On the heels of its announcement of a "Valiant Origins" video series, Valiant Entertainment teased a major, macabre story for some of its biggest characters Saturday evening at its 25th Anniversary panel at Emerald City Comicon.

Drawn by artist Robert Gill, the "Book of Death" teaser signifies Valiant's next major event following "Harbinger Wars," "Unity," "Armor Hunters" and "The Valiant," with many of the company's marquee characters depicted in the image.

Whatever the particulars of the story are, it is set to arrive in July.
