graybook posted:I want the secret character to be Beta-Max, but they said "new character", so I'm now disappointed. I think from the interview it's safe to say the character is someone we saw a glimpse of in Book of Death in the flash forward sections.

It's not nearly the trash that is his Winter Soldier. It's actually fine, just incredibly inconsequential. Nothing in it really matters.

There's no Valiant books this week and that's a tragedy, but you can read a cool interview with the people in charge over at CBR: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/valiant-execs-are-on-their-own-path-wont-follow-marvel-dc

Asmus has said he has more planned but he was on Unity until recently and is now working on All New Inhumans for Marvel which is a great book.

bobkatt013 posted:Is Shadowman any good? The last storyline in Ninjak made me interested in the character, but is he almost a completely different character now? It seems that they have completely made him into a villain at this point. How is the Punk Mambo series? I think the first few by Justin Jordan are good, but the stuff after isn't very good. Punk Mambo sucks also it's only a one shot. But I kind of hate that character anyway.

Bleedingcool, I know I know, is saying that Valiant has signed up or extended 15 artists for exclusives ahead of C2E2. That list is: Doug Braithwaite, David Lafuente, Trevor Hairsine, Mico Suayan, Raul Allen, Brian Reber, Diego Bernard, David Baron, CAFU, Khari Evans, Robert Gill, Clayton Henry, Lewis LaRosa, Pere Perez, Juan Jose Ryp. Which is pretty much all of Valiant's main artists outside of Clay Mann, signed with DC, who I will miss on Ninjak.

DC made smart choices there, glad to see these guys like what they've built at Valiant though. Any word on what Van Lente is doing next? Dinesh said a while back he'd already handed in scripts for his next book but there's been no announcement yet.

I did see that they're finally get her and Archer together in A&A though.

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 |

Next is Harbinger Renegades by Rafer Roberts, who has been killing it on A&A!Madkal posted: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? Harbinger War is fantastic and needs to be read. There's no such thing as glut in Valiant crossovers.

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.

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.

Well agree to disagree. I like the art of his I've seen in the Valiant books. The only regular Valiant artist I kind of dislike is Khari Evans, the artist on the aforementioned Imperium.

That's from the Valiant 8-Bit Adventure digital comic where Unity uses an old video game program to train in order to take down X-O Manowar. It's pretty amazing.

Probably not a good jumping on point for the Valiant Universe as a whole, because it doesn't really have much to do with most of the Valiant books outside of Rai. But as a self contained event to a newcomer I guess it would be fine. But again it doesn't tie into most of the Valiant books because they're set in current day.

4001 AD Shadowman is the first Shadowman book (outside of the Ninjak arc) that I've really loved. I think this should just be the Shadowman going forward. I'm gonna be sad when 4001 AD ends and this version goes away.
