As they promised, CBR have been given the news about a new Valiant series. Called The Valiant. From Matt Kindt, Jeff Lemire and Paola Rivera starring Eternal Warrior, Geomancer and Bloodshot.

A four issue mini-series intended to have vast consequences, Lemire calls it "a story that encompasses the entire Valiant Universe and its history. It goes way back to the dawns of the universe, to the very seeds of it centuries ago all the way up to the modern day. It really encompasses the entire breadth of the continuity."

And of course, guns. Lots and lots of guns.

UPDATE: Here's the full solicit:

An entirely self-contained comics event spotlighting Bloodshot, Eternal Warrior, Geomancer, and a cast of heroes and villains from across the Valiant Universe, THE VALIANT is a visionary new adventure from three of the greatest creative talents in comics today.

The Eternal Warrior has protected the Earth for more than 10,000 years. A master of countless weapons and long forgotten martial arts, he is guided by the Geomancers – those who speak for the Earth. During his long watch, the Eternal Warrior has failed three times. Each time, the Geomancer was killed…and a new dark age for humanity began. Each time, he was unable to stop The Immortal Enemy – a monstrous force of nature. A civilization killer. A horror that appears differently each time it arrives…and whose seemingly only purpose is to bring disorder and darkness to the world. Now, the time has come for The Immortal Enemy to return once more. But, this time, the Eternal Warrior will be ready. This time, he has a force greater than any single warrior. This time, he has…THE VALIANT.

Handy day for this to drop… the Valiant editorial retreat is well underway right now in New York. From L to R: Matt Kindt, Robert Venditti, Jeff Lemire and Joshua Dysart..
