Book of Death: The Fall of the Valiant Universe by Jeff LemireMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are some great stories collected in this volume. It is a companion to the Book of Death miniseries and focuses on the end of some of the key Valiant characters. I think it helps to be familiar with the characters to get the most impact from these stories. So read up on X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Ninjak, and Pete Stanchek/Toyo Harada.
At times these stories are joyful and tragic and they capture the essence of what I like about the characters so much. Plus, they fill in some gaps about what happens between present day and the 4,001 stories.
The art and writing are top notch across the board. This isn't something that is essential reading from Valiant, but it is a great addition for fans.
