Valiant Comics Are Back?

In the 1990s there was a comic publisher called Valiant that, like Image, focussed on Creator-Owned comics.

But while Image was created by good artists (and Rob Liefeld) who weren't necessarily good writers. Valiant was the opposite. It had very well written comics in a consist universe.

Because their universe operated in real time, they were super strict with shipping dates. They even acquired -and revamped- a few Gold Key comics characters.

But after a disastrous crossover with Image, Valiant collapsed and it's characters where bought out by Acclaim,

HOWEVER; I found an X-O Manowar comic in my local shop...dated 2008. I can't find ANY information on this, so are my favourite publisher back? Help me out.

They're under the name Valiant Entertainment now.

Valiant is freaking amazing right now.

Archer and Armstrong is by far one of the funniest books I've ever read.

Im partial to Quantum and Woody. :) Anyone exited for Divinity 2?

Btw,Im pretty sure its intentional,but does Analog Man remind anyone of Old Man Logan?

Well, just take a look at his name.

I meant just this story.Whole retired badass living in the desert,his family getting killed,his old friend recruiting him to save the world/roadtrip.Gangs like Punishers/Shadowmen. I know OML was based on Unforgiven,btw.

Deathmate? I hope its just a joke.

Well thats a shame. But I am excited for the final arc.

That was probably the greatest run in the last 10 years,hands down. Deathmate is a new Predator styled villain for Bloodshot.Crisis averted.

BUMP (or what ever it is called that revives topic).

For a while I heard some great things about Valiant, both the original and relaunch. I have heard of the comics back when I was a kid through Turok (who at the time I thought was a comic book adaption of the video game) and, don't hate me for this, Deathmate which introduce me to some of the characters . . . I didn't bought those comics, they were my uncle's who was pretty much a teen during the 90s while I was still a toddler. But other than that, that comic did introduce me to characters like Doctor Solar, Bloodshot, HARD Corps and Ninjak (who has the coolest premise ever).

Naturally I wanted to read all the comics they made but didn't find the time. Until now. Basically I went with the reboot comics since A) I want to be up to date with the stories and B) I found a reading order to these comics unlike the ones for the 90s. And here are my thoughts to what I just read:

• Harbinger #0 - 5: So basically its is Scanners but in comic book form? Sold. This is an awesome book!
• Bloodshot #1 - 4: So basically its Wolverine meets The Terminator meets Total Recall? Again sold.
• X-O Manowar #1 - 4: Okay, who gave Conan the Barbarian a space armor? I blame the aliens from V for screwing that up. Also, sold.
• X-O Manowar #5 - 8: And now ninja James Bond appear. I am already sold on this series, don't make me enjoy more of it.
• Eternal Warrior # 1 - 4: Cool concept of a low fantasy, but this one does not interest me. Especially compare to the last books which had space Conan the Barbarian take on ninja James Bond.
• Archer and Armstrong # 1 - 4: Currently reading this but for some reason I picture the characters as Rick and Morty; if Rick is a burly immortal with a "been there done that" attitude and Morty is a Christian child soldier with many skills.

All in all, this is now my favorite thing to read, and I hope to catch up with the current comics very soon.
