So I just started getting into Valiant. Read a bit of Bloodshot, XO, and Harbinger. So far so good. But is there one book in particular I should be reading over the others?

The only one to avoid is Shadowman, otherwise all of Valiant's books are really strong and it largely depends on your personal taste. Divinity and Dr. Mirage (the first one) are to my mind the best ones though, and both are largely self-contained 4-issue stories (Divinity crosses over with Unity, but you only need to know that they are the Avengers of Valiant). e: Bloodshot Reborn, Ninjak and Imperium are the best ongoings imo, but they all really benefit from having read Bloodshot, Unity and Harbingers respectively.

Yeah, I tried Shadowman and just couldn't do it. Ninjak all have to check out for sure. Looking at Archer and Armstrong too. So many to choose from. Not a complaint though. So far what I've read, with small exception, has been solid. Valiant is doing a good job world building.

It's a great funny book

If you really need to know what happens in Shadowman, listen to the album Tales from the Deadside by A Sound of Thunder, and read the lyrics. The best Shadowman books from that were Shadowman 0 and whichever followed that... I am think 10. They go over the background of Master Darque, who pops up all over the place.

Just finished the Harbinger Vol. 1 trade and I got to say I really really really liked it. At first I thought it was going to much in an X-Men direction but the ending really sold me on the title. So I figure all the Harbinger stuff takes place before Bloodshot Reborn. Is Valiant a very interconnected universe?

There are a couple of crossovers before bloodshot reborn. There is the Harbringer war which Bloodshot is involved with. Then there is armorr war which is awesome. Then their is the series Valiant which leads to Bloodshot reborn. Those are the official crossovers, but you have little ones like major characters being introduced in Archer and Armstrong & X-O Manowar, and the eventual creation of the Unity team. On another note I am thinking of getting a new avatar of Archer saying Son of a lady dg, but cant think of any text.

While I generally have been enjoying Imperium, a problem I have with the series is that it lacks any meaningful connection to the Valiant universe at large. Harada has literally taken over Somalia and is re-writing contemporary geopolitics, and nobody else from the Valiant universe seems to have noticed.

Harada has literally taken over Somalia and is re-writing contemporary geopolitics, and nobody else from the Valiant universe seems to have noticed. yeah i agree with this. imperium is great overall and is quite tight with some cool moments. i'm probably underselling that: i like imperium more than any other shared universe comic i can remember reading since wildstorm died however it feels weirdly abstracted given how tightly bound valiant has felt to date. i'm sure peter will be back. he's young and growing up; he went from being an rear end in a top hat to trying to stand up and fight and righting a couple of injustices but not really being able to find his way properly and now he's just convalescing (morally at this point, since he's well and truly physically healed by now). i have been wondering how predictive end of harbinger is meant to be; that shows harada winding up as world ruler (or at least ruler of a major part of the earth) for a long time.. it's also really really good.

YES! edit and quote: "Van Lente worked with Josh Dysart in developing the series, the other writer of course was primary on the Harbinger Wars story. There’s a mother, with a fetus that’s a psiot, a “superfetus who is running her mother. That’s the exciting new member of Generation Zero,” Van Lente said with a laugh."

Britannia is a period book about a Roman Centurion by Peter Milligan. It sounds awesome, but Peter Milligan is not really an inspiring choice. It's a four issue prestige format mini. EDIT: Bloodshot USA self contained event in October by Lemire. It's a team of Bloodshots from Bloodshot Island going to New York to save them from a nanite infection that has been released. Sounds amazing. Next up is Savage, by B. Clay Moore about a 16 year old dinosaur hunter who is not Turok. Lewis Larosa from the recent Analog Man arc on Bloodshot is the artist. So needless to say the art looks amazing. X-O fucked around with this message at 19:42 on May 17, 2016 |

I am nearly done volume 2 of the Harbinger trade and I see that Harbinger War and Harbinger volume three: Harbinger War are the next trades and I am wondering if I need both, or if I get one without the other I will be lost, or if they must be read concurrently (ie issue 1 followed by issue 1 followed by issue 2 followed by issue 2 etc). I generally find crossovers to be underwhelming because of the glut involved, but is Harbinger War worth it?

There's no such thing as glut in Valiant crossovers.

I believe there was a Bloodshot tie-in, as well (?), but I don't remember enjoying it very much.

Divinity III: Stalinverse by Matt Kindt in December. I cannot wait. Divinity and Divinity II have been among my favorite stuff in Valiant. The entire planet is re-made and features Communist versions of all the Valiant characters.

Valiant is brilliantly hitting the sweet spot between the Big Two's "here's a bunch of familiar characters with a twist/progression" and everyone else's "here're some sweet new books from talented creators" (your milligan may vary)

Variant Comics has a video up of footage from the Summit plus interviews. It's so fun watching Dinesh pitch books, whether live or on camera. You can tell he cares about the quality of the books from listening to the pace of his speech speed up as he describes a premise or how he covers all the different angles of a title in one long run-on sentence. If there's a cynical bone in his body, he mustn't let on until he's at home or something.

Space Fish posted:Variant Comics has a video up of footage from the Summit plus interviews. There's a picture of Dinesh when he was like 10 years old with a Valiant birthday cake. He's nothing if not genuine in his absolute love of the properties he's working on. And when you read about the process and how long it took him to actually get the company and the rights to the properties you'll understand that only someone that absolutely loves these characters would have bothered. It would make a hell of a documentary film just how he got the company.
