The Future Of Valiant Is Savage! New Series To Debut With A Familiar Gold Key Feel, But Brand New Take With Savage #1!

News, Spoilers

November 2016 comic book solicitations are all out there for consumption.

One new book to keep an eye out for is Savage from Valiant Comics.

In the 1990’s Valiant Comics had the license for use of the Gold Key characters like Solar Man of the Atom, Turok the Dinosaur Hunter and Magnus Robot Fighter. They were character pretty integral to the old Valiant Universe, but the new Valiant no longer has a license to use them.

Instead of creating clones of these classic characters, Valiant has thoughtfully considered what role these Gold Key characters played in their universe and how can they fill that void with something original, but familiar.

Enter the critically acclaimed Divinity filling Solar’s role in an amazing way and now Savage for the Turok role with a few twists!

      Fifteen years ago, the world’s most famous soccer star and his former supermodel wife –pregnant with their unborn child – disappeared without a trace. The world believes they are dead… But, in reality, their private jet crash-landed on a mysterious, unknown island ruled by prehistoric creatures from another time…

      This is the story of how they lost their humanity.

      This November, acclaimed writer B. Clay Moore (Hawaiian Dick) and explosive artists Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS) and Lewis LaRosa (BLOODSHOT REBORN) present a relentless epic of survival in a cold-blooded land ruled by instinct alone as SAVAGE makes his brutal entrance into the Valiant Universe!
