Valiant Comics has released their solicitations for titles being published for July 2016. Valiant Comics enthusiasts will be exhilarated to see that, after the success of 4001 A.D. and Bloodshot series, it lead them to proceed, and the countdown clock ticks down closer to the end of X-O Manowar.
Between 41st century’s revolutionary heroes such as Rai, fighting fiercely against Father’s devilish tactics to control New Japan, Bloodshot struggle to destroy the engine called Deathmate using its nano-technology to auto-repair itself, while imprisoned on a lethal island completed with illogical challenges, July promises to be a morsel of activity for Valiant Comics.
Bloodshot is a heartbreaking, action-packed, violent masterpiece wrapping up with Bloodshot Reborn, in which he takes into his protection a small town in an epic love and hate storyline, which results in a bloody outcome.
And let us not forget the last chapter of Divinity II, the sold-out sci-fi epic novel that catapulted Valiant Comics toward a massively anxious audience, featuring bursting artwork.
Mercenaries return on the newest volume of Imperium, the fourth, to vanquish the Imperium and confront Toyo Harada, taking him head-on. Meanwhile, MI-6 operative known as Ninjak, the superb death-defying super-spy strikes back to get back the life he claims to be his.
Shadowman returns to the year 4001 A.D. to fight alongside with Rai, as the darkest hour descends upon Eternal Warrior. And X-O Manowar sees the Torment arrival to Earth, standing between total annihilation of all existence and the dispute to the heir of the armor.
The upcoming issues feature many New York Times best-selling writers and award-winning artists. Although I have left behind the mentions of Faith, the high-flying hero that captured the imagination of the world is back with a huge new comics milestone, though it fails to grab my attention. Also another issue of A&A: The Adventures Of Archer & Armstrong, which in its turn, despite its popularity, remains irrelevant in my collection.
