Valiant Comics are returning in May, starting with X-O Manowar.

“Plenty of foundation was laid in the original X-O Manowar run, and when I went back and read those stories, the possibilities leapt out at me,” writer Robert Venditti told The Associated Press on Tuesday. He said his goal is to “build upon the foundation that has already been laid. Of course, new characters and story elements will be introduced, but it will always be done with the aim of staying true to what has made X-O such a beloved character.”

Harbinger, Bloodshot, Ninjak, Archer & Armstrong and Shadowman will be released later this year.

Now is the time to hit those quarter bins! I guess I shouldn’t have just sold my early copies for so cheap!

After 10 long years, Nicolas Cage’s stolen Superman comic book has finally been found. The Action Comics 1, in which the Superman was introduced, was reported stolen in 2000, but was discovered in a San Fernando Valley storage locker just last month.

The estimated value of this comic book: $1 million. It was one of several comic books stolen from his L.A. home.

A man who refused to be identified found it in a San Fernando Valley storage locker.

The comic book was handed over to the Los Angeles Police Department, but Balelo took photographs of the book and sent them to Stephen Fishler, who had sold the copy to Cage.

Stephen Fishler compared the markings to photographs and said it was the one he sold to Nicolas Cage 11 years ago.
