In anticipation of the relaunch of its comics properties, Valiant Entertainment has begun rolling out teaser images of its four launch titles coming this summer. Beginning with "X-O Manowar" written by Robert Venditti with art by Cary Nord on May 2, the Valiant relaunch will continue with one of four new books debuting each month until August. After "X-O Manowar," fans can get ahold of "Harbinger" written by Joshua Dysart with art by Khari Evans on June 6. "Harbinger" was revealed as Valiant's second launch title last week complete with a Valiant Pullbox Program variant cover. The revelation of Valiant's launch titles comes after the news of Sony Pictures nabbing the rights to "Bloodshot" and a clever talking variant cover for "X-O Manowar" #1 with another planned for "Harbinger" #1.
"I think there was a reason why Valiant had such a tremendous impact in the industry, initially," Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons told CBR in January. "I think the characters they have really are exceptional. When I was thinking of coming onboard the company, the first thing that I did was research the IP. The thing that I found, time and time again, whether it was X-O or Harbinger or Bloodshot, the core concepts driving the characters really are fantastic. When you have that, you have the foundation for a really incredible universe. The thing about Valiant is that it's not just about a single comic; it's about the tapestry of the larger universe and how these characters play a role in it."
