VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT FOR FEBRUARY

IMPERIUM #1

Written by Joshua Dysart, art by Doug Braithwaite, covers by Raul Allen.

Toyo Harada is the most dangerous human being on the planet. Imbued with incredible powers of the mind, he has spent his life guiding humanity from the shadows. But today he is a wanted man. His powers are public knowledge, his allies have turned to enemies, and he is hunted by every government on the planet. Instead of surrendering, Harada has one last unthinkable gambit to play: to achieve more, faster, and with less, he will build a coalition of the powerful, the unscrupulous and the insane. No longer content to demand a better future, he will recruit a violent legion from the darkest corners of the Earth to fight for it. The battle for utopia begins now.

DIVINITY #1

A shocking new vision of 21st century science fiction in an all-new prestige format limited series.

At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union -- determined to win the Space Race at any cost -- green lit a dangerously advanced mission. They sent a man farther into the cosmos than anyone has gone before or since. Lost in the stars, he encountered something unknown. Something that... changed him. Long thought lost and erased from the history books, he has suddenly returned, crash-landing in the Australian Outback. The few that have been able to reach him believe him to be a deity -- one who turned the scorched desert into a lush oasis. They say he can bend matter, space, and even time to his will. Earth is about to meet a new god. And he's a communist. How long can it be before the fist confrontation between mankind and Divinity begins?
