In my opinion, no publisher got their momentum taken from them due to this pandemic more than Valiant Entertainment. The Bloodshot movie never got a fair chance at the box office, a lot of new/newer series didn’t get much of a chance to really dive into their story and there were no conventions. Now, Valiant gears up for an epic summer with their new reading list.
Here is everything planned through August (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IN THE SYNOPSIS OF FUTURE ISSUES):
