Valiant SDCC Retailer Lunch Showed Off Jon Davis-Hunt & Liam Sharp

Yesterday saw the return of the Diamond Retailer Lunch at San Diego Comic-Con  San Diego Comic-Con, the likes of which we have not seen since 2019. I mean, comic bookshop retailers have certainly had lunch in that period, but not on Diamond Comic Distributors' dime and not at San Diego. In that period, they have also lost a number of publishers such as DC Comics and IDW, though Marvel is very kindly sticking around. No sign of Dark Horse, Image, Dynamite though, as well as Marvel it's just AfterShock, Valiant and Boom Studios sponsoring this. It appeared that Bleeding Cool were the only press who have turned up, with Jimmy Leszczynski and his son, Jimmy Leszczynski. I think there were numbers in those names. You can read all about announcements and presentations from a number of publishers by following the Bleeding Cool Diamond Retailer Lunch tag. Such as Valiant Entertainment's Bloodshot action figure cover variants, the Bloodshot artwork of Jon Davis-Hunt and the X-O Manowar painted art by Liam Sharp

Bloodshot's mission to stop rogue super soldiers takes him to Howl, Michigan, where dangerous levels of radiation have seeped into the town. All the evidence points to the now-defunct Lombard Motors plant-and a wounded soldier whose brain was placed inside a robotic chassis with nuclear capabilities. No matter what happens, there's going to be fallout!
