New Valiant Comics Gets Capital Infusion; 2012 Launch Set

I can't imagine anything I'd have to say about a return for one-time 1990s comics-publishing mid-major Valiant that isn't already said in CBR's interview with CEO Jason Kothari or in their press release. The newsworthy element is that it's Peter Cuneo's company that is providing the money -- Cuneo is a former Marvel guy that cashed out when Disney bought the company.

I'm not sure there's a natural market out there for this material, and as is the case when I look at DC's recent announcements I wonder after the infrastructure both physical and digital that's supposed to deliver this material in a way that would allow it to catch on with fans (I realize those two realms operate in very different ways). Then again, all markets for comics may be vastly different by the time this effort hits the ground running, it's always a sucker's game evaluating the potency someone else's nostalgia, and having a administrative team in place, characters around which to launch stories and the money to do so puts you way up on all the people that lack any and/or all of those things.
