Valiant has a slate of titles in the works with what they describe as “boundary-pushing storytelling.” The new stories will feature bloody violence, a fight against the shadows, and a king returning to his throne.
On September 21, 2022, Bloodshot Unleashed by writer Deniz Camp and artist Jon Davis-Hunt will be Valiant’s first Mature Readers title. “Bloodshot Unleashed is a brutally unflinching examination of who the character is, set against a backdrop of violence that exposes his traumatic past by pitting him against deadly rampaging monsters who reflect his own place in the Valiant Universe,” Valiant’s description reads.
Valiant’s Dark Defenders – Shadowman, Eternal Warrior, Punk Mambo, Doctor Mirage, and Persephone – will come together for the first time in Book of Shadows. An ancient villain called Exarch Fane is unleashing the Dark Feast on the world in this new book by writer Cullen Bunn and artist Vicente Cifuentes. The series begins in January 2023.
In March 2023, X-O Manowar will make his way back to the throne in X-O Manowar Unconquered. Led by the creative team of Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, and Liam Sharp, Aric and his sentient armor Shanhara will travel to new planets, encounter old villains, and face brutal destinies.
