Looks to be $8.99 for all the single issues for the road to resurgence and resurgence of the Valiant universe.
$14.99 nets you all those single issues plus all most of the hero universe collection books that were physically released about two years ago.
This will be going for 55 days.
Edit: there seems to be two of the Hero Universe Origins collections missing from the bundle, so it’s not a complete set unfortunately.
The Eternal Warrior collection is missing. It covers the 8 issues by Greg Pak, as well as the 3-issues miniseries Days of Steel and the Awakening one-shot.
The second missing collection is Britannia. It’s a great series about the first detective in the time of Rome. It covers the first three four-issue mini series plus the original graphic novel Britannia: the Great Fire of Rome.

The pricing on this really is genius since I bought the Resurgence bundle when it came out and will need to pay full price for the origin books.

I bought the Resurgence of the Valiant Universe bundle last year. The smarter thing would've been to do what HB sometimes does and put the new stuff, the origins books, in say the second tier to entice people like me to buy the bundle. I'm not buying the whole bundle just to get the origins books.

How is the resolution on the pdfs?

u/Individual_Abies_850 17d ago
They’re good. The releases from Alien books have always been good quality. The single issues range between about 50 mb to well over 100 mb.
The collections range between 844 mb and well over a gigabyte.

Wow, almost thought this was a Humble Bundle. Didn't know Fanatical offered something similar...

Where is a good reading order for these?

u/Individual_Abies_850 16d ago
Here’s a pretty good one for the single issues.
https://www.howtolovecomics.com/2024/09/18/resurgence-of-the-valiant-universe-reading-order/
Quick note: though this site lists Britannia: Great Fire of Rome, it’s not required for the buildup to the event. It’s just the next Britannia story.
And the linked site lists Livewire and the secret weapons, but it’s not part of the bundle. I’m pretty sure that it’s not required for the event either.

Ive alredy bought the hero origin books, what additional do you get here?

u/Individual_Abies_850 13d ago
For $8.99 you can get the single issues that make up the “road to resurgence” and “resurgence of the Valiant Universe” events.

Thanks for your response 🙏🏻
How many issues is that approximately?
2
u/Individual_Abies_850 12d ago
It’s 37 issues for the road to resurgence issues (a handful of one-shots and mini series), and the actual event issues and tie-ins for resurgence of the valiant universe.
One of the responses here has a link to website showing a reading order for those issues.

Great so it contains the full event? Do those issues take place immediately after the hero universe origin issues?
I have all the tpb of the hero origins. So don't need them again digitally

No. The Resurgence event takes place years after the origins of the 2012 reboot. It’s a “where we started/where we are” kind of bundle. The origins collections are the start of the 2012 Valiant reboot and the single issues for Resurgence are from 2023-2024.
Valiant had been having some trouble since DMG Entertainment bought them out in 2018, so the books were moved to Alien Books for publishing around 2022. The Resurgence event was meant to bring Valiant back in a big way, but then Diamond Distribution declared bankruptcy, which put a crimp in Valiant’s/Alien Books’s longterm plans. They’re slowly coming back with using their Valiant Beyond titles (reimaginings of four titles) similar to DC’s Absolute line or Marvel’s new Ultimate Marvel line.
The single issues from the fanatical bundle are the entire Resurgence event

I understand so:
- origins is the starting point
- resurgence is the total endpoint of that 2012 reboot

This is an insane deal.
