EL VALIENTE...EL GATO NEGRO...WAR!!!

I'M BACK BABY!!!

It's been a rocky couple of months, sad to see people go, and new people excitingly arrive as the new year begins! What a great way to start the year with some worthwhile and exciting news in the world of EL VALIENTE!!!

I've been talking to Richard Dominguez for a few months and a couple of weeks ago, he posted on his MySpace blog: EL GATO NEGRO
that EL GATO NEGRO would be involved in the mega Indie crossover event of 2008 known as WAR OF THE INDEPENDENTS written by Dave Ryan and published by RED ANVIL COMICS & ARCANA.

I was happy for him seeing as how EL GATO is one of the Hispanic heroes who inspired EL VALIENTE. The Deadline to submit for the crossover, since it was open to any and all Indie publishers and creators was January 1st. So I had no idea that I could have submitted EL VALIENTE to participate in the war, most of these Indie characters are going to have cameos and a few iconic Indie characters such as ERIK LARSEN's SAVAGE DRAGON, JIM VALENTINO's SHADOWHAWK, BILLY TUCCI's SHI, MIKE ALLRED's MADMAN, JOE LISNER's CRY FOR DAWN and other more established characters would have more of a spotlight in the crossover.

To my surprise Richard contacted me and asked if El VALIENTE would like to be involved in the war effort alongside...EL GATO NEGRO!!!

I was ecstatic and quickly agreed to enlist “the Big V Man”. So later this year; the team-up you knew had to happen is going down. Richard will be writing EL GATO NEGRO/EL VALIENTE in a pivotal chapter of WAR OF THE INDEPENDENTS. The story is still in its initial stages but will feature THE NOCTURNAL WARRIOR & THE MASKED MONSTER SLAYER battling demonic forces in Mexico and it will lead into the crossover WAR OF THE INDEPENDENTS in 2008!!!
