\n
BREAKTHROUGH<\/strong>\u00a0is a boundary-shattering lineup of new #1s from\u00a0Valiant Entertainment<\/strong>\u00a0that will serve as perfect jumping-on points for new fans while expanding the shared universe. BREAKTHROUGH offers every reader four new gateways to the rich storytelling of Valiant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to reveal BREAKTHROUGH, the next step in the continued success of the Valiant Universe that builds toward a full year of exciting announcements,\u201d Valiant’s\u00a0Senior Editorial Director Robert Meyers<\/strong>\u00a0told Syfy Wire<\/a>. \u201cThese are extraordinary stories told by master storytellers, featuring comics\u2019 most compelling villain, Toyo Harada; the main stage debut of Punk Mambo; the evolution of the future; and perhaps the scariest assembly of superspies the Valiant Universe has ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Breaking through this March is the previously announced\u00a0THE LIFE AND DEATH OF TOYO HARADA<\/strong>\u2013 a heart-wrenching, character-driven tale about the world’s most powerful superhuman facing his final battle \u2013 coming from Eisner Award-nominated writer\u00a0Joshua Dysart<\/strong>\u00a0(HARBINGER) and a rotating cast of awe-inspiring artists, including\u00a0CAFU<\/strong>\u00a0(RAI),\u00a0Mico Suayan<\/strong>\u00a0(BLOODSHOT REBORN),\u00a0Lewis LaRosa<\/strong>(BLOODSHOT SALVATION), and\u00a0Adam Pollina<\/strong>\u00a0(X-Force<\/em>).<\/p>\n

From the twisted minds of\u00a0Cullen Bunn<\/strong>\u00a0(Venom<\/em>) and\u00a0Adam Gorham<\/strong>\u00a0(Rocket<\/em>) comes the debut of\u00a0PUNK MAMBO<\/strong>\u00a0in April. This five-issue limited series, about a British voodoo priestess lurking just outside of New Orleans, unleashes a supernatural adventure with equal parts terror and humor.<\/p>\n

FALLEN WORLD<\/strong>\u00a0by mastermind writer\u00a0Dan Abnett<\/strong>\u00a0(Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>) and astonishing artist\u00a0Adam Pollina<\/strong>\u00a0(X-Force<\/em>) is a five-issue event series beginning in May that will pull readers into a captivating cyberpunk future unlike any they\u2019ve ever seen before. In the year 4002 AD, the cyborg samurai called Rai will face an impossible battle for the fate of humanity.<\/p>\n

The slate races forward with\u00a0KILLERS<\/strong>\u00a0from acclaimed writer\u00a0B. Clay Moore<\/strong>\u00a0(SAVAGE) and energetic artist\u00a0Fernando Dagnino<\/strong>\u00a0(Suicide Squad<\/em>), a non-stop thrill ride as the deadliest superspies on the planet compete to claim the ultimate prize, coming in July.<\/p>\n

Four new series, four boundary-breaking tales to experience. New fans will love the wide range of stories and genres, while Valiant superfans will make new discoveries about their favorite characters. BREAKTHROUGH will propel Valiant into its breathtaking second half of 2019, featuring surprises, returns, and reveals that longtime fans have been demanding!<\/p><\/div>\n
