Alien break the rules of the Valiant Universe!

[Dallow Spicer1]

Bad news if true ….

Flamingo rises from the ashes in RESURGENCE OF THE VALIANT UNIVERSE, the can’t miss Valiant Comics crossover event arriving in comic shops September 18th.

Alien Books (and the villainous Dr. Silk) are set to dramatically break the rules of the Valiant Universe in the four-issue event series RESURGENCE OF THE VALIANT UNIVERSE!

Imagine a world free of disease, war, and death! A world where no one needs to fear death ever again. A world where all are united under the web of the enigmatic Dr. Silk and his Weavers! In RESURGENCE OF THE VALIANT UNIVERSE #1 by co-writers Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, Fred Van Lente, AJ Ampadu and artists Guillermo Fajardo & Julio Azamor, you’ll get your first glimpse at this new world order and how it affects the lives and allegiances of iconic Valiant Comics characters like X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Eternal Warrior, Ninjak, Ivar, Rai, Livewire, Faith and more.

Makes sense given the premise of Dr. Silk creating immortality.

i just hope they show how Master Darque answers to this. A world without death is not good for him.

I don't see how if the premise is that Silk can undo death. To undo that character's return they'd have to be killed again, no?

Remember Divinity when he was battling Myshka and for s short time they created an alternate history where there was a Soviet XO, Bloodshot etc? …well like that

[Juki]

I am probably missing something. But, I don’t see where it says Flamingo returns. Oh, now I see…. “Flamingo rises….”

But, if death is “undone.” I guess you could bring back anyone.

But, as MOTA stated; Darque has to be angry (and possibly weakened?)

Did MotA get hacked? Is he going to say later VH1 contradicting Rai 0 is ok now?

Are the situations comparable, though? Is Silk altering the fabric of reality, or did he merely resurrect a dead person?

Same.

[ManofTheAtom]

Could Silk and Darque be working together to bamboozle the world into believing that the former has found the means to resurrect the dead?

That's just necromancy through science rather than magic.

Could Silk be Oz and Darque the man behind the curtain?

SEE, CHICLO? Science and magic CAN be the same thing...

Honestly, this sounds lame af and fanfic-ish. But probably not as lame as what the actual plot is going to be...

[syzhang28]

Also, is it really so hard to not break the few rules Valiant stands for and fans want. Consequences are important in stories.

[Ryan]

Rules can be broken if it's done in the right way. But this sounds dumb and like bad sci-fi. Not surprising in the least if you've actually read any of the current books.

100% agree. VH1 and VEI both did a good job of breaking this rule tbh. Bloodshot essentially dies all the time and comes back. Deathmate died and came back in The Valiant. Both were awesome and had consequences.

Bloodshot does not die. The nanites regenerate his injuries and organs or sustain his life when he suffers what would otherwise be traumatic injuries.

What Silk is doing is reviving the dead, which is something that, to date, only necromancers and the immortals transformed by the Boon have been able to do. So, either he has reassembled or recreated the Boon, is working with a necromancer, or has found a third means to revive the dead.

As usual, so much wrong with your take. Gross lack of comprehensive reading of the comics and probably some misunderstanding what you have read and a healthy dose of "Shooter said it in an interview so it must be true' even though the stories do the opposite.

Well he’s right about Bloodshot, he doesn’t ‘die’ each time.
Agree on the Kay McHenry coming back from the dead as Deathmate was a bit dodgy.

Good point, I’d forgotten that.

[The Harbinger]

Screw it, it sounds bad, but at least they're going for something. I thought the relaunch has been decent, but also forgettable and more announcing "hey Valiant is still around" instead of making good stories. Ninjak/Roku only thing I've really thought is hitting a good stride.

Getting a Dr. Silk/Darque team up sounds interesting enough to mean something. Do it right, avoid YA drama, and this could pay off with some more attention.


Also lol that VEI completely abandoned Stanchek. Granted, Harada was a more interesting character, but we're to be more interested in how Faith and Livewire feel about Flamingo's return?

Mota doesn't read any of the Alien comics and has no plans to. He just wants to 'defend' Alien comics in an effort to score points/befriend the employees. His arguments are not made in good faith or from a true Valiant comic reader perspective.

Well Alien are publishing a lot of female heavy books at the moment (hi TheFerg ) so maybe Stanchek doesn’t fit into that. TBH I’d rather they leave him alone until they have a writer you can do the character justice.

That's not true in the least. I'll read them after I have a chance to catch up from where I left off, which will take time when I can.
