Bleeding Cool Presents: Valiant's Full April 2024 Solicitations

Valiant 2024 April solicits include Punk Mambo, Bloodshot Unleashed: Reloaded, The Darques: Soulside and a X-O Manowar hardcover.

Remember the days when Valiant Entertainment would solicit just one book a month and sometimes not publish it? Look at them now, now that Valiant is working with Alien Books with you, with the full Valiant 2024 April solicits and solicitations as well as the rest of the Alien Books titles, before you'll see them anywhere else. So that's a new oneshot for Punk Mambo, a second issue of Bloodshot Unleashed: Reloaded which has switched from a 2-part 48-page prestige book to a 4-part 32-page stapled book, to better match the previous miniseries, Bloodshot Unleashed. The Darques gets a Soulside oneshot and X-O Manowar gets a hardcover. With launches of Momo: Legendary Warrior, Kerberus In The Silver Rain and Ciruelo, Lord Of Dragons from the Alien Books side.
