Discover the origins and secret early exploits of the fan favorite heroes of the Valiant Universe right here with four essential jumping-on points, designed to bring new readers up to speed and lay the foundation for the next year of Valiant’s monthly series!

Valiant’s all-new #0 initiative kicks off in February with Archer & Amrstrong: Archer: ARCHER #0 – revealing, at last, the untold story of young Obadiah Archer, where he came from, and just how can he do the incredible things that he does!

Also in February, the all-star creative team of Christos Gage, Joshua Dysart, and ChrisCross unleash Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps: H.A.R.D. Corps #0! Hey, remember the 90s? The most elite assets of Project Rising Spirit are teaming up for an early mission together — but, in the decade of dial-up, the technology is far from perfect and bugs are bound to pop up in the wetware…with disastrous results…

Then, coming in March, artist Tom Fowler returns to pull double duty with the world’s worst superhero team for Quantum and Woody: The Goat #0 – co-written by ongoing series writer James Asmus! Are heroes born or are they bred? Who – or what – spawned the powerhouse of animal husbandry known simply as Vincent Van Goat?

Also in March, original series creators Joshua Dysart and Khari Evans journey into the darkest corners of the Harbinger Foundation for Harbinger: Bleeding Monk #0. The Bleeding Monk, formerly Toyo Harada’s right hand, has been missing for over a year.

Preview: The Untold Final Chapter of Harbinger Wars – Declassified in Harbinger #17!

Posted on by

Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of Harbinger #17 by New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart and Valiant superstar Clayton Henry! Ten days ago, Peter Stanchek and the Renegades barely escaped the clutches of Toyo Harada in the epic final battle of the Harbinger Wars…or so they think. As reality unravels, Valiant’s teenage superteam is about to discover the true extent of the collateral damage from the summer’s blockbuster crossover event – and just what they sacrificed to make it out alive.

Meanwhile, an unforeseen threat to Toyo Harada’s empire lies dormant deep within the walls of Harada’s own fortified prison facility. Meet Monica Jim – aka Animalia – another survivor of the three-way conflagration that decimated the Vegas Strip and a fellow P.O.W. inside the Harbinger Foundation. Just how does she factor into the Renagades’ “Perfect Day”? And could this savagely dangerous child be their only hope of escape from a perfectly designed prison of the mind?

Preview: Heroes Go Out the H.A.R.D. Way in Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. CORPS #15

Posted on by

Valiant has released a preview of Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #15 from the all-star creative team of co-writers Christos Gage and Joshua Dysart and artist Emanuela Lupacchino! Project Rising Spirit has just activated a new crop of expendable suicide commandos…and they’re first field mission is a one-way ticket into the crosshairs of Toyo Harada!

Trapped in an enemy stronghold, Bloodshot has been broken – dismantled piece-by-piece, nanite-by-nanite by the Harbinger Foundation’s most disturbed minds. But when Bloodshot’s signal goes dark, who can the black ops military contractor known as Rising Spirit bring in to recover its most expensive soldier? Time to call in…H.A.R.D. Corps!

Post-corporate warfare gets a whole lot deadlier when Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #15 flies out the fire and into the Harbinger Foundation on October 16th! And don’t miss the Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #15 Valiant 8-Bit Level Two Variant by artist Matthew Waite, in stores the same day.

Valiant has released a preview of X-O Manowar #14 – the explosive final chapter of Planet Death from New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti and Eisner Award-winning artist Cary Nord! X-O Manowar has conquered. He has killed. But can he reign over Planet Death?

With a coalition army of alien freedom fighters at his back, X-O Manowar has brought the throneworld of his alien oppressors, the Vine, to the brink of collapse. And now, with their ultimate weapon at his command, the final battle for the Vine planet of Loam is about to begin.

As the Harbinger Wars barrel toward a sense-shattering climax, the moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived – Peter Stanchek and the Renegades versus Bloodshot!

Las Vegas is under siege, and the inexperienced supterteam known as the Renegades are all that stand between Bloodshot and the fulfillment of his mission. But as they engage the Valiant Universe’s most feared Harbinger hunter head-on, Peter Stanchek and his allies are about to discover that Bloodshot is a much more dangerous – and much more clever – foe than they ever could have anticipated. Plus: what is the eerie connection between a battle fought long ago in North Carolina’s Great Dismal Swamp and today’s fight for the Vegas Strip?

Preview: Bloodshot #12 Reaps Revenge on Harbinger Wars!

Posted on by

Valiant has released a preview of Bloodshot #12 – the next blood-stained chapter in Bloodshot’s one-man mission to the heart of the Harbinger Wars by writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Barry Kitson!

It’s payback time! After Dr. Emanuel Kuretich freed Bloodshot from Project Rising Spirit, he promised that the answers to Bloodshot’s identity would be found inside PRS’ secret Nevada facility. He lied. Instead, Bloodshot discovered two dozen super-powered psiot children – children that Kuretich then manipulated him into setting free. Now that the kids are out and have ignited the Harbinger Wars on the Vegas strip, Bloodshot is all that stands between them and the opposing forces of Toyo Harada and Peter Stanchek. But Bloodshot hasn’t forgotten about Kuretich. And he’s about to reap his revenge.

The series that Comic Vine calls “the best big action book on the shelves” fires off a crucial turning point in the Harbinger Wars on June 19th, only in Bloodshot #12 – also featuring a limited 8-Bit Variant by artist Matthew Waite!

Then, witness Bloodshot’s first, no-holds-barred battle against Peter Stanchek and the Renegades in Harbinger #13 – in stores the same day!

Doctor Mirage talks to the dead and, right now, they’re all saying the same thing – get out while you still can. As Master Darque readies to invade Shadowman’s city with a necromantic army powered by suffering itself, Jack is about to find himself with an unlikely supporter in the coming war against the Deadside – Baron Samedi, the undead vodoun deity that’s promised to secretly betray Darque’s cause. But can heroes and demons ever truly find common ground? And could a double-cross by either side doom New Orleans to the dead?

Now, as Mary-Maria sneaks her way inside Area 51 to claim a long-hidden prize, Archer & Armstrong are about to discover the forbidden history that binds America’s blackest black ops base to the time-lost lands of the Faraway – and wind up fighting their way through each of its tightly guarded mysteries, one punch at a time.
