"THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED. Two thousand years from today, the planet has been transformed by science, technology...and war. The centuries have not been kind to the Earth's own undying warrior - but a battle that could change everything is just beginning right here in the 21st century. Rising star Diego Bernard joins New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak to make history with a brand new vision of the Valiant Universe that is to come and define a brand new era for heroes - past, present and future".

Prices have been quite varied for the 1:50 - between December 2017 and January 2018, copies were going from $230 to a little over $500 in one case. Prices have cooled somewhat since but with only 350 printed these are pretty rare comics.
