SDCC 2017: Valiant Previews 2017’s Biggest Releases with Exclusive Blind-Bagged Retailer Editions
Award-Winning Publisher to Debut BLOODSHOT SALVATION #1, NINJA-K #1, and QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1 at Annual Diamond Retailer Appreciation Breakfast
Valiant is proud to announce that – following the publisher’s upcoming presentation at the annual Diamond Retailer Appreciation Lunch at Comic Con International in San Diego, California on Friday, July 21st, 2017 – attending retailers will receive specially manufactured, blind-bagged editions of three of the year’s most hotly anticipated new launches from Valiant’s ICONS initiative: BLOODSHOT SALVATION #1, NINJA-K #1, and QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1.
Out of the record-setting success of X-O MANOWAR (2017) #1 – the year’s highest selling new series launch from any independent publisher – and the near-universal critical acclaim surrounding the recent release of SECRET WEAPONS #1 (of 4), Valiant will be sharing advance looks at the three must-read series anchoring the publisher’s “ICONS” initiative with the exclusive VALIANT ICONS SDCC 2017 BLIND BAG EDITIONS. Each of the three VALIANT ICONS SDCC 2017 BLIND BAG EDITIONS will come sealed in an opaque polybag – in order to preserve several distinctive, surprise elements inside the comics themselves that will not be made available in the final print editions for sale to the general public – and will be available only to attendees of the Diamond Retailer Breakfast:
Plus: Don’t miss the rest of Valiant’s major “ICONS” launches throughout 2017 with an all-new wave of ongoing series, prestige-format projects and standalone events spanning the Valiant Universe’s greatest heroes and top talents! “ICONS” will continue throughout the fall and winter with one major new series launch each month, featuring the publisher’s most enduring heroes:
