ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

Microcircuitry. And time arcs.

Wait, wait - I know this one. Arthur’s third law?

Worst part of this whole thing is that no one is saying he passed away and we don't get the big Jim Shooter return to Valiant. That should be the first thing said on a Valiant message board. I know he was a complicated person. Just sucks that he got to write another Valiant story in 2000 and wrote ...

SCOOP: Valiant's Beyond Preview Edition Ashcan At San Diego Comic-Con

Valiant Beyond Preview Edition Ashcan is free at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, limited to 2000 copies only


Let's hop in our time machines and go get them. :kidaround:


Who needs a time machine when we got Ivar.

A sad day across fandoms besides creating Valiant, Defiant, and Broadway comics and, Jim Shooter helped to create The Transformers more in the basic outline of the mythos and naming several characters and the factions and the planet Cybertron.

Shooter always wanted said he wanted to create a ...

May his memory be for a blessing. May it be that we remember him at his best, because we would not be here without him.

Few could be said to have guided comics so singly as he did in the 80s and early 90s. When they took from him, he built for himself. Admirable.

I bought these when they came out. My first reaction is that they had tied in to the 2008 animated movie (well worth a watch if you have not seen it) but now that I think about it, it may have had more to do with the Turok Son of Stone HC (and later SC) reprints that Dark Horse was doing around that ...

You said in the first post “if Gaia was one of the actors…”

So you are assuming that she was one of the actors, rather than an older, pre-existant embodiment of nature? It feels more likely that she has a different origin than the Greek gods. Was this entity ever called Gaia? Is there any ...

Are you placing the apotheosis of these actors around 1300 BC? Wouldn't the Anni-Padda brothers pre-date that?

The sea peoples even would probably be before that. Maybe the Bronze Age Collapse of around 1400-ish BC would be a better timeframe?

Switching from Ge to Gaia would be switching from ...

Different version, like Ultimate Spider-Man and Absolute Superman.

Maybe they’ll do funny animals next. XO-Ham, Archer and Aardvark, etc.

OX Cow-o-war.

Potentially, the most interesting thing in a hypothetical meeting between VH-1 Faith and VEI Faith would be the latter's relationship with VEI Archer, where, in contrast, VH-1 Archer married VH-1 Flamingo.


I have zero interest in the old Valiant being brought into modern day. Bring back ...

There weren’t any new comics solicited for sale from Valient on DCBS last month.

Could there be a month soon where we get more new Defiant comics than Valiant?

And yet, we can still be creeped out and disappointed, frequently at the same time.

Hook a brudda up.

Will gladly cover shipping and handling.

Yes, on back cover.

Are you comfortable sharing their numbers?

You can move on from this focus on disproving the theory at any time. You are separate person; your posts don’t have to always be in reaction to a single theme. You can even juggle two posts in different threads addressing two disparate topics at the same time. Why not call out bad editing now ...

I don’t think anyone was saying that DMG and Alien were the same business entities. Can you cite sources that posters were claiming that DMG and Alien are organs of the same company?

What was said was that, in hiring many of the same decision makers from DMG, Alien was carrying forth many of the ...

It sounds like Alien and DMG work together on the books (Alien has to run everything past DMG) so I imagine IDW is helping from a publisher standpoint.



Because they are the same company


Alien and DMG/Valiant are the same company? Valiant didn’t buy Alien nor vice versa.

Kind of like how Daniel-san was not actually the Karate Kid.
