The Valiant

In 2015, Valiant Entertainment launched The Valiant, a four-issue miniseries that served as a high-stakes entry point for the publisher's shared universe. Written by Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt with painted art by Paolo Rivera, this self-contained story united a broad cast of Valiant heroes against a devastating ancient threat. It matters as a crisp, accessible crossover that defined the tone of Valiant's modern era, showcasing its grounded, character-driven approach to superheroics.
