Comme chaque année, Valiant Entertainment dévoile les nouveaux titres qui feront leur apparition dans le catalogue de l’éditeur en 2015:

Un des acteurs majeurs du renouveau Valiant, le scénariste Joshua Dysart (Harbingeur), fera équipe avec le dessinateur Doug Braithwaite (Armor Hunters) sur la série Imperium qui voit le puissant psy Toyo Harada rassembler un groupe de marginaux et de psychopathes venus des quatre coins du Monde pour faire face à ses anciens alliés.

ONGOING SERIES | BEGINNING FEBRUARY 2015

A daring new superhero saga from New York Times best-selling creator Joshua Dysart – writer of of the Harvey-Award nominated series Harbinger – and superstar artist Doug Braithwaite!

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.[/quote]

[quote]I’m a real context-oriented guy, and I saw a chance here to do something I’ve been unconsciously working towards for a lot my career: A chance to fully engage in the political context of a world with super-powered beings in it. Now, I know I’m not the first to do this, but my take is more « politicalsploitation. » Remember Captain America punching out Hitler? I want to do that today, with my characters. I want them to take the world stage, as we see it right now, and fuck shit up.

I’m not sure if that’s ethical storytelling, it very well may not be, but it sounds like a crazy fun thing to do. And I couldn’t do that until I exposed Harada to the world, until I made him an uncontrollable force. Thematically, it’s a trip, since the incarnation of Harada we know from « Harbinger » was really a bit of a comment on capitalism. But now we can explore issues of democracy and totalitarianism. Which, with the record low voter turnout in America and democracy under the boot of extremism in flashpoints all across the world, seems like a pretty topical topic.

And besides, I don’t want to just do the same thing over and over again with Harada. I could’ve kept the status quo of the Renegades forever, you know? Just let them be who they are, do their thing. But that’s because they’re just kids. Writing them is a more human, down to Earth experience. Harada is an opera. He’s big and bold. He affects the arc of human history. It makes more sense for him to have tremendous shifts in his path. [/quote]

The telepathic mastermind. The alien assassin. The mercenary super-soldier. The mad scientist. And the killer robot with a soul. Toyo Harada has collected the monsters that will make his vision of world peace a reality. Now he pursues the most difficult and desirable asset of all – the spaceman with all the powers of a god – the outcast who can rewrite reality with a thought – the man who is no longer a man – the all-powerful being who is simply called Divinity.[/quote]

[quote=« Dysart »]We’ve tried to make him a leading man in a strange sort of way, by giving the ensemble around him the narrative voice, and having Imperium be about the way they perceive him. #7 is the first time since the Harbinger: Omegas miniseries that we’re actually telling a story from Harada’s point of view. I’m love shifting narrative perspective, because I think it makes the book expansive and I mostly want to see characters « punching up », that is, facing something greater than themselves. Up until now, Harada really hasn’t faced anything categorically greater than himself. Divinity is the perfect character to allow me to focus entirely on Harada, because Divinity makes Harada the underdog.

To answer the last part of your question, I think it may be a little more difficult to find humor and relatable emotion in a story with Harada as the protagonist, but that’s just part of the project’s challenge.[/quote]

You never saw this one coming…« BROKEN ANGELS » reaches its unbelievable climax as DIVINITY takes hold! Toyo Harada is the most powerful mortal man in the world. To build his imperium, he has collected monsters. Now he comes face to face with a god. Confronted by the unfathomable depths of the man who is no longer a man, who can only be called Divinity, Harada plunges his mind into infinity. Can even the unstoppable Harada survive the fall?[/quote]

Written by Joshua Dysart Art by Cafu Covers by Kano, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Juan Jose Ryp

“THE VINE IMPERATIVE” – PART 1! Toyo Harada’s war to save humanity by taking over the world roars on against the only enemy this planet cannot contain…a sinister network of undercover alien spies! A deadly chess game between Harada and the alien visitors called the Vine has been unfolding for decades. The Vine once even created the living weapon called LV-99 to assassinate their enemy, but failed. Today, as Harada executes his agenda upon Earth—and with LV-99 on his side this time—the Vine’s cold war finally turns infernally hot.[/quote]

“THE VINE IMPERATIVE” boils over!

The world is suspended within balances of power. Tense and delicate terms of peace, crisscrossing and humming just below the surface. The Vine plantings, undercover alien spies of a galaxy-spanning race, hold positions of influence all over the planet. Toyo Harada, Earth’s most unstoppable psiot, amassed a bedrock of power through his corporate, political, and super-powered maneuverings. A tenuous détente has long held between the slumbering giants, each with the world held loosely in their grip. Until now.

