You know what comic book company and it's characters deserve more recognition? Valiant.
Valiant has so many interesting characters, it's quite the shame that they don't get as much love as any characters from the Big Two. Maybe a movie, or TV series, or video game could help expand the fan base.
When I gave my brother five comic companies and asked him which he would pitch a game to if given the chance, he said Valiant. He's not a comic book reader like I am, so he like just chose the way that could give some freedom to the work. When listing off characters a Souls-like game he would want to create, he stopped me and picked X-O Manowar. Which you know what? I think X-O Manowar could work in a Souls-like video game.
"But what about the Shadowman game and the Bloodshot movie? People know those." Yes, but how big was their impact?
And moving on from video games to movies, I think Valiant's characters would work better in animation than live-action. There's something about the colors of Valiant characters that pop better in anything not live-action. Taking Batinthesun's Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe for example, while costumes are spot on, they don't look as good, the colors don't pop as much, least in my opinion.
What characters would I pick for a Valiant animated movie? First thought is Shadowman, then Punk Mambo popped into my head. She could have a style that sort of meets in the middle of Miles' universe and Hobie's universe from Across the Spider-Verse.
Maybe someone could make an animated series for Valiant's immortal brothers, the Eternal Warriors, Ivar the Timewalker, and Armstrong. You could even throw their sister in too. War-Queen is pretty interesting for a slightly newer character, newer in that she only appeared within like the last decade I belive.
Or maybe could have the Deliquents, Archer, Armstrong, Quantum and Woody, as a ragtag bunch of misfits for a more comedic animated series.

OBADIAH ARCHER from ARCHER AND ARMSTRONG (VALIANT COMICS)
Tumblr media
JUSTIFICATION:
"okay so literally her backstory involves being raised in a religious cult by fundies who believe everything is on purpose by "the evil marxist liberal democrat state" and yet...and yet. she finds out her parents are evil and worship a literal demon of greed and she freaks out and goes on a journey to find herself with armstrong, a literal mesopotamian god who's...kind of like marvel's thor, personality wise, and looks like an average hairy "cub" in gay parlance. armstrong, probably being bisexual, would sense that archer is some kind of trans girl egg and he would try to gently sway her into the direction of finding herself, safely away from her fundie cult leader parents, while teaching her about the lgbt community. i think if she realized she was trans it would help with a lot of internalized bigotry. plus, her current partner in valiant comics lore, faith herbert, is canonically bisexual spectrum/queer, and probably would be ready and willing to help archer explore her gender if need be." - @sunkern-plus

funny how simple the line ‘do you remember what Buzz Aldrin said when he stepped on the moon?’ is compared to how much it fucks. the bitterness, the immensity. the ego... 
#the answer: nobody does. because armstrong went first.#enterprise literally best show ever hands down#trek#captain's log#im in a fucking weird headspace#archer my archer..#fucking INSANE line. especially in retrospect like robinson got himself killed and archer's goofy ass founded the federation#the ideas abt legacy and his preoccupation as a young man w his father's engine ..#its just so UHM#like. in first flight he's fighting on his dad's behalf and trying to fit his life into his dad's#thinking the most he'll be able to contribute is taking the step his father had leaned toward#and in the end. warp two is... one small step.#yanno#small potatoes.#lmfao#when he finally IS able to pull his head out of his ass he realizes what he's capable of doing on his own + that becomes so much more#impressive than what he aspired to as a young man and what he thought was important#and despite the monuments and the schools named after him and the museums built with his name on the side... what he leaves behind is so...#pardon the pun. nebulous.#everything traces back to him. and the work he did.#the reflection is really the kicker--the appraisal of his life after it's been lived#once youre able to divorce his shitty fucking personality from his accomplishments#knowing that all his bigotry and intransigence dies with him#what you're left with is the best parts of him#the times he was accepting and generous and kind. when he extended a hand out to all those he encountered hoping for friendship#GOD#archer. talk about the fucking duality of man#hes the worst but how can you not love him#LOVE him#like. ardently. admirably. with affection beyond words

Here are the variant covers for Archer & Armstrong Forever. The story was about the search for immortality so we decided to parody a bunch of historic artworks that focused on that theme: the holy grail, the philosophers stone, the fountain of youth and Idunn’s apples.
