Valiant is kicking off their 25th Anniversary celebration in style, with a convention tour!

We’ve said multiple times on Only The Valiant that if you are anywhere near a convention that Valiant will be at, you should go. It is a blast to visit with the Valiant staff and creators.

I’ll be there at Wondercon, if you are there too, make sure you stop by!