As Harada presses his gambit to wage war for utopia, the agents of the Vine who have watched him for decades move to keep the megalomaniac in check. And if Harada wants to save the world…he’ll have to get rid of the competition. Cold war turns red hot as New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (HARBINGER) and all-star Valiant artists CAFU (UNITY)and Juan Jose Ryp (NINJAK) unfold another chapter of IMPERIUM, the comic that Herotaku calls “an entertaining, compelling read month after month”![/quote]

[quote]As revealed on Comic Book Resources, Valiant is proud to announce “STORMBREAK” – a four-part jumping-on point and crucial new milestone for the Valiant Universe beginning in IMPERIUM #13! Reuniting the acclaimed creative team behind HARBINGER, jump on board here with a brand-new story arc as New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (HARBINGER WARS) and Harvey Award-nominated artist Khari Evans (Immortal Iron Fist) re-team for an essential new chapter of the series that will leave Valiant’s most notorious villain changed forever! Toyo Harada’s war for utopia is about to come to a brutal boiling point…and now two of the Valiant Universe’s most formidable forces – UNITY’s former team leader and psiot technopath, Livewire, and Project Rising Spirit’s tech-augmented strike force, the H.A.R.D. Corps – are about to the lead the front line of a no-holds-barred attack on Harada’s revolutionary team of monsters and malcontents!

“IMPERIUM is one of the most provocative, most daring, and most cerebral series anywhere in comics today,” said Editor Alejandro Arbona. “Joshua Dysart’s team of anti-heroes and ideologues has made IMPERIUM a title that is as disturbing as it is action-packed. Now, with Khari Evans coming aboard to deliver the same dynamic storytelling that made HARBINGER a milestone chapter in Valiant history, STORMBREAK is going to raise IMPERIUM’s already colossal stakes even higher. Without a doubt, the return of Livewire and H.A.R.D. Corps to Toyo Harada’s world is going to have widespread ramifications for the political landscape of the Valiant Universe.”

Toyo Harada will save the world…if he doesn’t doom it first. The revolutionary disruption that Harada and his team have launched – by deposing tyrants, housing refugees, and feeding the poor – has come at the expense of the world’s wealthiest nations. When the planet’s leaders have had enough, it will be decided: Toyo Harada must die. Now a crack unit of operatives will stand against Harada on the global stage…with his own former pupil Livewire taking him head-on! Meanwhile, Harada’s military lieutenant and Project Rising Spirit defector Gravedog is about to meet his match as the H.A.R.D. Corps’ own Major Charlie Palmer drops into the firefight of a lifetime!

This February, war comes raging back to Toyo Harada’s own doorstep for “STORMBREAK” in IMPERIUM #13 – featuring covers by all-star artists Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH), CAFU (UNITY), Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS), Ryan Lee (Uncanny Inhumans), and Juan Jose Ryp (NINJAK)! Join the series that Bloody Disgusting calls “the height of sophisticated comic book stories” right here as Joshua Dysart and Khari Evans – the Harvey Award-nominated team behind HARBINGER – pit the Valiant Universe’s most notorious superteam against the agents of the very system they’ve sworn to overthrow, beginning in IMPERIUM #13!

With his resources spread thin and his time running out, Toyo Harada must strike if his plan to save the world by force will ever succeed. After a push to take more of the African continent – deposing corrupt governments and toppling extremists – Harada’s moves on the world stage were too bold to ignore. The alien agents of the Vine race, who were entrenched throughout the global power structure, have seen their opportunity to strike…and Harada now has his opportunity to break their tenuous pact of peace and take them down.

But with a specialized Vine killer among his own team – the ruthless and lethal Lord Vine-99 – will Harada be able to hold tight the grip on his monster’s leash… or will LV-99 turn on his master at last?[/quote]

The revolutionary disruption that Harada and his team have launched – by deposing tyrants, housing refugees, and feeding the poor – has come at the expense of the world’s wealthiest nations. When the planet’s leaders have had enough, it will be decided: Toyo Harada must die. Now a crack unit of operatives will stand against Harada on the global stage…with his own former pupil Livewire taking him head-on. Meanwhile, Harada’s military lieutenant Gravedog meets his match when Charlie Palmer drops into the firefight of a lifetime…H.A.R.D. Corps vs. H.A.R.D. Corps!

On February 17th, Valiant’s heaviest hitters put Toyo Harada’s dream in the crosshairs for « STORMBREAK, » beginning in IMPERIUM #13! Featuring covers by acclaimed artists Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH), CAFU (UNITY), Clayton Henry (HARBINGER), Ryan Lee (Uncanny Inhumans), and Juan Jose Ryp (NINJAK), the Harvey Award-nominated team behind HARBINGER returns to lay waste to Toyo Harada’s besieged empire…and ready the world for the biggest dogfight of the New Year, only in IMPERIUM #13![/quote]

« STORMBREAK » - PART 2! Toyo Harada has brought war to the Foundation Zone…and Livewire and H.A.R.D. Corps are manning the frontline!

To his enemies, Harada is a despotic madman with a messiah complex. But to countless refugees and subjects of tyranny, Harada has been a savior and a benevolent provider. Now his world-changing Foundation Zone has grown faster than even he planned for. With diseases to cure, mouths to feed…and all of humanity to save… Harada will go to war against former allies and longtime enemies. At stake? The resources he needs for the Foundation Zone to succeed. In the balance? Everything Harada has ever built and fought for.[/quote]
