Hello, I want to start reading X-0 Manowar and apperantly there are more then one Series the only difference i can see in the title tho is the release year. There is obe from 1992, 2012, 2020 etc. Is it the same story but reprinted or are those different stories and you have to read em all?

Just wondering, what’s the best reading order in the lead up to resurgence #1, eternal Warrior resurgence one shot is an obvious pre read but there’s a gap between The Valiants #4 and Resurgence #1 with Gilad going from Kay to Tama…have I missed something in between? Thanks!

FYI, the digital edition of Britannia: The Great Fire of Rome from Alien is 75% off today for Black Friday at DriveThruComics!

Plus, almost the entire Valiant Comics back catalog is 30% off all weekend.

Just wondering, have there been any announcements for collected editions collecting the Road to Resurgence mini-series? I would love to be able to read those before jumping into the Valiant Beyond titles starting in March(which I am also super excited for).

Hi! I've just realised I've never read a Valiant comic book.
I've heard of Ninjak and X-O Manowar but beyond that I'm clueless.
Any recommendations for memorable runs with great visuals?
Thanks in advance, Folks!

I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that Valiant Comics is one of the most underrated publishers in comics.

They have the third largest character library second only to DC and Marvel. They have characters that are similar enough to existing popular characters, so they aren’t going so off the wall that they don’t appeal to readers. Yet, those characters still feel fresh and not like direct carbon copies. They have also created some really intriguing and unique characters with interesting power sets and dynamics that aren’t just copies of more popular comics.

Additionally, they have comics pedigree. Literally started from the jump with Jim Shooter and Don Perlin, and they’ve brought with writers and artists like Jeff Lemire, Peter Milligan, Tim Seeley, Doug Braithwaite, Matt Kindt, Fred Van Lente, and so much more! These creators may not be the most popular, but they have worked in comics for a long time and have worked on high level, popular books.

Don’t get me wrong. Valiant hasn’t always handled the business side of the industry well. They don’t have the cachet they used to. They don’t have the scale they used to. They’ve had to scale back and sell to Alien. On the creative side, some of their continuity has been messy and confusing. Some of their storylines and characters aren’t necessarily the coolest or most interesting. But they have the juice!

I think they’re in a great place with Resurgence. It’s gotten my buddies, who fell off Valiant years ago, to come back and revisit. They love it! Not to mention the Hero Universe Origins books that are putting together great runs that allow for people to hop on. They’re not perfect. They definitely need a second volume, but they’re collected well and in a great order mixing titles together to form a cohesive unit. Unity being the most notable mixing Unity and XO Manowar.

I believe Valiant has the juice to be popular on a wide scale. Many comics fans don’t even know anything about the comics or characters. Even collectors and people that actively read indies and smaller books!

I don’t know what the whole answer is, but I know I’m going to proselytize and post about Valiant and be VERY outspoken about my love for these characters and this world. I encourage all of you to do the same! I’m on BlueSky and TikTok as @zachscomixbox. Feel free to follow me and chat about Valiant. Our Unity won’t go unnoticed!

A trading card vending machine at a local supermarket had these, so I bought them! Good times. ☺️
