I kind of missed Valiant's revival at its height, which probably happened because it came about during a time when I was either completely out of comics or minimally involved. I ran across their booth at the Baltimore Comic-Con one year, though, and bought a couple of trades, and every once in a while, I …

A Valiant Effort: Turok, Dinosaur Hunter
The Valiant Effort comes to a close with one of the company's most notable titles, a book that had its origins in the Gold Key series Turok Son of Stone and made a chromium splash when its first issue hit because it was so over-ordered and so de-valued by speculators that it became a symbol …
A Valiant Effort: Solar, Man of the Atom
The penultimate title in the stack was one of the more marquee characters in Valiant's lineup, a character that like Magnus and Turok, was published by another comic company back in the 1960s and to my knowledge is not part of the current Valiant lineup--in fact, I think that the relaunch was only with the …
A Valiant Effort: The H.A.R.D. Corps and Magnus Robot Fighter
I'm doing two series in one entry because there were only three total comics for both of them: The H.A.R.D. Corps #16 and 21 and Magnus Robot Fighter #24. Plus, I have more to say about the latter than the former. I vaguely remember the H.A.R.D. Corps from the Deathmate crossover and I think the …

A Valiant Effort: Eternal Warrior

A Valiant Effort: Bloodshot
These two comics, Bloodshot #6 and 7, are a bit of a cheat because I had read them before. In fact, I brought #6 to an episode of "Back to the Bins" a number of years ago and we all more or less gave it a C. But I wanted to reread them because I was reading …
A Valiant Effort: Archer & Armstrong
So the Valiant Universe seems to have been pretty tightly created from the get go, with the same villains showing up in different books and characters being related to one another in some way. From what I understand, there are three immortals walking around and they are brothers. One of them is the Eternal Warrior, …
A Valiant Effort: Valiant Rader
The end of the big longbox of independent comics that I obtained for free a few years ago features a pile of books from one of the bigger indie publishers of the early 1990s, Valiant. Now, I've already looked at Image and did it all in one post because while I did get out of …
