New Classic Collections by Valiant Comics

Fans of Valiant’s classics listen up, there are some fresh collected editions coming up from the company’s new Valiant Classic Collections line.

Back to the 90s

Yes, Valiant Comics has been around for a while now in their modern form. The rebirth included most of their most iconic heroes and villains, from X-O Manowar to Bloodshot to everyone in between. There are still more than a few fans though, that love the classic Valiant.

Born in the early 90s, Valiant was an early smash. The line enjoyed quite a bit of popularity on comics racks around the country. And now a pair of collected editions will be bringing all of that action back for a modern fanbase. All the way from 1992.

Just announced and released, Valiant Classic Collections kicks off with Archer & Armstrong: Revival and X-O Manowar: Retribution.

Archer & Armstrong: Revival

SQUARE PEGS IN A ROUND WORLD

Archer is the world’s greatest hand-to-hand fighter, an expert marksman, and a seeker of truth and righteousness. Armstrong is an immortal warrior who has reluctantly brawled his way from pre-history to modern times only to realize that the best way to face life’s many challenges is to grab a drink. But Armstrong counts as his worst day the one when Archer turned up and decided that they were partners – a team chosen by fate to save the world!

From the minds of legendary creators Barry Windsor-Smith (Weapon X), Jim Shooter (Secret Wars), Bob Layton (Iron Man), and more comes the first Valiant Classic Collection of the groundbreaking series CBR calls a “comic book masterpiece“!

X-O Manowar: Retribution

THE MOST PRIMITIVE MAN, THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON

Abducted from his own time by the predatory Spider Aliens and displaced to the present day, Aric of Dacia will make war on his one-time captors and any who stand with them. Armed with a sentient suit of battle armor and savagery born in an age of war, he will become the hero this new age demands. Tyrants from beyond time and space, superpowered corporate raiders, and corrupt government power brokers… all will quake in fear where X-O Manowar dares to tread.

Featuring groundbreaking work from comic-book legends Jim Shooter (Secret Wars), Bob Layton (Iron Man), Barry Windsor-Smith (Weapon X), Joe Quesada (Daredevil), Steve Englehart (Detective Comics) and many more, the complete adventures of Valiant’s original armored hero begin here in the first Valiant Classic Collection of the series Graphic Policy calls “a must read“!
