VALIANT'S BEST: JOE QUESADA
Very few creators had an impact on the last 30 years of comics like Joe Quesada. Founder of Event Comics (with Jimmy Palmiotti), he joins Marvel in 1998 to launch what would become one of the biggest relaunch of the Modern Age of comics: the Marvel Knights. This success led Joe to be appointed as Editor in Chief of Marvel Comics, a position he held for 14 years before transitioning to more work with the Marvel Studios side of the company. But before that, Joe Quesada worked for DC (Batman: Sword of Azrael) and… Valiant Comics! VALIANT’S BEST: JOE QUESADA celebrates the early Valiant Comics work of Joe Quesada from the 1990s. Before he became Marvel’s Editor In Chief, discover the iconic artwork from a legendary creator. Before becoming a defining force in the modern comics industry, Quesada brought his dynamic storytelling, cinematic action, and distinctive visual style to the Valiant Universe. This deluxe hardcover preserves a pivotal chapter in comics history.
This volume collects his groundbreaking work on X-O MANOWAR #0, NINJAK #1-3, and BLOODSHOT #0 cover artwork, presenting his early Valiant contributions in a premium hardcover edition for the first time.

Ok so yeah that's a pretty vague question, but i stopped reading pretty much all comics routinely about 10-15yrs ago. Adulting and raising kids kinda took precedence... Anyway even though i wasnt reading routinely i still tried to keep up on what was going on. The events, crossovers, new books and characters etc.. Anyway i recall reading a review for a valiant book and it was just being praised for how humorous it was and one of the best books on the stands..etc...
I had always wanted to read and see the praise but i cannot recall what it was. I don't think it was the obvious Q&W, i honestly wanna say it was something unexpected like Rai... but i don't recall for sure. Anyway i thought this might be the place where a historian or two could help point me in the direction.
Also as i contemplate getting back into reading with the kids all in college now, I've been leaning towards Valiant as they always seemed a little more down to earth and less cosmic spandex on every page. Just uncertain of the current direction of everything...
Well thank you in advance, hopefully it's not too terrible of an ask.
I really liked the « Guy’s a mess but wears a business suit » design of the 2013 run…but afterwards the way his suit and hair are designed looks soooo lame
I usually see sidegrades where people see downgrades chara-design change wise
This is, in my mind, THE definition of a downgrade
I feel like I could bully new Woodys into stealing his shoes
He looks like Ellen Degeneres
He looks like he’s into self-help online courses
He looks like he’d ask for a Chai Macha Almond Latte if you proposed him something to drink
He looks like the complete opposite of looking tuff 😭😭🥀

Hey guys, does anyone have one of these in good condition that they would be willing to sell? Specifically looking for the X-O (standard or comic con variant), but would be willing to bundle bloodshot and faith as well.
This does not include every Bloodshot series, just the ones in which Psiots or HARD Corps play a major role.
It also only includes Faith's first mini-series, because I felt that her "world" feels fairly separate from the rest of the Psiots. Also, I already made a Faith guide a while back.
I made an updated updated version with better color coordination because I can't help myself. https://imgur.com/tk2p009
Howdy. I'm a big Valiant fan and I love collaborative writing/roleplaying. Recently I looked on disboard and there's no servers for the Valiant Universe. If I started one, would any of y'all be interested? DM me if you would be.
Just finished reading shadowman today anyone know if there's any chance well get a volume 2 really enjoyed it was a cool character need to see a final showdown with darque
Hey. I am super confused on the continuity of Zero. I Have the volumes 1-4 as well as the Delano version. Is the Delano version a standalone thing? Could someone list out in sequence the order in which these volumes should be read?
As it says above; I'm fairly fresh to Valiant stuff. Steadily got into a scattering of characters & works due to that really good Shadowman Remaster, the really odd Bloodshot movie, and the Ninjak web-series (*movie?) plus whatever spin-off comic-runs I could read without needing to know the whole history.
So when I've looked into some history of this company that has somehow survived dying twice now, I think. Plus a lot of other things I'm not focusing on at the moment for this topic.
I just want to know what's going on with Alien books & Valiant comics; from what I could gather they're supposedly only handling publishing for the current expansion into the multiverse via the "Beyond" line of comics Valiant is doing. Yet I ran into a Tarzan comic using that "Beyond" title that is also from them-- so I'm confused on what's going on right now
I also know that some major archs happened in the mainline comics before this soft maybe reboot(*?) and-or just re-shuffling of its world.
I know it's not on the same level as when world came back proper after is was dormant for a decent while-- but when a Street Fight crossover happened with the new "Beyond" line of comics along with maybe Tarzan being part of it (which I'm honestly down for Valiant since "Savage" left me wanting); I just had to ask somewhere what I stumbled into since its sounds somewhat messy and confusing
It would seem that the past few days, the ValiantFans forum which I so dearly love has gone down again.
While I can't really do much about it, I figured I'd post it here in case the site's admin happens to be on this subreddit. Perhaps they're working on it.
