OTV brings you the week in review! Here’s the best from around the web!
Monday:
The exciting news was from C2E2, where Valiant had their first convention appearance and panel.
- Comic Booked covered the panel, with lots of tasty nuggets:
The Vine, will play a role in the story of Bloodshot as well, and the first two pages of this title will have “lasting implications” for the next year of the Valiant Universe.

Harbinger 1 Preview Pg 5
Thursday:
- Pretty much every one posted up a six-page preview of Harbinger. We’ve seen these pages before, but now they are in their finished, lettered form. The interesting reveal in these pages is that Pete doesn’t seem to be able to control all those voices in his head, though it looks like some good drugs will help with that.
Friday:
Friday brought us news of a bunch of appearances:
- Valiant Comics is gonna be at the Calgary Expo on April 27-29, and X-O Manowar artist Cary Nord will be attending as well
- On Free Comic Book Day (May 5th), Harbinger writer Joshua Dysart will be at The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach to sign books
- Also on Free Comic Book Day, X-O Manowar writer Robert Venditti will be at Jim Hanley’s Universe in Manhattan (New York version, not the Cali beach version) to sign books
It’s been a fun week for Valiant!
