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 ...

Re: Jim Shooter is dead
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.

Re: Dark Horse Comics 2009 Turok: Son of Stone Trading Cards
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 ...

Re: Gaia and Andromeda (and Bacchus too...)
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 ...

Re: Gaia and Andromeda (and Bacchus too...)
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?

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.

Re: Why isn't Valiant on this list of this month publishers?
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?

Re: "We Anticipate Being Able to Focus on Expanding": Valiant Publisher Breaks Down New IDW Deal
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

Re: "We Anticipate Being Able to Focus on Expanding": Valiant Publisher Breaks Down New IDW Deal
DC and Marvel have gone through those kind of slumps for decades.
Quality always ebbs and flows at every publisher.
So, Valiant has undergone a sustained period of poorer quality comics, despite being internally consistent with previously established logic and guidelines?
