While I'm guessing that Bloodshot Salvation will be announced soon, Harbinger Wars 2 is NOT this years crossover event. It it coming out in 2018 around the time of the Harbinger movie releasing. Probably next summers main event.

Seems to me like VEI has usually gone fairly light on published books per month in the first few months of the year, but only 6 titles here is kind of surprising! I'm sure it'll ramp back up by the summer :thumb:

Odd placement for a lens flair. What exactly is going on there?

I thought the same thing of both of these covers. But ooh la la the Roku variant I must have. And I can only hope that Valiant goes no further towards Grimm Fairy Tales or Zombie Tramp variant territory.

Mostly.

With Roku's connection to Darque (and the previous image you posted) there's clearly some kind of genitalia-themed somethingorother going on here.

Expect freaky, leg-crossing-inducing stuff in this next arc.

Posted the Ninjak #26 (Toula Lotay 1:50) on the Valiant Universe Instagram Fan Page.

It pulled in over 1,000+ "Likes" in the first 24 hours, which is a solid indication of public visual appeal above the norm.

Some covers/variants have a tendency to become sought out not only due to scarcity, but also for visual appeal. This may be one of those.

Presently, Ninjak is selling in the 6,000 copy range, which would indicate (to me) that few of these 1:50 would hit the market (e.g. Bloodshot #25 Hitch 1:50, etc).

Of course I've been wrong before.

I tried to get a Ninjak #25 1:50 from DCBS and was given a credit since there weren't enough preorders. I have to imagine issue #26 will be harder to acquire.

That Ninjak #26 has a solid Bob Layton variant. Dino just tweeted a pic.
