This winter, don’t miss your chance to jump into two critically acclaimed comics with special encore presentations from the best reviewed publisher in the industry!
First, after tearing through three sold-out printings at the distributor level, Valiant’s primal origin story makes its return to stores yet again with the SAVAGE #1 FOURTH PRINTING! Following the runaway success of DIVINITY, WAR MOTHER, and BRITANNIA, get ready to meet an all-new kind of hero as acclaimed writer B. Clay Moore (Hawaiian Dick) and explosive artists Clayton Henry (Harbinger Wars) and Lewis LaRosa (Bloodshot Reborn) present Valiant’s next major icon in a skin-shearing origin debut!
As praise continues to build for Valiant’s latest hit series, discover why critics can’t get enough of SAVAGE!

Then, out of Valiant’s reality shattering event, DIVINITY III: STALINVERSE, experience the first of four pivotal one-shots chronicling the Stalinverse’s subversive spread in DIVINITY III: KOMANDAR BLOODSHOT #1! The history behind the reordered Valiant Universe as we know it is revealed when New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire (Inhumans Vs. X-Men, Bloodshot U.S.A.) and superstar artist Clayton Crain (Carnage, 4001 A.D.) re-assign the KGB’s deadliest covert operative from Mother Russia to the mountains of Colorado to eliminate a freedom-fighting terror cell charged with spreading the infection of American patriotism!
He’s put down protests, led the purge of political undesirables, and executed dozens of traitors to the Soviet super-state. His name is Komandar Bloodshot…and his existence is a hushed whisper among the terrified populace of the 21st century’s global Soviet Union. But just who is this unrelenting enforcer of state superiority… and what is the shocking truth about his power, his allegiances, and his true identity?
The will of the people have made it so: DIVINITY III: KOMANDAR BLOODSHOT #1 is a wide-screen epic that can’t be missed!
