Re-presenting ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #1 (2012)
After years of training, Obadiah Archer has been
dispatched to New York City to root out and kill the infamous Great Satan of
his parents’ sect. Unfortunately, dying has never been easy for Archer’s target
– the hard-drinking year-old immortal known as Armstrong. Together, this
unlikely pair of heroes is about to stumble headfirst into a centuries-old
conspiracy that will bring the whole of ancient history crashing down on the modern
day Valiant Universe. And that’s going to mean one Hell of a hangover.

Re-presenting HARBINGER #1 (2012)
Read minds. Bend steel. Break all the rules. Teenager
Pete Stanchek is out of work, on the skids, and – unbeknownst to him – a
psionic-powered “harbinger” with the potential to reshape the course of human
history. Toyo Harada is a wealthy business magnate, a respected philanthropist
and the most powerful harbinger of all – or so he thought. As they forge an
uneasy alliance, will Harada offer Pete a chance for redemption – or attempt
to induct him into a secret network of conspiracy, subversion and control? Pete
is about to discover that he’s not alone in the world and, soon, the generation
who has nothing will take on the man who has everything.

Once upon a time, Eric and Woody Henderson were

father’s murder leads them into the throes of a life-altering scientific
accident, Eric and Woody will find themselves with a whole new purpose – and a
perfectly legitimate reason to wear costumes and fight crime. Go big or go
home, folks! Quantum and Woody are coming!
