ComicsFix – the subscription-based digital comics service available on iPad, iPhone, Android devices and online – is proud to announce a new partnership with award-winning comic book publisher Valiant Entertainment to bring select Valiant titles to ComicsFix’s digital comics library. Effective today, comic book fans can join ComicsFix’s monthly subscription plan for access to select series including X-O Manowar, Archer & Armstrong, Harbinger, and more of Valiant’s critically acclaimed superhero titles.

The first wave of Valiant titles on ComicsFix is available now, featuring the origins and initial adventures of Valiant’s most popular series – including X-O Manowar Vol. 1: By the Sword by New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (The Flash, Green Lantern) and Eisner Award-winning artist Cary Nord (Conan); X-O Manowar Vol. 2: Enter Ninjak by Venditti and artist Lee Garbett (Batman & Robin); Harbinger Vol. 1: Omega Rising by New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (Unknown Soldier) and Harvey Award-nominated artist Khari Evans (Carbon Grey); Bloodshot Vol. 1: Setting the World on Fire by writer Duane Swierczynski (Judge Dredd) and artists Manuel Garcia (Black Panther) and Arturo Lozzi (Ghost Rider); Archer & Armstrong Vol. 1: The Michelangelo Code by New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (Marvel Zombies) and Clayton Henry (Uncanny X-Men); and Shadowman Vol. 1: Birth Rites by Harvey Award-nominated writer Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode) and artist Patrick Zircher (Iron Man).

In addition to these best-selling titles, new additions from Valiant’s critically acclaimed library of comic books and graphic novels will be added to ComicsFix monthly. Old and new readers alike can look forward to a near-constant influx of top-notch content from Valiant on ComicsFix’s innovative digital reading platform.

“We are so proud of this partnership,” said Felix Kiner, founder and CEO of ComicsFix. “Valiant is one of the most beloved publishers in the history of comics with good reason. Now, ComicsFix members have access to the characters and origins that made the Valiant Universe great. Our members will be thrilled to learn of these brilliant additions.”

“Valiant is committed to finding new readers through as many outlets as possible, and, through our new partnership with ComicsFix, we are proud to add another innovative and affordable channel to our list of trusted digital partners,” said Valiant CFO & Head of Strategic Development Gavin Cuneo. “ComicsFix is an exciting new option in the marketplace, and we look forward to fans new and old enjoying Valiant titles in a whole new way.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
