Get an exclusive first look at Valiant Beyond: All-New Harbinger #4 – It Never Stops #1, written by Fred Van Lente with art by Erik Tamayo, Exequiel F. Roel, Ludwig Olimba, and Camila Jorge.
Valiant Comics has been through a number of iterations. First founded in 1989, it was part of the ’90s boom with hit characters like X-O Manowar, Harbinger, and Magnus, Robot Fighter. The publisher lay dormant after that for decades, until it was revamped in the mid-2010s. The characters were brought back, given a new sheen, and led to a new superhero universe.
However, through various other corporate restructurings, Valiant is once again (as of this writing) in a time of flux. After Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot failed to start a new cinematic universe, the publisher is once again focusing on their core: comics.

The book has been mired in controversy, thanks to language used in the first issue.
The launch of Valiant’s new Bloodshot has been hit with a huge dust-up online, as anti-trans dogwhistles were seemingly included in the dialogue, leading to multiple apologies by publisher Alien Books and writer Mauro Mantella. Cadence Comic Art has been hit with a lawsuit by 17 artists. Marvel launches The Infernal Hulk.
I know I made a mistake, but at no point did I intend to spread a message of hate,” Mantella wrote on Instagram.
Valiant’s new Bloodshot #1 is under fire online for a panel depicting what is seen as thinly veiled transphobic dialogue.
