Valiant

Another week where I purposely ignore Saga! What devilry is this? Surely answers must be forthcoming. This week I'll be reviewing X-Men #40, Hoax Hunters #6, and Archer and Armstrong #6. X-Men #40 sees Seth...

It's time for the last reviews section I'll be doing this year. I have to make it a little quicker than usual, too, because I've got to bob out to pick up some quality...

It’s getting tougher all the time, as Paul McCartney would’ve likely sung if the Beatles had reunited for a jaded comeback tour in the 1990s. All you want in life is for Stephanie Brown to...

While Shadowman #1 isn't due out for a couple weeks, I had an advance look at the comic.  And it's pretty good.  We ran a preview not quite two months back of the first few pages,...

And the transmedia streak continues.  Valiant has confirmed the Deadline| Hollywood report to me that a Shadowman film is indeed in pre-production. Deadline reports: Valiant Entertainment and The Mummy producer Sean Daniel are teaming up to turn the Valiant...

At the Future of Valiant panel, Valiant is continuing to build out their universe.  This isn't incredibly different from how the original Valiant universe sprung up.  Perhaps, this is at a slightly slower pace....

At the Diamond Retailer appreciation breakfast this morning, after being forced to surrender phones and become sequestered behind a blast shield door, attendees were treated to some new footage from IRON MAN 3...

By Todd Allen The comment section has been clamoring for new about what the revived Valiant is planning on doing with Quantum and Woody.  If you haven't experienced Q&W, it was a comic that ran at...

By Todd Allen Valiant's roll out continues.  If you're familiar with the original, you caught an Eternal Warrior reference in the first issues of Archer and Armstrong.  Sure enough, on Saturday's Valiant panel at the Baltimore...

Something that may have gotten lost in the shuffle of Comicon was the release of Bloodshot #1, the third title from Valiant's relaunch. Valiant went raiding Marvel again for the creative team: Duane Swierczynski (Iron Fist, Cable, and more recently Birds of Prey) is the writer, Manuel Garcia (probably best known for runs on Raven and Checkmate) is penciling with Arturo Lozzi, Stefano Gaudiano (all sorts of Marvel titles... plus X-O Manowar) is inking.

I've been handed a preview for Harbinger #3 by Joshua Dysart, Khari Evans and Lewis LaRosa, due out on August 15th. In this chapter, our hero finally lands at the Harbinger Foundation. As I've said before, and probably will be saying for the foreseeable future, this is a comic that does not flinch at embracing the dark side of super powers. It looks like the slow build towards a particularly twisted conflict of moral agendas is picking up a little momentum.

By Todd Allen That teaser from Tuesday was indeed Shadowman.  Looks like Valiant is doing a launch, not a spin-off as November will see Shadowman #1.  Writing is by Justin Jordan.  Art is by Patrick...
