VH1 story chronology reading order

Post by SwiftMann »

Years ago, I ran into this post claiming to be a "chronological list that shows in what continuity order to read VALIANT" that initially seemed to be decent, but quickly just turns into a publishing date order.

So, as I read all of VH1 over the past 12-14 months, I tried to track the issues and map out an accurate reading order by story chronology that interwove 1990s stories and 4001 stories. There are only three books on the list that I split up because the story forces it. The rest I picked when it made the most sense to read if there were multiple time periods. I even weaved in the preview issues, TPB inserts, and new HC stories. Everything except Captain Johner & The Aliens cause that's got nothing to do with nothing.

Valiant made this pretty easy at the start, but by the end things definitely get hairy. I compared notes with the Valiant Comics Timeline and even the Valiant Wizard special. While I do have a small handful of major differences, we are fairly well lined up. The biggest question I have is some of the stuff at the very end. That's pretty much a crapshoot for the last six months of publishing. And where exactly to stick X-O/Iron Man since that may be the launch of VH2.

So, here's the title rundown. I have a spreadsheet with dates and length of time each issue takes, but that won't format well here. Happy to hear any thoughts.

Dear SwiftMann,

Just found this site and your post/guide here and I'm impressed, its a wonderful work, thank you so much!

Tho I have 1 question: why was Ninjak #0 and #00 placed there, so early, separately from his own series?

The stories in those issues take place in the 1980s with flashbacks to the 1950s-70s.

Re: VH1 story chronology reading order

Post by JD_M »

Hi! I recently got all the early years of the original Valiant, and this reading order is priceless! Thanks for taking the time to create it. It's clear why some of the issues are out of order (Magnus issue 20), but there are a few others that I wanted to double check are deliberate... For example, Harbinger 27 is after 31, Solar 32 is before 30 and 31, and there are a cpl more that seem strange to be so close to sequential but aren't. Without any spoilers, can you please confirm that that was on purpose? THANKS so much!
SwiftMann wrote: Wed Dec 18, 2019 11:21:40 pm Years ago, I ran into this post claiming to be a "chronological list that shows in what continuity order to read VALIANT" that initially seemed to be decent, but quickly just turns into a publishing date order.

So, as I read all of VH1 over the past 12-14 months, I tried to track the issues and map out an accurate reading order by story chronology that interwove 1990s stories and 4001 stories. There are only three books on the list that I split up because the story forces it. The rest I picked when it made the most sense to read if there were multiple time periods. I even weaved in the preview issues, TPB inserts, and new HC stories. Everything except Captain Johner & The Aliens cause that's got nothing to do with nothing.

Valiant made this pretty easy at the start, but by the end things definitely get hairy. I compared notes with the Valiant Comics Timeline and even the Valiant Wizard special. While I do have a small handful of major differences, we are fairly well lined up. The biggest question I have is some of the stuff at the very end. That's pretty much a crapshoot for the last six months of publishing. And where exactly to stick X-O/Iron Man since that may be the launch of VH2.

So, here's the title rundown. I have a spreadsheet with dates and length of time each issue takes, but that won't format well here. Happy to hear any thoughts.

Re: VH1 story chronology reading order

Post by JD_M »

Hi! I recently got all the early years of the original Valiant, and this reading order is priceless! Thanks for taking the time to create it. It's clear why some of the issues are out of order (Magnus issue 20), but there are a few others that I wanted to double check are deliberate... For example, Harbinger 27 is after 31, Solar 32 is before 30 and 31, and there are a cpl more that seem strange to be so close to sequential but aren't. Without any spoilers, can you please confirm that that was on purpose? THANKS so much!
SwiftMann wrote: Wed Dec 18, 2019 11:21:40 pm Years ago, I ran into this post claiming to be a "chronological list that shows in what continuity order to read VALIANT" that initially seemed to be decent, but quickly just turns into a publishing date order.

So, as I read all of VH1 over the past 12-14 months, I tried to track the issues and map out an accurate reading order by story chronology that interwove 1990s stories and 4001 stories. There are only three books on the list that I split up because the story forces it. The rest I picked when it made the most sense to read if there were multiple time periods. I even weaved in the preview issues, TPB inserts, and new HC stories. Everything except Captain Johner & The Aliens cause that's got nothing to do with nothing.

Valiant made this pretty easy at the start, but by the end things definitely get hairy. I compared notes with the Valiant Comics Timeline and even the Valiant Wizard special. While I do have a small handful of major differences, we are fairly well lined up. The biggest question I have is some of the stuff at the very end. That's pretty much a crapshoot for the last six months of publishing. And where exactly to stick X-O/Iron Man since that may be the launch of VH2.

So, here's the title rundown. I have a spreadsheet with dates and length of time each issue takes, but that won't format well here. Happy to hear any thoughts.

It's clear why some of the issues are out of order (Magnus issue 20), but there are a few others that I wanted to double check are deliberate... For example, Harbinger 27 is after 31, Solar 32 is before 30 and 31, and there are a cpl more that seem strange to be so close to sequential but aren't. Without any spoilers, can you please confirm that that was on purpose? THANKS so much!
They are all intentional. The Harbinger and Solar ones you specifically mention are because of shipping 1993 Christmas stories around Christmas time regardless of the actual continuity.

Unlikely to get a reply, but how come so much of the Turok stuff is in an odd order.

For example, the final issue #47 have a few others after it.

Additionally, how come the original Son of Stone reprints are in there?

I'm still here!

Turok stories bounced around the timeline. Some were far in the past during his Gold Key days (which, like Magnus, appear to be canonical thus the inclusion of the reprints), some were when he first appeared in the VH1 universe (which was 1987 in story time, before most other titles take place), some take place in the Lost Land (which has no real time, but the trip to and from happened once and before other events, which is why #47 comes before other issues).

As I mentioned in my write-up about Years 4 & 5, "If it’s a Lost Land story, it’s a ton of fun. If it’s in America (present or past), it’s not. And gets weirdly preachy. So, go enjoy the fun of #24-27, 31-33, 36-40, and 45-47. The others aren’t terrible, but they definitely interrupt the adventure."

Hope that helps.

As the person who assembled the original list, to be fair at one point chronology stopped mattering at VALIANT, so publishing order became the only real way to complete the list, heh.
