" Valiant Entertainment will resume publishing of the Valiant Comics properties. The company will begin releasing the titles next year in both print and digital format The relaunch will focus on popular characters including Harbinger, X-O Manowar, and Bloodshot. &amp;quot;I am a long-time Valiant fan and remember when Valiant was creating such powerful characters and stories in the 1990s,&amp;quot; CEO Jason Kothari told Comic Book Resources. &amp;quot;The company was growing at such an unprecedented rate that it was considered to be the next Marvel. &amp;quot;As a businessman, the opportunity to reinvigorate a strong entertainment brand with so much potential was exciting. As a long-time Valiant fan, the opportunity to use my broad range of business experience to rebuild something that was special to me and many people of my generation felt like a responsibility.&amp;quot; Valiant Entertainment bought the rights to the superhero characters from previous owners Acclaim in 2007 when that organisation went bankrupt. The move has been partially-funded by Cueno &amp;amp;amp; Company, LCC - an investment firm headed by former Marvel CEO and vice chairman Peter Cuneo who left Marvel in 2010 as part of the Disney buyout.  Cuneo will serve as chairman of Valiant Entertainment. &amp;amp;gt; Read our latest Comics news "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
