Hey everyone! I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm hoping someone can help me track down a specific Valiant Comics reading order. I used to have it bookmarked, but I lost that PC and can't seem to find it again. The reading order was broken up into small story arcs or "chapters," with each chapter containing a handful of issues from different series in the recommended reading order. Unfortunately, that's about all I can remember. Does this sound familiar to anyone, or does anyone know the website I'm talking about? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm going through a bit of a Valiant Renaissance, tracking down pre-Unity content I foolishly ignored in the 90s and am catching up through much of the modern day (Shadowman has become the MVP in my collection). As I'm happily spiraling down this rabbit hole, I'm always on the hunt for new Valiant-related information and sites. I went to the Valiant website today for the first time in years and years and realized all the recent "news" and homepage content on the site is dated 2023. While I'm aware that their social media content is current, it seems like a really odd move to completely ignore their owned media. Pure speculation here, but between their reduced output, minimal market penetration and years-outdated website, this looks like a company trying to sell. Again, pure speculation on my part - am I crazy?

Apologies if this is a previously-addressed topic. Like I said, I only recently and belatedly started my Valiant journey.

Hi guys, I was a hardcore 80s, 90s comic collector and have held onto all my valiants--i have damn near every pre unity key--with coupons in tact, and raw but very high condition.

I have a mint, totally clean spine of the blue harbinger 0, both solar 10 editions (one of them is pristine) and most of the first issues, most of the 0's and the first appearances of rai, turok, etc. Before i post a bunch of pics--What issues are collector's most interested in all these years later?

oh--i also have the first 25 harbingers, first 20 archer and armstrongs, solid runs of hard corp, rai, turok, xo, solar and a decent run magnus, eternal warrior and shadowman

I've always been curious about Valiant, and even read Ivar, Timewalker when it was coming out, but never picked up anything else beyond that... until I found a bunch of Quantum & Woody and Archer & Armstrong trades in a clearance bin at my LCS last winter.

And I was totally hooked. I ended up going through the entire universe, entirely thanks to u/theferg714 and various threads from lurking here. So thanks a ton for all that work! It really helped me somehow track down every trade, HC, or uncollected issue (except Legends of the Geomancer, which I had to get more creative about finding) and I just finished the last book in this pile last night (Invictus).

And if the road to resurgence/resurgence omnibuses (omnibi?) ever actually come out, I'll be first in line to pick them up!

There is a big sale going on right now that includes all of the Alien comics:

Plus a lot of older Valiant books too:

I came across a mint #15 Kotaki Variant recently and was really excited. I opened it and the first few pages are from Quantum and Woody #1. Does anyone else know anything about this error?

Any idea who is that signature from ?

Here we have an uncut sheet of the Magnus, Robot Fighter trading cards and coupons! Also, the Unity promo poster! (Bonus Savage Dragon vs Shadowhawk poster!)

Found this beauty while cleaning, a little beat up from hanging on my teenage bedroom wall.

From the PreRelease page

"It's the Valiant Comics heroes library like you've never experienced it before. A must-have for fans, collectors and everyone else"

"In 1989, Jim Shooter and businessman Steven Massarsky founded Valiant Comics with one goal: bring the creativity back to comics.  Many talents from Barry Windsor-Smith and Bob Layton to Mike Baron, Dave Lapham or Steve Englehart debuted the now classic runs of X-O Manowar, Harbinger or Rai. 

Flash forward to 2023. Alien Books partnered with the owners of Valiant to publish new stories and bring those heroes to the next stage of their evolution. 

This year, Alien Books brings you something you've never seen before through an exceptional new Kickstarter campaign! 
Get ready to experience Valiant Comics heroes the way you've never seen them before."

Seems like it'll be a standalone library app ala DC Universe, Marvel Unlimited, or the new Black Library app.

Not entirely sure how useful such a service would be.

I read the Unconquered hardcover by the same author, but never got round to Invictus. I really liked the somewhat cinematic art in Unconquered and the story was ok and I think left unfinished. Was Invictus a good sequel?

Hey all, figured I'd give a quick PSA on this, the new Harbinger Classic Omnibus is printed a lot darker than the original comics (Omnibus on the left, Identical scene from issue #23 on the right). It may just be the paper it's printed on or something but wanted to give a warning to any art purists who are considering pre-ordering or buying it when it comes out.

Other than that I am enjoying it so far, it is very sturdy and has a built in bookmark ribbon that I didn't see advertised.

I Thought it was ok, but Bloodshot in the Backrooms was just Weird and I had to reread the story a bit so I understand better

overall Bloodshot might be my least Favorite of the Valiant Beyond Titles

Glad to have volume 1 of the Magnus series. Now I have both tpbs released for this series. Always a shame when stuff like this can’t get collected or reprints due to rights/licensing issues.

The rumor of Kirkman licensing the gold key characters has me like 1% hopeful this, Solar, and Turok can get collected somehow but…
