Valiant is proud to announce that\u00a0VALIANT HIGH #1 (of 4)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0FIRST ISSUE<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0AN UPROARIOUS ALL-AGES ESCAPADE<\/strong>\u00a0from rising star\u00a0Daniel Kibblesmith<\/strong>\u00a0(QUANTUM AND WOODY!,\u00a0The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em>) and Eisner Award-winning artist\u00a0Derek Charm<\/strong>\u00a0(Jughead, Star Wars Adventures<\/em>) \u2013 is coming to comic shops everywhere just in time for summer vacation!\u00a0On\u00a0May 30th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, get ready for your first day of school inside a hilarious reimagining of Valiant’s award-winning superhero universe \u2013 one where the next world-ending cataclysm will have to wait until after prom night!<\/p>\n

Before they became legends, the world’s most formidable heroes were roaming the halls at Valiant High \u2013 a super-powered preparatory academy where Aric “X-O Manowar” Dacia is a record-setting running back, Colin “Ninjak” King is a debonair foreign exchange student, and Coach Bloodshot is way, way too into dodgeball. Now, Amanda “Livewire” McKee and her best friend, Faith “Zephyr” Herbert, are taking it all in for the first time at the one high school where power trumps popularity!<\/p>\n

On\u00a0May 30th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, find out firsthand why Valiant’s first dose of all-ages adventure is a pitch-perfect entry point for new fans and longtime readers alike:<\/p>\n

In the tradition of Archie and DC Super Hero Girls, this side-splitting adventure takes place outside of Valiant’s standard continuity\u2026and comes packed with all-new incarnations of virtually every Valiant hero and villain!<\/p>\n

These extraordinary students have pep, popularity, and untapped potential… Now, get your own spot in the freshman class that launched a thousand legends when all-star creators Daniel Kibblesmith and Derek Charm come crashing into comic shops\u00a0on\u00a0May 30th<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0VALIANT HIGH #1 (of 4<\/strong>) \u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0David Lafuente<\/strong>\u00a0(Ultimate Spider-Man, New Mutants<\/em>) and\u00a0Sina Grace<\/strong>\u00a0(Iceman, Lil’ Depressed Boy<\/em>)!<\/p>\n
