Operation: Stormbreaker

In 1997, Acclaim Comics revived the Valiant universe with Operation: Stormbreaker, a single-issue special written by Brian Augustyn and Mark Waid with art by Dougie Braithwaite. This one-shot served as a bridge between classic Valiant continuity and Acclaim's new direction, focusing on a high-stakes mission that redefined key characters for a new era. Though brief, it remains a notable artifact of the tumultuous transition from the original Valiant line to Acclaim's short-lived superhero revival.
