Valiant Press Release: Free Comic Book Day Goodness

Normally, Free Comic Book Day comes in early May. It is a busy, even frantic affair. Lots of people standing in line, waiting for shops to open, and then rushing inside to get the pick of the FCBD specials. The year, May was more quiet and sedate, with comic book shops closed until the end of the month (at least in California), when Diamond began distributing new comics again. Now we're finally seeing those FCBD issues, with Diamond releasing a few each week. 

Tomorrow, we get the FCBD issue I've been looking forward to most of all.

While Tim Seeley has been knocking our socks off recently with his Bloodshot series, Joshua Dysart helped launch the modern era of Valiant titles with his Harbinger series. While new titles like Tim Seeley's Bloodshot bring new writers into the Valiant fold, Dysart's X-O Manowar story is brought to life by artists beloved by the Valiant community. 

Something old, something new, something red, something blue, something of the present, something from the past. There's truly something for everyone in the Valiant 2020 FCBD Special. So stop by your local comic book store, and secure your copy, before the readers who hit shops each Wednesday to peruse the latest titles snap them up!
