One of the great promises of any shared universe is the possibility of stories that benefit from the whole without completely relying on it. In The Forgotten Queen, Valiant has the beginnings of just such a story. Moreover, it's a series that serves as a great showcase for both Tini Howard and Amilcar Pinna, not to mention its fearsomely cool antihero lead. This is definitely a title, and a creative team, worth remembering in the future. Read Full Review

There is a lot to love in the first issue of The Forgotten Queen. It is accessible to new readers and longtime Valiant fans and has a fantastic lead. Read Full Review

Ultimately, this is a solid first issue, although there's still room for the series to get better, this is still a worthy addition to your pull list – whether your a Valiant fan, or you just want a comic about a tough, sarcastic character. This isn't a must buy, not yet, but it is worth your time and money. Read Full Review

An excellent start for a different kind of hero. I left a twist hanging, but I feel it's best to let the reader have something to discover for themselves. Tini Howard is an excellent fit for this type of story. Her love of sparsing flashback with current events is a decent way of engrossing the reader in the story. It makes them feel like they discover things at the same time as the protagonist. Pinna's work is unfamiliar to me, but his lines and color choices fit the scenes well. A considerable portion of the book occurs underwater, and the sea life and backgrounds are a pleasing addition. Read Full Review

The Forgotten Queen #1 has it all, war, love, mystery, all delivered by a wonderful team of creators. Read Full Review

While acting as purely an opening for the story to come, and an introduction to this character, The Forgotten Queen #1 sells itself gracefully on the strength on Howards writing and Pinnas artwork. And with the seeds planted and the characters established, the cliff-hanger this issue ends on leaves me incredibly excited to see just where this story is headed. Read Full Review

I have questions about this character that aren't answered just yet but The Forgotten Queen is a nice first issue to help get me there. Read Full Review

The Forgotten Queen #1 is a little from Column A and a little from Column B that is 100 percent Tini Howard, a writer whose attitude and attention to character detailing is a real boon for this debut. Pair that attitude with the weathered artwork of Amilcar Pinna and Ulises Arreola and you have a debut that has the potential to add something really neat to the tapestry of the Valiant line. Hopefully by next issue, the scenes in the present will add a lot more to it than they do the first. Read Full Review

This is a four issue run, so it will interesting to see how Valiant go about this run. What do you think are the chances that the two immortals will eventually bump into each other, especially given as they appear to be polar opposites? That may be something that happens down the line. Currently, we need to see if this Forgotten Queen is able to hold onto her loyal subjects. Read Full Review
