Punk Mambo #2: Black Magick Woman
Punk Mambo #2
Long story short, this creative team is right on the money page after page.

Fallen World #1: End of the World As We Know It
Fallen World #1
Bottom line is Valiant has been killing it on all fronts in 2019 so far and this is just another huge check in the #winning category. If this issue is any indication the only downside here is knowing this series is only 5 issues.

Livewire #6: Wolves Among Sheep
Livewire #6
I’ve sung Vita Ayala’s praises on this title with every issue and this one is no exception.

Incursion #3: Death Becomes Her
Incursion #3
Incursion is a textbook perfect example of why Valiant has been so enduring since the relaunch.

Livewire #5: We Can Be Heroes
Livewire #5
If you weren’t already convinced Vita Ayala is on to something great here then she’s just dropped yet another reason why you should be.

X-O Manowar #26: Happily Ever After?!?
X-O Manowar #26
I was a huge fan of Schonn and Aric being together and despite my irked nerves with this issues, I still am.

Psi-Lords #1: Mystery in Spaaaaaace!!!
Psi-Lords #1
Van Lente gambles on stepping away from the established core of what keeps Valiant fans reading and knocks it out of the park.

X-O Manowar #25: Stuck between an Ex-Wife and a Hard place.
X-O Manowar #25
One of the strong suits of X-O Manowar comics is seeing amazing battles and this issue does not disappoint in the least.

Punk Mambo #1: Witchy Woman
Punk Mambo #1
Bunn perfectly balances the more “out there” elements of her character with the reality that she’s decades older than she appears and as such is a skilled veteran not to be taken lightly by man or monster. Any doubts you have about whether this book is something substantial or just one long meme about a chick with a pink mohawk that loves the Doors will be dashed by the conclusion of this debut issue.

Incursion #2: Deal with a Devil
Incursion #2
Doug Braithwaite’s art is impeccably perfect here like he’s been waiting for a chance to draw Eternal Warrior against hordes of demons for some time now. Granted he’s not unfamiliar with drawing Gilad’s adventures but just something about each issue has a feeling of fresh energy pumping through every panel.

Livewire#4: Recharged
Livewire #4
If one needed a solid foundation to step foot into the Valiant universe Vita Ayala just handed you four issues perfect for just that. Something intriguing without being overwhelming and familiar to older fans like myself without becoming stale. Besides when’s the last time we got handed a strong independent black woman who didn’t need no man in her own book that wasn’t Storm? Bottom line Livewire is a solid series that already shows great promise and the potential to become just as synonymous with the name “Valiant” as Ninjak, Bloodshot or X-O Manowar.

X-O Manowar #24: Get X-O Manorekt
X-O Manowar #24
if you ever wondered…”what would happen if you put Jason Aaron’s Thor, Ed Brubaker’s Captain America and Matt Fraction/Warren Ellis Iron Man into a blender and only kept the amazing parts that really worked?” well wonder no more, because that’s exactly what X-O Manowar is.
