1. X-O MANOWAR VOL.1 SOLDIER
It’s “Star Wars” meets “Gladiator” in this epic character-driven blend of sci-fi and fantasy. A must-read for fans of GREEN LANTERN: THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, BLACK SCIENCE, and SEVEN TO ETERNITY. Only $9.99.

2. NINJAK VOL.1 WEAPONEER
Love ninjas? Love jerky anti-heroes? Picture JOHN WICK, BATMAN, and every old school Ninja video game from Tenchu to Shinobi to Ninja Gaiden rolled up into one awesome read. Slick spy thriller goodness that keeps you at the edge of your seat. Only $9.99

3. THE VALIANT TP
Looking for a great quick intro to VALIANT? This short, tight event is a great place to get into the book, featuring one of the best writers in the biz, JEFF LEMIRE (DESCENDER, HAWKMAN FOUND, THE TERRIFICS), this is a great place to sample VALIANT. Only $9.99

4. BRITANNIA TP
This great stand-alone story is set in the early years of the VALIANT UNIVERSE, and blends the supernatural horror of HELLBLAZER with a GAME OF THRONES. Mystery, monsters, and massacres – BRITANNIA shows you VALIANT is not afraid to get crazy! Only $9.99

5. IVAR THE TIMEWALKER VOL.1 BREAKING HISTORY
Valiant’s answer to DOCTOR WHO, but so much more. This saga about a time traveler trying to stop the woman who invented time travel from inventing time travel is a killer read that takes the premise: what if the Doctor was actually the companion?

Writer Fred Van Lente utilizes Stephen Hawkings actual essays on quantum theory to develop the sci-fi mechanics of this one! Super cool, super smart, a must-read!

Only $9.99!

6. BLOODSHOT REBORN VOL.1 Colorado
JEFF LEMIRE (DESCENDER, HAWKMAN FOUND, THE TERRIFICS, THANOS, MOON KNIGHT) delivers one of the best of the Valiant books as we’re given one of the darkest of the superhero titles from Valiant. This blend of PUNISHER-style superhero action with espionage and crime noir reminds us of SOUTHERN BASTARDS meets CAPTAIN AMERICA WINTER SOLDIER. A must-read! Only $9.99

7. FAITH VOL.1 HOLLYWOOD AND VINE
If the mystery and slice-of-life storytelling of series like MORNING GLORIES, or TV series like cult favorite VERONICA MARS, totally captivated you, then you have gotta try FAITH. This is the tale of a hardcore comic and pop culture fan who ends up getting her biggest dream: to be a superhero. Fans of MS MARVEL, SQUIRREL GIRL, and more will dig the heck out of this one. Only $9.99

8. ARCHER & ARMSTRONG VOL.1 THE MICHELANGELO CODE
If Will Ferrel and John C Reilly were superheroes, they’d be ARCHER & ARMSTRONG. Seriously: this book is hilarious, and underneath the humor, there’s a compelling conspiracy plot that’ll make fans of stuff like the DaVinci Code and Mr. Robot fall in love with it. The most intelligent, absurdist, globe-trotting, conspiracy busting, buddy comedy of all time. An 18 year-old brainwashed assassin teams up with a 10,000 year-old Messopatamian drunk. They go all over the world to learn how to live a little but wherever they go, people try to kill them. Ninja-nuns (Nunjas!), dead celebrities, area 51 aliens, can’t two guys just have a good time? Only $9.99

9. QUANTUM & WOODY VOL.1 WORLD’S WORST SUPERHEROES
Another humorous one from Valiant, QUANTUM & WOODY is the ultimate odd couple superhero book, and conjures back some of our favorite buddy comedies like RUSH HOUR, BAD BOYS, and LETHAL WEAPON. Imagine the two dumbest people ever, one a con man and one a soldier, who hate each other. Now imagine they accidentally get superpowers and if they don’t KLANG their bracelets every 24 hours they’ll disintegrate and die. Oh, and their heavy hitter is a goat who can take out a tank with one look. No more spoilers! Only $9.99

10. DIVINITY TP
Quite possibly our personal favorite VALIANT book; this takes a simple premise: what if WATCHMEN’s DOCTOR MANHATTAN was a communist, who disappeared in the ’60s, and then returned in the modern day to find out everything he’s devoted his life to has been conquered? Only $9.99

A must-read for fans of stuff like WATCHMEN, PLANETARY, and SUPERMAN RED SON, as well as those looking for a look at the early years of the VALIANT UNIVERSE.

And where do you go from there? The perfect place to start reading VALIANT monthly is the brand new SHADOWMAN #1 debuting this March.

Following in the footsteps of their epic relaunches of X-O MANOWAR, NINJAK, and more – this is a perfect place to jump into SHADOWMAN, and in the process, enter what’s happening across the shared universe of VALIANT as a whole.

In SHADOWMAN, it’s all about FIGHTING YOUR D EMONS, not fearing them!

Orphaned at birth and raised on the margins of society, Jack Boniface never knew his place in the world. Until he discovered it waiting for him… in a darkness far older than the reign of men… Unbeknownst to him, Jack was fated to become the next in a long lineage of Shadowmen – mortals bound to violent voodoo spirits of immense power – that could safeguard our world against incursions from realms beyond.

For years, he struggled to control the loa’s murderous urges – a battle he eventually lost. But now, after years of self-imposed exile, the man once known as Shadowman is returning home to sharpen the weapon within…and unleash a reckoning on the evils of our world that will soon send shockwaves through heaven and hell alike…

Written by GREEN ARROW YEAR ONE scribe ANDY DIGGLE, and featuring gorgeous art by STEPHEN SEGOVIA, the new take on SHADOWMAN blends the pulp appeal of HELLBOY with the modern day shared universe superhero action of VALIANT.

SHADOWMAN #1 starts 3/28/18! You can subscribe to SHADOWMAN with your Third Eye Pullbox by clicking here

As we said, we’re all about helping you discover your favorite thing, Third Eye Faithful, and we’re telling you now: if you love the combination of smart, sharp and compelling storytelling with a sense of shared-universe and world-building like we’ve been seeing recently with DC Comics since their REBIRTH initiative, then you will love what VALIANT is doing.

While many of these characters may be brand new to you, they’ve been around for decades, and have a long, rich history in comics that gives them every bit as much importance as some of comics biggest icons. However, at the same time, the way that the stories are told, they’re very easy for many of us who’ve never read a Valiant book before in our lives to jump in and find out just why Valiant fans are the most die-hard comic fans around!

Come by the shop, and let us help you discover the awesomeness that is VALIANT!
