Valiant has been doing a series of teasers to launch some of the things coming with their relaunch this year, and they’ve all been pretty great (especially the return of Ninjak!). But now, as a twist from the past look at heroes reborn, we’re now given the look at two villains who will be joining the Valiantverse.
First off, we’ve got a look at a brand new villain known as the One Percent in Van Lente and Henry’s “Archer & Armstrong,” which literally only makes me want to buy that title more. “A&A” seems to be a thematic follow-up to “Incredible Hercules” in many ways, and we’re loving every tease in that direction we’ve gotten, with the One Percent being a villainous organization wearing bull masks being in line with that.
Secondly, though, it looks like Project Rising Spirit is getting a reboot in “Bloodshot.” Old fans of “Bloodshot” will certainly remember the organization (it created the character after all; the Weapon X to his Wolverine, if you will), so it’ll be interesting to see what direction Swierczynski goes with it in the new direction.
For the two promo pieces from Valiant Entertainment, take a look below:
Profits will rise, nations will fall.
