At the time it was launched, it was described by Anime News Network as a "bishōjo battle magazine," reflecting the large proportion of stories featuring attractive young women engaged in adventure or combat in futuristic or young adult fantasy settings. Many manga serialized in Comic Valkyrie are later published in bound volumes under Kill Time Communication's Valkyrie Comics imprint. The magazine was published in B5 format and sold every other month on the twenty-seventh for 650 yen.
