  Van Lente gambles on stepping away from the established core of what keeps Valiant fans reading and knocks it out of the park. In one issue you're sparked with more interest in what this brings next and what other new projects Valiant will reveal in the months to come. Read Full Review

  Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes

  First issues can be a difficult prospect; the creators have to produce a book that captures the imagination, and the disposable income of readers who are already feeling the burden of following whatever major event is happening this week. Throw in that this is a team book, where the characters don't know each other ensuring that, at times, the writing jumps from trying to be funny to being serious at the drop of a hat and you can see the difficulty facing Valiant.

  Fred Van Lente has put together a good introduction to the story, that stands on its own fairly well. Renato Guedes' art is gorgeous, but his style takes some getting used to. If you're looking for something new and a little different, this might be the title you've been looking for. Read Full Review

  Relaunching any previously used title is always a crapshoot. You have older readers who may have memories of how the stories went originally, and then you have newer readers who may not get any references made to the previous continuity. Here, Fred Van Lente seems to have hit a nice balance of old and new, and looks to leave no reader behind. Read Full Review

  Doom Rocket - Clyde Hall

  May 02, 2019

  Reworking existing characters into their new universe looks good on Valiant. Their resurrections speak of top talent entrusted and unleashed, allowed to change or preserve the preceding concepts as fits their own stories. Other companies, take note. This is how to maintain a property stable well, not layering redundant variations on skeletal remains never properly fleshed to start with. Read Full Review

  Psi-Lords #1 doesn't require any real knowledge of the original series, but the plot doesn't really stand out either. It's a comic that is visually fantastic, but with a plot that barely rises above average. Whether it's worth reading is up to you, but for me it wasn't worth the wait. Read Full Review

  A solid middle of the road book for me. Decent enough, but promised more. Perhaps an issue or two under the belt will smooth out some issues, though I hold judgement on this being a good writer/artist team for this particular book. Worth a look though. Read Full Review

  It's always a shame when a new #1 issue fumbles the ball, but Psi-Lords #1 feels like a troubled project just from the mismatched creative team behind the wheel. Read Full Review
