Valiant Comics' August 2025 Solicits, Bloodshot & Tales Of Shadowman

Valiant Comics' August 2025 solicits and solicitations via IDW and Alien Books, Valiant Beyond: Bloodshot #1 and Valiant Beyond: Tales Of Shadowman #1

From the new IDW August/September 2025 solicits and solicitations, the news that Alien Books – and thus Valiant – is being solicited through IDW, and thus part of the Penguin Random House distribution network to comic book stores, rather than just Diamond Comic Distributors, as Valiant was hit hard by their bankruptcy. And indeed, it looks like Diamond will no longer be an option at all anymore. Alien Books states;

ALIEN BOOKS HAS LANDED AT IDW!
We're thrilled to present Alien Books, the newest addition to the IDW catalog!
Kicking things off with a bang, they're introducing an ultra-accessible pathway into the realm of Valiant Comics with the all-new Valiant Beyond universe!
