Alien Books is teasing the future of Valiant Comics with a brand-new, free ashcan that will be available at San Diego Comic-Con 2025.
With a slew of new comics coming later this year as part of the Valiant Beyond initiative, including Bloodshot #1, Tales of the Shadowman #1, All-New Harbringer #1, and The X-O Manowar #1, Alien Books will give away a free ashcan titled Valiant Beyond Preview Edition Ashcan. Check out the main cover art for the ashcan with a preview of X-O Manowar below.
“We’ve talked a lot about how excited we are to be launching Valiant Beyond, but the time for talk is over,” explains Alien Books Director/Editor-in-Chief . “We want readers to be as hyped up as we are for the incredible stories and artwork that await them in these new #1s and the Valiant Beyond Preview Edition Ashcan is the perfect way to show off the start of this dynamic new era of Valiant Comics.”
“The Valiant Beyond creative teams have nailed that delicate balance between offering bold new interpretations on iconic characters and keeping their core personalities and attitudes intact and recognizable,” added Alien Books Director of Communications Ron Cacace. “We truly believe in the quality of the stories being told in Valiant Beyond, and we can’t wait to see people’s reactions first-hand when they read through the ashcan.”
The creators working on the book includes Mauro Mantella, AJ Ampadu, Steve Orlando, Fred Van Lente, Fernando Heinz Furukawa, Sergio Monjes, Guillermo Fajardo, and Erik Tamayo. A limited number of the ashcan will be available for free at IDW Publishing’s booth #2729
