“Any opportunity that we get to be on the ground floor with our readers and fellow creators is very important to us, so we want to make sure we reward them for visiting us at shows,” explains Alien Books Director Matias Timarchi. “We hope to see many Valiant fans stop by our booth at San Diego for both the creator signing events and the special ashcan editions of BLOODSHOT and RESURGENCE. It’s a very exciting time to be a Valiant Comics fan!”

Conrad and Eisner Award nominated artist Liam Sharp, the team behind X-O MANOWAR: UNCONQUERED, together for the first time in-person on Thursday, July 25 at Booth #1807 for a 45-minute signing session. A limited amount of the RESURGENCE #1 ASHCAN EDITION (co-written by Cloonan & Conrad) and X-O MANOWAR UNCONQUERED PRESTIGE #1 will be available for purchase at the booth. RESURGENCE OF THE VALIANT UNIVERSE #1 arrives in comic shops on September 18.
