Alien Books has announced Resurgence of the Valiant Universe, a special event kicking off in September. The event is set to dramatically alter the Valiant Universe beginning with the can’t-miss crossover comic book Resurgence of the Valiant Universe #1! Written by the team of co-writers Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad with art by Guillermo Fajardo, Lautaro Ftuli, Ezequiel Inverni, and Marina Leon, the 4-issue mini-series will follow iconic Valiant heroes including X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Eternal Warrior, Ninjak, Ivar, Rai, Livewire, Faith and more through a world they no longer recognize as the villainous Dr. Silk rewrites the rules of heroism, governance, and death itself.

Alien Books and Valiant Entertainment’s publishing partnership began in 2023 and saw a return of many iconic comic series to comic shops and digital platforms. The ‘Road to Resurgence’ banner has adorned titles including X-O Manowar Invictus and The Valiants as the groundwork for this game-changing crossover event was carefully planned and plotted by the villainous Dr. Silk. All of the planning and machinations come to a head in September as Silk’s vision for the future of humanity takes hold and unleashes a threat that will forever change the lives and destinies of the Valiant Universe’s heroes.

Dr. Silk, once an infamous villain, is now a beacon of hope! But his promise of utopia and to make humans immortal has divided the entire planet and set everyone at odds. How will our heroes react to this new world order and who will be left standing at the end?

Resurgence of the Valiant Universe #1 releases September 18 in comic shops nationwide, and will boast an assortment of covers by Guillermo Fajardo, Agustin Alessio, Juan José Ryp, and Mico Suayan.
