VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
Is it out yet? I did not receive it this month, but saw it was announced for an April release in one of those sidebars on the last page.

Did I miss this? Did it ever come out? If not, is this the first comic ever cancelled by (new) Valiant?

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
It was solicited in February for release in April at $2.99.
I think it was just an updated version of the prior handbook (2014), which was available as a one-dollar-debut.
Orders probably weren't worth printing it. Since it had no new story or anything, it probably was cancelled.

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
I have the 2015 version. And I think they could easily do this yearly.

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
I liked the 2015 version too. However, I think a new edition every 2yrs or so would be better and bring more diversity and content to the characters and their stories.Ramses818 wrote:I have the 2015 version. And I think they could easily do this yearly.

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
Anyone see the Valiant Spring 2016 teaser book? I just noticed a stack of them at my LCS. They had them hidden behind some rack near the door. I opened a pack and placed it with all of the other freebie stuff at the checkout line.

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
Maybe they decided to hold off because of the number of new characters & books coming mid-late this year? Brittania, Savage, Gen Zero... then they'd really have some new material to add in, kind of thing?

I think I've got a couple of them. DCBS just threw them in with my shipment.jmatt wrote:Anyone see the Valiant Spring 2016 teaser book? I just noticed a stack of them at my LCS.

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
It's possible previous years didn't sell as projected so no rush or desire to release it especially when they have so much going on atm

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
I like the later shipment. Makes sense to add characters from the newer books which will all be out by then plus we get updates from the 4001 event too - which we wouldn't have if the book came out early. Of course, I'm just speculating but I hope this is the case.ErikG wrote:According to ComicArk:

Re: VALIANT HANDBOOK 2016
Ive only been reading Valiant for two years, so I don't know if they done them in 12 & 13, but I have 14 & 15. This book has been TPD for I know 3-4 months. Its been on my pull the whole time, but I keep a good eye on things. I hope it releases next week. I really enjoy the issue.
