Valiant Comics
Valiant Entertainment, Inc., commonly referred to as Valiant Comics, is an American company that produces comic books and related media based on the Valiant Universe of characters - a shared superhero universe of over 2,000 characters who interact with each other in a manner similar to Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Valiant, which own and controls the largest and most successful universe of superhero comic book characters outside of Marvel Comics and DC Comics, is the only publisher to challenge that duopoly, winning numerous awards and selling more than 80 million comic books worldwide.
The company was founded in 1989 by former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter and former Marvel Comics writer/editor Bob Layton among others. In 1994, after a period of tremendous growth, Valiant's venture-capital investor, Triumph, sold the company to video game developer Acclaim Entertainment. Acclaim began adapting the characters into video games and spawned several successful gaming franchises. In 2004, after several major set backs in their core sports gaming division, Acclaim Entertainment shut down and ceased all activities including those involving Valiant.
The company was restarted in 2005 as Valiant Entertainment by entrepreneurs Dinesh Shamdasani and Jason Kothari.〔 In 2011, after hiring several executives from Marvel Comics and Wizard Entertainment, former Marvel CEO and Vice Chairman, Peter Cuneo, was brought on board as Valiant's Chairman and an investor in the company. Valiant Entertainment officially launched its publishing division as part of an initiative dubbed the "Summer of Valiant" in 2012 to great critical and commercial success, including winning Publisher of the Year and being nominated for Book of the Year at the Diamond Gem Awards. Valiant has continued to set records and win critical acclaim, including receiving the most nominations for a single title at the 2014 Harvey Awards, being the most nominated publisher in comics at the 2015 Harvey Awards, being named 'The Best-Reviewed Publisher in American Comic Book Stores' by Bleeding Cool magazine and releasing the biggest selling independent crossover event of the decade.
In March 2015, after several leaked reports that Valiant had begun developing its characters for film, Valiant announced that they had partnered with DMG Entertainment and together they had raised a nine-figure co-financing film fund in order to finance feature films based on Valiant comic books. In April, Sony Pictures announced that they had partnered with Valiant to produce five films based on both the ''Bloodshot'' and ''Harbinger'' comic books. Both ''Bloodshot'' and ''Harbinger'' will receive two features each before a fifth movie, ''Harbinger Wars'', will bring both properties together, inspired by the Valiant comic book series crossover from 2013. All five films will be produced by Valiant's Dinesh Shamdasani, along with Original Film's Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe (The ''Fast and Furious'' franchise, ''21 Jump Street'').
