Valiant is back at Emerald City Comicon in a big way. The publisher is kicking off a 25th Anniversary Convention Tour in Seattle to celebrate history and what’s next with major announcements expected.
From This Friday, March 27th through Sunday, March 29th, Valiant welcomes fans and new readers at the Washington State Convention Center for a weekend packed with programming, special guests, and ECCC 2015 exclusives that can’t be found anywhere else.
Valiant will be at Booth #1803 all weekend long to revisit 25 years of Valiant history with a complete collection of trade paperbacks and hardcovers featuring the indelible heroes, volatile villains, and world-class creators that shaped Valiant into one of the most celebrated publishers in comics history.
Valiant will also be debuting two ECCC-only offerings for sale, beginning with the NINJAK #1 ECCC Exclusive Variant – featuring an all-new, never-before-seen cover by fan favorite artist Ian McGinty (Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors)!
