A unique entry-point that's perfect for new fans and longtime readers alike, Valiant High presents a hilarious reimagining of Valiant's award-winning superhero universe - one where the next world-ending cataclysm will have to wait until after prom night! Before they became legends, the world's most formidable heroes were roaming the halls at Valiant High - a super-powered preparatory academy where Aric "X-O Manowar" Dacia is a record-setting running back, Colin "Ninjak" King is a debonair foreign exchange student, and Coach Bloodshot is way, way too into dodgeball. Now, Amanda "Livewire" McKee and her best friend, Faith "Zephyr" Herbert, are more

May 29, 2018Valiant High #1 is a fresh and fun reimagining of superheroes as high school students. In this debut issue, Kibblesmith creates dynamic characters that draw the reader in and keeps them interested until the very last second, and then, just a little longer. Read Full Review

Feb 22, 2017The first issue is a great debut and while it relies on familiar character types and conflict, the use of classic Valiant characters in this new setting is fresh and entertaining. I can't wait to see what the further issues bring and hopefully we get some more. Read Full Review

May 30, 2018This comic is designed solely for fans of Valiant Entertainment. The characters and plot are the most clich versions of a high school drama one could imagine, even going so far as to reference She's All That in the dialogue. Read Full Review

Jun 07, 2018It would be okay to use this book as an introduction to Valiant if you havent read any of the other books in the universe, even though it will be more meaningful if you know most of the characters. If you dont love it, though, please dont let it influence your future decisions about Valiant, which really has an outstanding variety of comics in its repertoire. Overall, I liked the idea of Valiant High more than the execution, but I will be checking in for the second issue because its somewhat charming and Id like to see more of the gang regardless.

May 29, 2018Valiant High #1 is a cute idea, and it could have worked out better than it does. However, the characters are simply crammed into generic high school drama/comedy roles, and the reader is left to be bored with how traditional the plot and execution really is. The art is quite good, but it doesnt save the narrative. It is funny at times, and Faith is as endearing as ever. Its not so bad that I must say away, but I cant recommend it either. Read Full Review
