Valiant is proud to present your first look at\u00a0INCURSION #1<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0FIRST ISSUE of AN UNEARTHLY NEW SERIES<\/strong>\u00a0by celebrated writers\u00a0Andy Diggle\u00a0<\/strong>(SHADOWMAN) and\u00a0Alex Paknadel\u00a0<\/strong>(Friendo<\/em>), with superstar artist\u00a0Doug Braithwaite\u00a0<\/strong>(X-O MANOWAR)!<\/p>\n

On\u00a0February 20th<\/strong>, one of Valiant\u2019s most iconic and beloved heroes, the Eternal Warrior, emerges to lead the charge in an all-new limited event series, featuring the stunning premiere of a completely new villain to the Valiant Universe \u2013 a ruthless intergalactic conqueror known as\u00a0Imperatrix Virago!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cValiant fans will know that the Deadside is far more than just an afterlife. It\u2019s a living, breathing ecosystem with its own customs and flora and fauna,\u201d writer Alex Paknadel told Paste. \u201cImperatrix Virago doesn\u2019t care about all that, though; for her, it\u2019s a transport medium that will take her to any world in the universe where there is life. In other words, it\u2019s the place from which she strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond the margins of\u00a0human\u00a0reason lies a realm\u00a0known\u00a0as the Deadside, where the souls of the dearly departed linger \u2013 and where demons wait for us in the dark. For countless ages, Earth\u2019s chosen protectors have guarded the veil between both worlds \u2013 but there are other doors to the Deadside, through which gruesome terrors from galaxies untold can trespass… With the planet\u2019s freedom at stake, can the reigning Geomancer and her steadfast Eternal Warrior stand together against an invasion unlike any they\u2019ve ever witnessed?<\/p>\n

Following in the footsteps of\u00a0FAITH: DREAMSIDE #1<\/strong>\u00a0this past September,\u00a0BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>\u00a0later this month in November, and\u00a0LIVEWIRE #1\u00a0<\/strong>in December, INCURSION represents the latest series in Valiant\u2019s\u00a0BEYOND\u00a0<\/strong>initiative, carrying the critically acclaimed publisher forward into 2019 with an exploration into the Valiant Universe\u2019s hidden depths!<\/p>\n

From critically acclaimed writer Andy Diggle, rising star writer Alex Paknadel, and legendary artist Doug Braithwaite\u00a0comes\u00a0a story that will rock the Valiant Universe across dimensions in\u00a0INCURSION #1<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0Doug Braithwaite<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Roberto de la Torre\u00a0<\/strong>(NINJA-K)!<\/p>\n
