The Valiant characters have been published in multiple languages and distributed globally. Diamond Comics Distributors, the leading distributor of comic books and graphic novels, named Valiant the "Best Publisher over 5% Market Share” in 1993. It is the only company in the industry’s history to challenge Marvel Comics and DC Comics’ market leading positions. The Valiant characters have also been the basis for video games franchises with sales exceeding $300 million. Video games based on Valiant characters have sold over eight million units and grossed $300 million. Examples include the Shadowman franchise and Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal, which featured Valiant’s X-O Manowar alongside Marvel's Iron Man. Valiant was sold in 1994 to a video game company Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. . Acclaim eventually went out of business, and Valiant Entertainment acquired all the rights to the character library in 2007. Valiant Entertainment owns and controls the Valiant characters across all media. These characters include Archer and Armstrong, Bloodshot, Eternal Warrior, H.A.R.D. Corps, Harbinger, Ninjak, Psi Lords, Quantum and Woody, Rai, Second Life of Dr. Mirage, Shadowman, Unity and X-O Manowar, among others. Valiant characters have been written and illustrated by many of the comic book industry’s most well-known creators, including Joe Quesada, Jim Lee, Frank Miller, Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Steve Ditko, Jim Shooter, Bob Layton, Barry Windsor Smith, Mike Mignola and Neal Adams, among many others. Valiant announced that it will return the Valiant Universe to publishing beginning in 2012.
