Matthew Rosenberg returns, and we selfish fans rejoice!

The writer for one of our favorite newest titles, "4 Kids Walk Into a Bank", was away with his ailing father for months, according to his apology letter to the fans of his books.

As people, we are happy his father is on the mend.

As selfish fans, we are excited as hell for the return of Paige and her pals as they try to help her dad stay out of trouble---by robbing a bank themselves.

Happy day:

Valiant's 2016 Began and Ended with Successful Mini-series

Valiant in 2016 saw wide commercial and critical success with a variety of projects. The early-2016 notable title that took some folks by surprise stars their most positive happy-to-be-a-superhero heroine, Faith Hebert, in an eponymous mini-series:

The popularity of which has spawned a regular monthly title, a slew of plush dolls and figurines, and plenty of notice from mainstream media.

2016 ends for Valiant as another high profile mini-series ends, only this limited series had enough buildup and fanfare that it's nearly impossible to consider it a sleeper. A commercial and critical success, though, it certainly is. It stars the world's first detective (or, in ancient Rome's time, called a "detectioner"), Antonius Axia:

A wildly striking and entertaining read, I find myself smitten with Valiant's prestige format. The above shots are the regular Cary Nord covers, and upon seeing all the choices, I can't imagine wanting any of the other "specials."

There is much I'd like to say about Valiant's 2016, but now I don't have the time. Bummer.
