Published Mon, 04 Jun 2018 20:10:47 -0500

Valiant has unveiled all the exclusives they plan to offer at Denver Comic Con, and with the mile high city's legal recreational marijuana program, we figure it's probably best to write it all down so nobody forgets. Maaaan.

First up, a Valiant High #1 variant by Joe Eisma:

While you're at the Valiant Booth, check out the VALIANT HIGH #1 Denver Comic Con Exclusive Variant, featuring a limited-edition cover by Eisner-nominated artist Joe Eisma (Morning Glories, Archie)! From rising star Daniel Kibblesmith (QUANTUM AND WOODY!, Lockjaw) and Eisner Award-winning artist Derek Charm (Jughead), get ready for your first day of school inside a hilarious reimagining of Valiant's award-winning superhero universe – one where the next world-ending cataclysm will have to wait until after prom night!

And also an exclusive Livewire t-shirt:

Also, gear up for HARBINGER WARS 2 with this Con-Exclusive Livewire T-Shirt, featuring art from the cover of the incredible HARBINGER WARS 2: PRELUDE #1, written by Eric Heisserer (Arrival) with art by Raúl Allén (SECRET WEAPONS) and Patricia Martín (BLOODSHOT REBORN)! Pushed to the brink by the government she once served, Toyo Harada's former star pupil has made an irreversible decision… and deactivated America's power supply in a last-ditch bid to save the extraordinary individuals called "psiots" from extinction. As a nation goes dark, the paths of our world's most powerful heroes are converging… and the stage is now set for the most cataclysmic confrontation in the history of the Valiant Universe!

Valiant will also be doing portfolio reviews, if you're a masochist looking to break into comics:
