Preview: Come on through to the Deadside with Valiant’s Incursion

Valiant is the king of the limited-series event. They tend to stay within 4-issues and are mostly self-contained. They are easy to follow, rich in lore, and don’t breed clumsy tie-ins. You could make a movie out of any one of them (especially Book of Death) and the result would still be a high-concept story […]

These Punk Mambo #1 covers show how well punk and voodoo go together

Valiant has a smart approach to introducing new series into its expanding line-up. Whether it be through established on-going series or big scale events, new character series tend to lift off from #0 issues or one-shots that test the waters to see if they catch on (as was the case with War Mother).
