Valiant Comics Timeline Introduction Im a huge Star Trek fan.

I own all the DVDs, read the books and comics, I even have a Trek tattoo. When I was a kid I got the Star Trek Chronology by Denise and Michael Okuda for Christmas. Even though most of the information in that book can now be found online I still prefer my old, beat up, less-a-book-and-more-a-folder-because-the-gluecouldnt-hold, copy of the chronology. Earlier this year I got a copy of the Babylon 5 Chronologies. Its a fascinating book that has two different interpretations of the Babylon 5 timeline. Two different people watched the same show and both decided to make a timeline. On some things the two agreed, and on others they differed, but they were both right because it was theyre interpretation of what they watched. Even now my copy is becoming less a book and more folder. As I was reading through it I realized that it was time to do something I had always wanted to do: make a timeline of the Valiant Comics Universe. With my wifes and fathers encouragement I dived in. I re-read all comics, making notes on my computer as I went along. I arranged my timeline in a similar style to Denise and Michael Okudas, whose work I loved so much. When you see the word conjecture that just means that this event was not given a specific date and its placement is my best guess. A conjecture note is always followed by an explanation. Some references are based on our own historical dates unless specifically contradicted by dialogue in a comic. For instance, in the Valiant Universe the Texas War of Independence started sooner than in our own timeline. For some issues without a date I used the month the comic was scheduled to ship. Id like to thank Jim Shooter, Bob Layton, Steve Massarsky and all the other writers, artists, inkers, letterers, editors, and executives that made Valiant Comics. Id like to also acknowledge the work of Seaborn Adamson, a man whose enthusiasm for Valiant is infectious. Id like to thank Greg Holland for editing and hosting this timeline on valiantfans.com. Id like to thank Magnus Ramstrom whose work on his own Valiant timeline helped me in organizing my thoughts for this one. Id like to thank Gunter Bouwer for his Shipping Schedule of the Valiant Universe. Id like to thank DarkMark for his extremely detailed timeline/issue guide of Magnus Robot Fighter. Id like to thank the contributors to The Book of Geomancer at valiantentertainment.com, an invaluable resource when compiling this timeline. Id also like to acknowledge the contributors of Wikipedia, whose work helped me with some of the historical information. And Id like to thank my Dad, a history professor, for helping me make sure Wikipedia was right and correcting them when they were wrong. And finally Id like to thank my wonderful wife for putting up with my love for Valiant Comics and helping me with timeline issues even though Im sure she really didnt want to. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of the Valiant Comics Universe. Joshua Eves iwantvaliantcomics November 2010
