BREAKTHROUGH, Valiant’s boundary shattering lineup in 2019 brings 4 all new series bursting with talent
Valiant entertainment understands that there is no time like the present when they revealed “Breakthrough,” via SyFy.com this Wednesday. Not letting the sudden parting of ways with executive editor Joe Illidge slow them down Valiant is proud to announce their spring 2019 lineup featuring four new miniseries setting the stage for its comic revolution slated next year.
Breaking through this March is the previously announced THE LIFE AND DEATH OF TOYO HARADA – a heart-wrenching, character-driven tale about the world’s most powerful superhuman facing his final battle – coming from Eisner Award-nominated writer Joshua Dysart (HARBINGER) and a rotating cast of awe-inspiring artists, including CAFU (RAI), Mico Suayan (BLOODSHOT REBORN), Lewis LaRosa (BLOODSHOT SALVATION), and Adam Pollina (X-Force).
From the twisted minds of Cullen Bunn (Venom) and Adam Gorham (Rocket) comes the debut of PUNK MAMBO in April. This five-issue limited series, about a British voodoo priestess lurking just outside of New Orleans, unleashes a supernatural adventure with equal parts terror and humor.
FALLEN WORLD by mastermind writer Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy) and astonishing artist Adam Pollina (X-Force) is a five-issue event series beginning in May that will pull readers into a captivating cyberpunk future unlike any they’ve ever seen before. In the year 4002 AD, the cyborg samurai called Rai will face an impossible battle for the fate of humanity.
The slate races forward with KILLERS from acclaimed writer B. Clay Moore (SAVAGE) and energetic artist Fernando Dagnino (Suicide Squad), a non-stop thrill ride as the deadliest super spies on the planet compete to claim the ultimate prize, coming in July.
“I’m incredibly excited to reveal BREAKTHROUGH, the next step in the continued success of the Valiant Universe that builds toward a full year of exciting announcements,” Valiant’s Senior Editorial Director Robert Meyers told Syfy Wire. “These are extraordinary stories told by master storytellers, featuring comics’ most compelling villain, Toyo Harada; the main stage debut of Punk Mambo; the evolution of the future; and perhaps the scariest assembly of super spies the Valiant Universe has ever seen.”
With all this coming in 2019 how can anyone say no to Valiant’s BREAKTHROUGH. I myself am so thrilled to have Adam Pollina’s art in my hands once again and if your excited for any of the series in this lineup let us at Comic Watch know in the comments below.
