When they unknowingly jack a mysterious ship, they find themselves thrust into a conflict between the US and USSR. Targeted by American cyborg assassins, mad Soviet […]

Wow, Valiant has been playing heavy with their Universe(s), but this is interesting. A whole new plane of existence with its own universe of gods and heroes. I guess, really, the concept is not new, but how this new universe will play with the Valiant New Universe is unknown. “A VISIONARY NEW SERIES.
