Valiant keeps killing It!

To each their own but it's my favorite.

Actually, as an old school Valiant fan, XO was the book I was looking forward to the most, but now I think it's the one I enjoy the least. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it hasn't maintained like the other books.

On another note, someone mentioned Unity...is that definitely in the works? A&A 0 just showed the Anni-pada boys back in the day spending some time in the "Garden of the Sun" which seemed very much like the Lost Land. The first thing that popped into my head was "Unity"!!!

But how do you do Unity without Solar?

Unity is coming (in some form). It was teased in their FCBD issue.

That is the Lost Land, but they can't call it that anymore so its now called, "The Faraway." Lost Land is a Turok property.

They have said that this Unity is not like anything new or old VALIANT has done...so we will have to wait and see...

For those interested, theres a X-O Manowar Deluxe Statue in the works from Quanantine Studios based on the cover of XO #12 by .Mark Djurdjevic.

I am definitely loving the Valiant Universe so far. I picked up X-O Manowar from Comixology whenever they had a $0.99 sale for the first 11 issues and now it is a monthly pull for me. I just did the same last week with Harbinger. Now I am completely caught up with Harbinger and Harbinger Wars. I hope they do a sale of Bloodshot soon because I am interested in that one as well.

It is good to see that Valiant titles are staying pretty consistent. Here is the last six months from Diamond data. Harbinger Wars gave Harbinger and Bloodshot decent bumps in April which sadly didn't continue too much into May.

I think Valiant is deserving of it's own dedicated forum alongside Image instead of just being lumped in with all the other Independents.

EDIT: Sorry. Those numbers are formatted a lot nicer in the draft view than the posted view.
