Media release — Valiant is happy to announce that veteran editor Alejandro Arbona has been named to the position of associate Editor. In his new role, Arbona will contribute to Valiant’s growing slate of monthly titles, including Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps, Quantum and Woody, Shadowman, and more. Arbona is just the most recent addition to Valiant’s editorial team, joining assistant Editor Josh Johns, fellow associate Editor Jody LeHeup, and executive Editor Warren Simons.
“Alejandro is an exceptionally talented editor,” said Simons. “I was able to work with him at marvel for a number of years on some incredible titles, and I can’t tell you how pleased I am that he’s joining Valiant. He will make a wonderful addition to the team.”
A five-year veteran of marvel editorial, Arbona edited a host of critically lauded titles during his tenure, including Invincible Iron Man, Osborn: Evil Incarcerated, Red Skull: Incarnate, legion of Monsters, and more. many recently, Arbona completed editorial responsibilities on Casanova by Matt Fraction, Gabriel Bá, and Fábio Moon; and Sacrifice, the best-selling, self-published series by Sam Humphries and Dalton Rose.
“Valiant blew me away last year, and I had high expectations to begin with,” said Arbona. “When you combine the familiarity of these characters with such fresh new ideas and approaches, and such a crackerjack team of writers, artists, and editors overseeing it all, the potential really is unlimited. and I’m over the moon I get to re-join forces with my mentor, Warren Simons, and take on an entirely new world of terrific stories.”
“There has been a remarkable reaction to our books from all sides, and we’re very fortunate to have strong sales and terrific reviews across the board. We have several new titles in the works with Quantum and Woody hitting this Wednesday, and Eternal Warrior and much more special surprises coming later in the year,” added Valiant CEO & chief creative officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “We plan to expand ever even more over the next 12 months and Alejandro was the natural choice to help us grow. He’s an extremely talented editor with a terrific body of work behind him, and we’re thrilled and enthused to welcome him to the Valiant family.”
