julia Clukey
Joe Motensen

Valiant's UNITY #1 Team USA Luge Variant – a special, benefit-edition variant cover for 2013's most anticipated comic book event, featuring many of the USA Luge team athletes who will represent the United States in competition this February in Sochi, Russia. A portion of the proceeds from each UNITY #1 Team USA Luge Variant sold will be donated directly to the USA Luge team and contribute to their ongoing fundraising goals.

As an official sponsor of USA Luge, Valiant designed the look of the USA Luge uniforms, with luge athletes appearing in-competition at events across the world in racing suits patterned after Valiant's flagship hero, X-O Manowar. Now, for the first time anywhere, this cutting-edge luge suit design – originally envisioned by artists Patrick Zircher and Khari Evans – will make its comic book debut in an all-new UNITY #1 cover image with artwork by rising star Diego Bernard. Featuring X-O Manowar surrounded by the real-life luge athletes he helped to inspire, the UNITY #1 Team USA Luge Variant will be the first time Valiant has produced a specially commissioned variant cover for fundraising purposes.

"With X-O Manowar taking center stage next month in UNITY #1 and the beginning of the 2014 Games just months away, the timing couldn't be better to celebrate the unprecedented partnership between Valiant and USA Luge," said Russell A. Brown, Valiant's President of Licensing, Consumer Products, and Ad Sales. "It has been an enormous pleasure working the team and their incredibly gifted athletes, and now we hope to assist them even further with this one-of-a-kind, special edition cover for our biggest release of the year."

"Valiant has truly captured the passion and vitality of our athletes with this cover," said Gordy Sheer, Director of Marketing and Sponsorship at USA Luge. "Look for the team to bring every ounce of the energy presented here to Sochi when the Games begin this coming February."
