I say it at every opportunity: New is great.

New is how you avoid an editor yelling "So what the *SQUEE* are we gonna do with Captain America in issue 639?!"

Absolutely. Original VALIANT was great because they first took old characters and reinvented them, then they came up with NEW ones. VEI has done a great job rejuvenating the old VH1 and now they're bringing in more and more new ones. Divinity, Savage, War Mother, and many others that may not have their own titles, but are still prominent in the new universe.

I like new. And look, I love the old characters but VEI needs to expand their character ranks with new characters. I love Divinity, Savage and War Mother.

I'd argue that Matt Kindt has created more new characters than any other VEI writer. There's Divinity & crew, the Shadow Seven, the Red Brigade, tons of 4001 characters, and assumedly a bunch of new characters in Rapture.

...and there'll be plenty more in XO'17 and Eternity, too!

Very curious to see just where some of these characters head. Maybe the most curious is the Red Brigade, will we every see/hear from them again. Seems like the 4001 group we will for certain, with the 4001 Bloodshot and 4001 Warmother. I know we will probably see a few of the Shadow Seven again, just makes sense whenever Ninjak is involved.

Guess that's why we read, love the new characters and what VEI will do with them.

And with an upcoming title like 'Faith & the Future Force', ANY character from ANY timeline could show up for as long or as short of time as VEI wants or needs! And since it's all via time travel, there's no reason why she can't be doing all the adventures in that book and still be wherever she's needed in the regular Harbinger: Renegade book!

Can someone who has more time than me do a count up of how many characters each writer has mostly created to date? I'd be really interested in seeing the results of a comparison of that :)

It's probably a very close between:

Dysart - Harbinger, HWars, Imperium, and BS & Hard Corps (w. C.Gage)
Kindt - Rai, Divinity, Unity, Ninjak, The Valiant (w Lemire), XO'17
Venditti - XO, Armor Hunters, Wrath, BOD, Awakening
