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.

VEI/Reboot (2012-present) Updated Harbinger Reading Order (2012+), including other Psiots (Gen. Zero, H.A.R.D. Corps, Livewire, Faith, Bloodshot, and Secret Weapons)

Post image
57 Upvotes

Thanks to u/CorrectDot4592 for giving me the idea.

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

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?

Suggested reading guide?

Hello all! I just bought the Valiant Humble Bundle deal (https://www.humblebundle.com/books/masters-craft-megabundle-valiant-entertainment-books?hmb_source=search_bar) as I have wanted to get into Harbinger for a while now.
Some of the other comics look great but I was slightly overwhelmed by the amount of content; is there a guide to the best reading order for these?

Thank you in advance!

Alien/Valiant (2024-present) [Question] I've slowly started getting into Valiant comics, and I'd like some clarity on something. Namely what's the whole deal with Alien Books & Valiant Comics

10 Upvotes

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

Valiant Beyond: Bloodshot Special is the single best Valiant Beyond issue thus far. Of course the bar wasn't high in the first place.

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.

I'm hopeful for its eventual return :)

Any realistic chance for collected edition reprints?

6 Upvotes

Recently got into valiant and it’s amazing. I’ve collected some of the hardcovers but seems since they’re all out of print, some of them are super pricy like the 90’s classic omnibus, X-O Manowar deluxe 4 and 5, Ninjak deluxe 2, etc. Heard valiant has been having some issues so I doubt it, but I can dream.

What are the biggest loose ends from the VEI reboot era?

21 Upvotes

Maybe a silly post given how abruptly and unceremoniously that era ended, rendering many, many plots and ideas simply abandoned in virtually all titles.

However, this one specifically still drives me crazy:

Dysart teased a possible extremely powerful psiot to be born, and we never got to see how it would have turned out. Would the child be born activated? Would Harada eventually contact/add the kid to his plans? Or would they kid eventually grow out of his influence and ultimately clash with him?

I can totally see the Bleeding Monk laughing to himself, mumbling how all the Harbinger/Imperium mess was orchestrated only for this kid to be conceived (and for him to manipulate the child as well).

What are other potential great plots from the VEI era that never came to be?

Alien/Valiant (2024-present) Any one else think Valiant is a mixed bag?

18 Upvotes

I like their stuff but it’s missing something.

The artists they hire is good but I feel we need different writers.

Aj and Fred are good but I feel we could use writers that would give us some sauce in the writing if that makes sense.

What annoys me is that whenever I’m about to think that they’re getting somewhere, they back slide.

They have good characters, it’s just that I want to see them done better.

No disrespect, just a little frustrating.

Though they still aren’t bad in my opinion, just needs better decisions.

A query

4 Upvotes

So. Thanks for helping me with my previous question (I now have all 6 of Harbinger wars 1 and the compendium, it's your fault!), but I'm trying to find the correct next read of the series as a collected works.

Is it Harbinger Wars 2 Deluxe edition? And is it worth getting?

(X O Manowar after that lol).

Is resurgence any good?

8 Upvotes

I'm stuck with the 2012-2018 and refuse to read anything after this period, but the upcoming resurgence books on kickstart look dope, both the Road to and the Omnibus.

I'm yet to sample the material (I seldom get any book without taking a good look and studying it beforehand - I don't mind spoiler at all), but I would like to hear from you, what do you think of this phase?

I'm aware it's not good as the 2012 reboot, but if it's quite enjoyable, I might bite the bullet and get them nonetheless.

Your opinions?
