VALIANT'S UNITY LAUNCHES IN NOVEMBER

Valiant Entertainment has announced writer Matt Kindt, artist Doug Braithwaite and colorist Brian Reber as its creative team on Unity, a monthly series launching on Nov. 13.

Here's how the book is described:

"To kill a king...he has created an army. The world's most dangerous man, Toyo Harada, has been struck by the one thing he never thought possible -- fear. Halfway across the globe, a new power threatens to topple modern civilization and, to preempt the cataclysm that is to come, Harada will unite the most lethal, most volatile, most unforgiving team the world has ever known -- Unity. Their mission: defeat the warrior king armed with the universe's most powerful weapon. Kill X-O Manowar!"

"Unity is the single biggest thing that Valiant has thrown its weight behind since the launch of the company with X-O Manowar #1," said Valiant CEO and chief creative officer Dinesh Shamdasani.

In anticipation of launching the publisher's first super-team title, both Braithwaite and Reber have signed Valiant-exclusive contracts.

In another first for Valiant, Unity #1 will be 100 percent returnable for qualifying retailers and will feature five limited Pullbox Exclusive Variants from artists Bryan Hitch, J.G. Jones, Travel Foreman, Paolo Rivera and Clayton Crain. Neal Adams provides an incentive cover.
