Re: The ‘tell Alien which Valiant book needs fixing’ poll

My question would be, what can Alien do bring notice to VALIANT. From Saga using breastfeeding on the cover to their first issue to TidalWave making comics about certain political figures, those surely are good examples of how to rile people up to get free publicity for one's comic books, no? What ...

Elfquest is a comic within Valiant as well, so no Elfquest crossovers.
Maybe a Harbinger or a magician can cast a spell that traps Faith in an Elfquest comic book.
I hate that you came up with a clever idea that would probably make a good story.

He more or less made comics out of pictures. There were stories and dialogue and many of the photos were sequential.

Disagree. It seems most of the ideas are aimed at himself, and a small subsection of Valiant fans. mainly male, and over 45. I personally don't think there's a large enough market for his ideas to be profitable. Keep in mind, the people that post here, reddit, and Facebook are basically the same 25...

I am proud of you, MotA. Saying out loud that VH1 can never come back is the first step in recovery.
