Warning Bell #3: According to Books in Print, Valiant currently does not have trade distribution. Curious, in that Diamond Book usually will acquire trade distribution of GN publishers deemed worthy.
Warning Bell #4: According to Books in Print, Valiant has only published two graphic novels, one in August 2007, one in April 2008.
But then, it's an unpaid internship, and it's unlikely that the company will fail during the short period of the internship.
