Valen the Outcast

A swords-and-sorcery epic from Boom! Studios, Valen the Outcast (2011–2012) follows a disgraced warrior navigating a brutal fantasy world after being cast out from his tribe. Over its 8-issue run, the series showcased a rotating roster of striking visual talent, including Khary Randolph, Liam Sharp, and Matteo Scalera, each bringing a distinct, visceral energy to the story. It stands as a dark, atmospheric entry in the publisher's early-2010s push for creator-driven genre comics.
