Valiant Comics is entering their third year of the new universe. What do they have in store for their readers in this new year? As you can see by the teaser image they released yesterday, Valiant First is the next thing… but what is it?
Our friends over at Newsarama.com interviewed Dinesh Shamdasani, Valiant CEO and Chief Creative Officer, and Warren Simmons, editor for Valiant about Valiant First and got some great answers. Bottom line is that Valiant will be publishing at least one new #1 issue each month, mostly from miniseries, but some will be new series as others end. The big news was that Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps would be ending as Rai #1 launches soon.
May 2014: Rai #1– Matt Kindt, Clayton Crain
June 2014: Armor Hunters #1– Robert Venditti, Doug Braithwaite
July 2014: Armor Hunters: Bloodshot #1– Joe Harris, Trevor Hairsine
Armor Hunters: Harbinger #1– Joshua Dysart, Robert Gill
August: The Delinquents #1– Fred Van Lente, James Asmus, Kano
September: The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage #1– Jen Van Meter, Roberto De La Torre
Some days I hit the net, and the first thing I see makes me think about just quitting comics again.
Comic book publisher lemmings. Dc – let’s reboot our universe! Top Cow – let’s reboot our universe! Marvel – let’s make it look like we rebooted our universe by printing as many #1s as possible! Valiant – let’s show that we’re printing as many #1’s as possible!
I’m a massive Valiant fan, I have everything in TPB format that has been released since the relaunch or on pre-order if it has been announced. Can’t wait for another interesting and enjoyable cross over from the guys.
