Timewalker would be amazing. It could span all over the VALIANT timeline from Ancient Sumer to 4001.

I had wondered this after Lemire left Green Arrow. Someone had mentioned that his contract with DC was up. Good move by Valiant.

And the fact that it has multiple high profile names attached to it - I think it will be a 4001 title that further fleshes out that timeline and the overall universe.

Lemire would have a lot of reign to do some crazy stuff in a timeline that has a lot of canvas to play with ... and Matt can further expand the world of Rai/Japan. Maybe a Spylocke story?
This sounds like a good guess, as Lemire likes to play with scifi and future storylines. It would be a fit. Although sounds like something that could be a Timewalker series. Then they'd be able to explore the whole history of Valiant.

Can't wait for tomorrow's news. :clap: :clap: :clap:
I agree. It makes sense that Matt would be able to support new story lines in the 4001 era.

So this picture was posted on Twitter in regards to the writer retreat. Does this mean FVL is not writing for VEI anymore?

That is top flight A+ talent!

Could anyone imagined that level if talent working for Valiant a few years ago.

Awesome picture. :clap:

Jeff Lemire as part of the writers retreat makes me think this will be a long term partnership that will go beyond one title/miniseries. Very cool.

Yeah, I have a feeling after A&A #25/delinquents - They will go their separate ways.

Three of the four have written more than one book for valiant. Maybe Lemire will be a regular too. I wouldn't mind seeing vei put all eight or nine titles in only these guys hands and see what they could do with it.

His last regular issue is next month's #34, but he and Sorrentino are also doing the Futures End one-shot in September.

I could get on board with that.

I have also liked what the new guys have brought to the last arc of Bloodshot & HARD Corps (Duffy Boudreau) and what I have seen of Armor Hunters: Bloodshot (Joe Harris).

And bring back Justin Jordan!

I'd love to sit in on that writer's retreat. What a great group to move VEI forward!

The 4 Horsemen - harbingers of doom for all other comic book companies!

It would be great if VEI had audio of these writer's retreats and release them some time in the future. I'd love to hear the process of building the Valiant universe.

Or maybe they are just a barber shop quartet!?! :?

THAT is an awesome idea. Just send the audio a couple years later to the OTV crew!
