The breakout Valiant comic book sensation in her own new ongoing series.

You hear “because you demanded it” from comic book publishers but with multiple reprints, Faith’s ongoing title really is giving the fans what they want.

The high-flying hero from Harbinger that captured the imagination of the world is back with a new comics milestone.

With Faith #1 writer Jody Houser joins artists Pere Perez, Marguerite Sauvage and Colleen Doran to continue Faith Herbert’s adventures.

Valiant shared a first look inside the hero’s first issue of the new ongoing:

“In a city under siege by robots, aliens, monsters and even worse… celebrities, there is only one woman the people of Los Angeles can count on: the stratospheric superhero called Faith! Aspiring reporter by day and dedicated crime-fighter by night, Faith has tackled every obstacle in her path with confidence – like those crushing deadlines at work, the long-distance boyfriend half a world away, and the missing back issues that plague her comics collection! But, unbeknownst to her, Faith is about to collide with the one force she never saw coming: an up-and-coming super-villain bent on snuffing her out once and for all! But who is lurking behind the mask of her new foe…and could they just be the one person capable of rendering Faith powerless?”

We asked Jody Houser about her plans for Faith just after the ongoing title was announced: Continue reading FAITH #1 PREVIEW

A fan-favorite comic book hero and writer are soaring to comic book success.

At Emerald City Comicon we talked with rising star Jody Houser following huge news:

Just before the Seattle event Valiant Entertainment announced Faith, her four-part limited series was becoming an ongoing title then Houser was announced as writer of a new book in a DC Comics imprint.

It’s the superstar rise of Valiant’s Faith that’s earning Houser huge attention from fans and the industry.

Faith Herbert is the breakout character from the pages of Harbinger who launched into solo stardom this past January. The sold-out Faith #1 is going to be reprinted for a fifth time and the limited series becomes an ongoing book in July. The plus size superhero continues to win new readers and mainstream attention making her a pop culture phenomenon.

The double shot of exciting career news comes as fans packed panels at the Seattle event to hear the writer talk about Faith, body diversity in books and her “first year in comics” as one panel was dubbed. I asked her about the old saying, how many years does it take to become an overnight sensation? Continue reading JODY HOUSER on FAITH At ECCC
