New Partnership With Alien Books

 

 

Prepare for a new dawn in the Valiant Universe!

 
Valiant Entertainment has entered into an agreement with international comics publisher Alien Books to continue to expand Valiant’s publishing capabilities.
 
Alien Books and it’s Director Matias Timarchi have built a strong and unique comic book publishing company with over 25 years of experience publishing in the United States as well as overseas and international markets. The expansion of the Valiant line of publishing is a major point of emphasis in this partnership, with eyes towards a vibrant and voluminous 2024 publishing schedule!
 
On this monumental partnership Timarchi says: “Being able to collaborate on the creation of new stories with Valiant, the third largest connected superhero universe, is truly a dream come true. As a lifelong superhero fan and self-professed geek, the opportunity to work with these incredible characters fills me with boundless enthusiasm. Our goal is to expand the entire Valiant universe by crafting new books that will delight longtime fans while also innovating to engage a new generation of readers interested in webtoons, manga, and digital storytelling experiences. We are immensely proud that Valiant has selected us as their new partners for this thrilling venture, and we are excited to embark on a new chapter in Valiant's illustrious history.”

In partnership with Alien Books, we see an opportunity to push the boundaries of comic book publishing to help develop our incredible IP in exciting new ways for a rapidly expanding global audience.”
 
With all the critical and commercial success it has experienced, X-O MANOWAR UNCONQUERED will be continuing as our new world order takes shape, along with the long-awaited publication of NINJAK SUPERKILLERS this fall. The Valiant team will be working hand in hand with the Alien Books team to shape the Valiant publishing line. More to come very soon on the upcoming 2024 publishing schedule!

X-O Manowar Unconquered #3 Pre-Order Edition


 

Co-writer Michael W. Conrad welcomes you to the Pre-Order section of X-O Manowar Unconquered #3 with an essay that outlines his and Becky Cloonan's approach to the series. You'll also find the covers for the next three Pre-Order editions, and learn why Valiant commissioned the artists. Additionally, there's a preview of X-O Manowar Unconquered #4. 

My favorite extra is the retro cover. In addition to being the co-creator of Bloodshot, Kevin VanHook also served as the editor on 90s X-O Manowar. He may only have been credited with overseeing the series for an issue or two, but I suspect he had input on everything Valiant produced back in those halcyon days.

All hail Kevin VanHook! 

Rock on, retro covers!

Long live Aric of Dacia, X-O Manowar!
