#ValiantComics characters don't work with over a decade's worth of history weighing on their shoulders. The selling point for me was always the tight continuity. What happened in Valiant happened. But 120 issues of wild comic events is a lot of stuff to add to one's CV.
So I guess Valiant will do a zombie thing for a bit and I will be cautiously optimistic about the slick Valiant Beyond reboot. *hoping IDW will get the books actually published.*

I've been reading the #MarvelComics event X-Manhunt and the most recent similar crossover I've read was the #ValiantComics 'verse-finale Resurgence. It strikes me that I'm actually quite glad Valiant is getting a reboot.
Marvel's 50+ years of continuity is some how a feature rather than a bug. I don't know who half of these characters are or what events they are referring to. 40 years ago Kitty Pryde was about 15 and now she's about 30, natch.
...
So it looks like #ValiantComics isn't disappearing for now.
Valiant is published by Alien Books, distributed by IDW, distributed by Penguin Random House. Makes sense.

I'd like to give a recommendation for DriveThru Comics. I buy #ValiantComics from them all the time.
There is no Comixology Bezos bullshit. No DRM contamination. You give them money, they give you a PDF. It's that simple. You can download your PDF multiple times; I don't think there's a limit. I love that they even warn you if you try to buy something twice.

If Sony is smart they buy out Paramount for Star Trek and snatch up DMG Entertainment for Valiant Comics. With those two properties in hand they would be able to compete with Disney. After that the smartest thing to do would be selling the Spider-Man rights back to Disney in order to bankroll the sustainable development of their Star Trek and Valiant Comics properties by paying real talent to draw up a ten to twenty year development plan.
There are enough unique Valiant Comics characters in that shared universe to rival both DC and Marvel but no one's done dick with them, and they are less well known so you can try new shit. #sony #paramount #valiantcomics

Falleció a los 94 años Don Perlin, dibujante de #comics que en #Marvel co-creó a #MoonKnight y dibujó por muchos años a los Defenders, para luego ser uno de los principales artistas de #ValiantComics, donde ço-creó a #Bloodshot.
Perlin comenzó su carrera a fines de los 40s, dibujando todo tipo de géneros, como horror, romance, y crimen, en editoriales como Fox Features, Harvey, DC, y Atlas (la futura Marvel). También fue dibujante fantasma de Will Eisner en la tira periódica de The Spirit.
Dibujó durante unos años comics de guerra parar Charlton, pero luego dejó de conseguir trabajos fijos de historieta, y se reconvirtió en dibujante técnico. Ocasionalmente dibujaba algún comic después de su horario fijo, hasta que en 1974 recibió una llamada de Roy Thomas. Thomas le pidió que dibujara historias de horor para Marvel, tomando en primera instancia el arte de Werewolf By night. Allí, co-crearía a Moon Knight junto a Doug Moench.
Por muchos años trabajó en Marvel, dibujando durante The Defenders entre 1980 y 1986, con varios guionistas, incluyendo a JM DeMatteis. También trabajó en otros títulos de la editorial, como Ghost Rider y Transformers, dibujando basicamente todos los personajes importantes de Marvel en algún momento.
En 1991 se fue a Valiant (encabezada por Jim Shooter), tanto editando como dibujando, creando nuevos personajes, entre ellos, Bloodshot, junto a los guionistas Kevin VanHook and Bob Layton, y trabajó en todo tipo de títulos de la editorial, como Solar, Man of the Atom, con guión de Shooter.
Valiant fue comprada por Acclaim a mediados de los 90s, y Perlin basicamente se retiró, aunque hacía comisiones y algún trabajo de comic ocasional. Su último trabajo publicado fue una historieta de Scooby-Doo para DC en 1999, hasta que en 2012 volvió junto a VanHook para una historia corta de Bloodshot.
Perlin ganó en 1997 National Cartoonists Society Comic Books Award. Estaba casado con Becky Perlin, y juntos tuvieron dos hijas y tres hijos.
