The Valiant is shaping up to alter what we currently know as the Valiantverse. What's in the box? What does Neville have planned? Will the team up of all the known Valiant heroes be needed in order to stop The Immortal Enemy? I, for one, am excited to find out. Read Full Review

Oh, and make sure you spend some time with the commentary at the end of the book. Not only some great insight into how the book was made, but very cool art made from pencils to finished product. Definitely dont overlook this stuff. Read Full Review

Paolo Rivera is the artist here with Joe Rivera assisting and Dave Lanphear on the letters. The art here is pretty killing. The artists have a pretty good sense of how to best portray the characters, whether they are standing around talking or doing some sort of an action scene. The visuals really are gorgeous, irrespective of the location being portrayed, and I think the standout scenes are those with Kay and the Immortal Enemy, with the whole horror-vibe going on, something that gets really creepy the further it all goes on.

The Valiant #2 is a damn good issue in what is proving to be a phenomenal series so far. Sure, we're only two issues in, but they are both fantastic and if readers are looking for a gateway into the Valiant U, they've got a great one with this series. The Valiant features top notch creators firing on all cylinders. If you think the superhero market is saturated, The Valiant (and the Valiant line) are proof that if you put interesting characters in the hands of skilled creators, great things can happen.

This series is off to one of the best starts I've seen from a superhero book in awhile. It's energetic, smart, and just plain awesome. If you are a fan of the Valiant universe, this is the next great book. It takes a few of the greatest characters, and features some of their best character moments so far, despite how new the series is. If you aren't at all familiar with the universe, go ahead, pick up the first two issues and become mesmerized immediately. Lemire, Kindt, and Rivera are a dream come true, and they live up to their names in this title. The Valiant is one of the best new books out there, and has already earned its place as one of the best superhero books on the market. Check it out. Read Full Review

I am running out of adjectives to describe Paolo Riveras art because he simply knocks it right out of the park seemingly every time he draws a book. He conveys the various characters emotions masterfully and really gives each one their own distinct personalities. His depiction of Mr. Flay is truly the stuff of nightmares and reading this series makes me want to see him on a purely horror esque book. Jeff Lemire also provides a few panels of art in the style of a children's book and as a fan of Vertigos Sweet Tooth, its really cool to see Lemire take up art duties again, if only for a couple of pages.

The Valiant #2 is an action-packed adventure from start to finish with a compelling story component bringing Kay McHenry's childhood storybook to life. Paolo Rivera's artwork brings out the emotions of the characters and sells the fear they are experiencing while Lemire and Kindt's watercolor panels provide an extra layer of horror.

What I can really appreciate about this book is the dreaded sense of panic that the writers carefully create within the typically stone-faced characters Eternal Warrior and Ninjak. It just might be the first time we've seen them on the brink of wetting their pants. Read Full Review

With a better balance of heroes than #1, The Valiant #2 is a brilliant read Read Full Review

Quite simply, The Valiant is an incredible read! Valiant is such a tightly linked universe and seeing all the characters play their part to help Gilad feels more like a solid story than a simple cheap stunt to include everyone. This book comes with my highest recommendation and it's a great way for new readers to introduce themselves to all the best characters in Valiant's lineup. It's a must read! Read Full Review

Speaking of the world " what a world it is when drawn by Paolo Rivera. His line work remains absolutely fantastic, filled with big moments and nuanced quirks that give each page that little something more. Whether it's Ninjak ninja-ing quietly out of the snow or the growing nightmare that is Mr. Flay, Rivera's art is so on point that it's worth the cover price alone. Don't miss it. Read Full Review

The Valiant #2 is making good time balancing out intense action scenes with much more character development than you would have initially expected from this series. You just hope that with everything going on that this can bring The Valiant to a satisfying end with no loose ends. Read Full Review

This series is a lot of fun, and while this issue did feel like it was setting up stuff, more so than moving things forward. It at least did it in an unusual fashion, and kept audience interest high for next month's installment. I can't wait to read it. Read Full Review

The Immortal Enemy is another character that feels just a touch too familiar. His voice drips with that brand ofcackling menace we've seen before in dozens of deliciously evil villains. Luckily, Paolo and Joe Rivera illustrates every figure in a way that perfectly captures everything unique about their look. The Enemys split visage design is nothing short of genius. Every form he takes is chilling and intimidating. Meanwhile, no one can look at The Valiant #2 and think Bloodshot or XO-Manowar look like anything but themselves. The Valiant #2 does many things well. Visually, its almost perfect. Read Full Review

Full marks again. Amazing.

Perfect in every way.

Italia - sembrava giunta l'ora della geomante, invece interviene la squadra di supporto composta da ninjak, bloodshot e Gilad,che riescono a far scappare Kay.

This is a good comic-book. I don't say that often.

Short and sweet, the comic is mostly one conflict with the villain, who's pretty cool. The pages where he goes after Ninjak are memorable, but the rest of the comic is pretty average. I can't figure out what I'm missing that has the critics swooning over this series. Advertising money from Valiant perhaps?

Just not connecting with this.
