Bloodshot Salvation #3 – Lemire, LaRosa & Suayan Bring Down “Daddy” in November

Posted on by

Valiant has released a first look inside Bloodshot Salvation #3 – the next punishing chapter of the BLOCKBUSTER ONGOING SERIES from writer Jeff Lemire and extraordinary artists Lewis LaRosa and Mico Suayan! On November 15th, Ray Garrison – the machine-enhanced weapon of war codenamed Bloodshot – takes the next step down a bloodied road of violence, villains, and vengeance as he confronts a deranged criminal separatist with a dark connection to his new family’s tragic past…

Now: When Magic’s estranged family of sadistic cultists come to take her back home, Ray Garrison is forced to succumb to the rage within and protect his family against those who would do them harm. But as Magic’s bizarre relatives reveal their true intentions – including those of the demented leader called “Daddy” – the man once known as Bloodshot will quickly discover that the path to revenge is one filled with dire and deadly consequences…

Soon: Years from today – in a world gone wrong where Bloodshot long ago went M.I.A. – can Magic and Jessie navigate the agents of Omen that now pursue them across the heartland? And just when their darkest hour arrives, a familiar face is about to appear with a helping hand…and a message from beyond the grave!

Featuring covers by Kenneth Rocafort, Monika Palosz, Jay Anacleto, Greg Smallwood, and comics legend Neal Adams!

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT — WAR MOTHER RETURNS IN A RIVETING NEW SERIES! Out of the pages of 4001 A.D., the breakout hero of 41st century charges onward in an high-powered tale of tomorrow from New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG) and high-octane artist Stephen Segovia (NINJAK, Action Comics)!

Two millennia from today, Earth is not the hospitable home we once we knew. Ravaged by an endless onslaught of war, disaster, and time, the world is littered with desolate badlands, fortified kingdoms, and secretive enclaves where humanity still clings to life… Enclaves like The Grove – Earth’s last known repository of scientific knowledge and bioengineered prosperity. Now, under the leadership of the lone protector called WAR MOTHER and her sentient sniper rifle, the denizens of The Grove face a critical choice: remain where they are and die, or find a new land and flourish. Can War Mother lead her people out of isolation and reignite the fires of a dying planet? And even if she can locate the distant citadel she seeks, can she fight back the horrors and perverse monstrosities that lurk just beyond her doorstep?

In the footsteps of RAI and BOOK OF DEATH, raw power meets tribal warfare as Fred Van Lente & Stephen Segovia forge a modern myth of the near future through the fire-tempered frontier of 41st century Earth for Valiant’s next stunning science-fiction showdown!

 

Valiant Unveils a Road Map for Bloodshot Salvation’s First Year

Posted on by

Valiant has unveiled the complete creative roster for the fall’s most anticipated new series debut, beginning in Bloodshot Salvation #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of the new ongoing series from writer Jeff Lemire and explosive artists Lewis LaRosa and Mico Suayan!

Now, for the first time, Valiant can finally reveal the complete details behind the series’ revenge-fueled first year in the Valiant Universe and initial opening story arcs: “THE BOOK OF REVENGE,” “THE BOOK OF THE DEAD,” and, finally, “THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS”. Featuring a devastating cast of all-new antagonists – like Rampage, The Scarred Man, and the demented cultist simply known as Daddy – and must-read appearances from Ninjak, Shadowman, the Death-Defying Dr. Mirage, Punk Mambo, Bloodshot 4001 A.D. and more, the next chapter starts at a soul-shattering  crossroads of violence, villains, and vengeance that will forge the path of Bloodshot and his beloved daughter, Jessie, from the modern day, through the Deadside, and into the 41st century of the Valiant Universe.

Jeff Lemire joins a stunning roster of creative talents across the first 12 issues that will soon include Lewis LaRosa, Mico Suayan, Renato Guedes, and Doug Braithwaite:

But when Magic’s estranged family – a cruel and sadistic clan of homegrown criminals – re-emerge to lay claim to their lost daughter, Bloodshot will be pushed back to the brink of madness, mayhem, and warfare…

Soon: Eight years from today, Bloodshot’s daughter has inherited her father’s incredible abilities. Hunted by a high-tech kill squad called Omen, Jessie must hone her powers…and learn how to survive before the world is swallowed whole by the darkness that now pervades America…

His sacrifice will be her salvation.

But, to get there, they’ll have to battle back an endless legion of devils and demons…and where walks Bloodshot, slaughter is sure to follow…

Enter Bloodshot 4001 – a strange, gunslinging echo of Bloodshot’s mind, body and soul that is now more machine than man. But when our century’s Bloodshot finds himself delivered to the dawn of the 41st century with one last mission to fulfill, two Valiant legends will finally come face to face…just as the secret revelation that binds them together across the ages forever reshapes Bloodshot’s place at the center of the Valiant Universe!

Valiant Leads War Mother #1 to 4001 A.D. with Fred Van Lente & Stephen Segovia in August

Posted on by

Valiant has unveiled War Mother #1 (of 4) – the FIRST ISSUE of A RIVETING NEW SERIES launching the breakout hero of 4001 A.D. into a high-powered tale of tomorrow! First teased at #ValiantSummit2017 as a classified project, Valiant can now reveal that the war-torn protector of 41st century Earth will charge into her first, much-demanded limited series on August 23rd as writer Fred Van Lente and high-octane artist Stephen Segovia bring War Mother to bear with an all-new, self-contained entry point for the newest hero manning the frontline of the Valiant Universe’s far future!

Two millennia from today, Earth is not the hospitable home we once we knew. Ravaged by an endless onslaught of war, disaster, and time, the world is littered with desolate badlands, fortified kingdoms, and secretive enclaves where humanity still clings to life… Enclaves like The Grove – Earth’s last known repository of scientific knowledge and bioengineered prosperity. Now, under the leadership of the lone protector called War Mother and her sentient sniper rifle, the denizens of The Grove face a critical choice: remain where they are and die, or find a new land and flourish. Can War Mother lead her people out of isolation and reignite the fires of a dying planet? And even if she can locate the distant citadel she seeks, can she fight back the horrors and perverse monstrosities that lurk just beyond her doorstep?

After first appearing with a highly speculated-upon cameo in the pages of Book of Death #1 in 2015, War Mother rushed to the fore of the Valiant Universe with a history-making debut in the 4001 A.D.: War Mother #1 special – an integral chapter, helmed by Van Lente and blockbuster artist Tomas Giorello, at the heart of last summer’s crossover event. An instant fan favorite, the character’s landmark first appearance earned two sold-out printings and widespread critical accolades.

Featuring a high-caliber lineup of covers from astonishing artists David Mack, Clayton Crain, Kano, Jen Bartel, and Monika Palosz!
