Writer Ray Fawkes (Batman Eternal) and artist Jeremy Haun (Batwoman) present a crime-noir mystery as a serial killer wreaks havoc in The Final Witness #1 (of 5), hitting shelves April 2020. Can a powerful new hero, a detective, and an investigative journalist solve this chilling case as more and more bodies are found in San Francisco?  

“I’m thrilled to bring a crime thriller twist to the Valiant superhero universe, and I’m excited to see the fans react to this book,” said Fawkes. “It’s a real ride, with a lot of twists and turns and some good, horrifying crime thrown into the mix.”

The writer added that fans of his work are in for a real treat. “People who read my work know I love the darker side of things, and this book is one where I truly get to cut loose. I’m really looking forward to watching fans try to unravel the mystery!”

“I work with Ray Fawkes and our colorist Nick Filardi every chance I get,” said Haun. “They’re some of the best talents in the business. It’s exciting to be working together on this story for Valiant.”

“The Final Witness is all about putting a twist on what it means to be a superhero – what it means to be Valiant, even,” added editor, Heather Antos. “Each issue we have new twists and reveals as we further reveal the mystery that I can guarantee readers won’t see coming, and I can’t wait for the journey to begin with the first clue in issue #1!”

The crime noir thriller begins in The Final Witness #1 (of 5) on April 29, 2020, featuring colors by Nick Filardi, letters by Clayton Cowles, and covers by Rahzzah, Michael Walsh, Caspar Wijngaard, Jeremy Haun, and Travis Escarfullery.
