Valiant’s February 2016 Solicitations

Bloodshot Reborn #11 Cover
Variant Cover by Tula Lotay

Valiant’s February 2016 Solicitations have arrived. Many of their flagship series are continuing and in the middle of the arcs including Bloodshot Reborn, Ninjak, X-O Manowar, and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior. Imperium launches a new arc with “Stormbreak.” I’m pretty much on board with everything Valiant is putting out. The stories found within their books are just plain top quality. I also want to get Juan Jose Ryp’s Variant Cover for Imperium #13 on a t-shirt. I just love that cover with Toyo Harada! What will you be picking up from Valiant come February?
