I know there's an actual Valiant Zombies coming later in the year but, for now, I've finally got ensemble zombie covers of the big three superhero universes.
FYI, there is a big sale over at DriveThruComics with something like 150 Valiant trades marked down: https://www.drivethrucomics.com/en/publisher/6712/valiant-comics?promo=1000254
I just wish we'd get a series of oneshots or miniseries to finish off old storylines. Even VH2 - give us a finisher Unity 2000!
I see Vol 13 of Robert Venditti's run includes some annuals, special tie ins. etc. Does his run technically "end" in vol 12? Thanks!
One of the great achievements of the original valiant! Barry Windsor-Smith brought the heat!
After Resurgence of Valiant Universe Finale, makes me think about the Valiant Universe that i made a chart that counts every existent Valiant Universe until now.
For now i count these ones. I know there's also Stalinverse but i don't count it because for what i remind, isn't an AU, it's a giant brainwashing made by Myshka to make everybody believe URSS won the cold war.
If there's another universe i should count, you can comment here.
Is this a reboot/Ultimate Universe or is it a continuation of the 2012 universe? Because the synopsis for X-O and Harbinger feel very ambiguous.
He trained under the Monk that gave Everyone else in his group powers and also his skills are super human, but could be explained by him achieving them himself. (Spoiler) In Death of Ninjak he lived to be 112 and had a psychic controlled arm, but NEVER in character descriptions is he given some kind of power other than 'peak-human' something or another. Would you describe Ninjak as having powers from the Monk training? Thoughts?
Like DC's Skartaris? or Edgar Rice Burroughs' Pellucidar?
I'm finally catching up with more recent Valiant. I read X-O Unconquered (incredible), then the Valiantine's Special right afterwards. In the Special, each story mentions a >!monument they're building to remember Aric!<. Is this referencing X-O Unconquered #1, where he >!almost dies stopping the "comet"!<? Or am I missing something that occurs between Unconquered and the Special? Any insights are appreciated!
Artist is Geoff Munn, he does incredible work.
I got my hands on Shadowman and the first two Turok games on sale on Xbox, and recently beat the first Shadowman game, including all bonuses (thanks to some walkthroughs to help on hard-to-find Cadeaux and secrets).
I read the Garth Ennis run of Shadowman before playing to get an understanding of the character (and because I'm a big Garth Ennis fan), and it helped when I played the game. I haven't read the Jamie Delano run yet, does it also tie into the game or get referenced?
And I haven't read anything on Turok, except his appearances in VH1 on Magnus and Unity. Anything in the game that comes directly from the comics?
