Re: Summer of Valiant: Day 5
The full blown return of Gilad is one of the things I have been most looking foward to with the relaunch. Can't wait to see the treatment. If the story is on the same level as this art, VEI has yet another solid winner on its hands!

That Clayton Crain cover is amazing!
Definitely one of the tops Valiant has put out. Makes me wish he was doing the interiors as well.

Re: Summer of Valiant: Day 5
Amazing.
Covers are
good.
Greg Pak is a very talented writer to boot. Planet Hulk is one of the most epic stories ever, for any character at any publisher. And his Incredible Herc with FVL is still one of my all time favorite series.
And I have been very impressed with Hairsine's work on XO and the Harbinger 1969 scenes. I think his style fits very nicely.

Re: Summer of Valiant: Day 5
My favorite line from the article:
And it gives me hope for RAI in "Spring 2013"...which we all now know continues well into June.
That's one for the true season's argument!"Eternal Warrior" launches in September as part of the Summer of Valiant

And it gives me hope for RAI in "Spring 2013"...which we all now know continues well into June.

So is Trevor only drawing the first issue?Trevor Hairsine is drawing interiors for the first issue. Warren, what made Trevor a good match for the story Greg has coming up?

The cover and character design are stunning. Looking forward to reading this book and discovering what the focus of the plot will be.

Re: Summer of Valiant: Day 5
This sounds interesting:
"Who are the other players involved in the series? Greg, I heard you might have plans for the new Geomancer.
Pak: All that will be revealed in due time. As we begin, we're going to concentrate on Gilad and these kids of his. Fairly soon, we've got some new villains that are going to surface and we're going to discover -- Gilad serves the Earth. He's the fist and the steel, he is the warrior for the Earth. We're going to discover fairly quickly that there are other people serving other entities. There's the House of the Earth, there are other Houses in the Valiant Universe and there are other Swords that serve those houses. Things are going to get pretty crazy and pretty dangerous pretty quickly.
Simons: One of the things that I really love about this particular story is that we know who the Geomancer is, but we've never really understood what it means to be the Speaker of the Earth. We've never really understood what it means to be the Fist and the Steel beyond serving the Speaker of the Earth. What does it mean to be the Speaker of the Earth? What does that role mean within the universe? Beyond just touching on the most superficial level of what that means, we're really delving in deeper to really build the mythology, and Greg's come up with some pretty awesome stuff."

Re: Summer of Valiant: Day 5
I've been begging for Valiant to put Trevor Hairsine on his own Valiant title and now I got my wish!
and he'll be drawing one of my favorite characters!!
The original Eternal Warrior series was one of the best things that the original Valiant put out.

And I want to see him use the axe. He has been pictured with an axe on several covers but we have yet to see it in the pages of the new Valiant.
