Re: The Subversive Naming Conventions of Early Valiant Titles

Re: Deluxe Edition Question?

They did issue a TPB, but they would have to collect it with more issues, such as Harbinger Omegas, to make it work. Per...

Does anyone recall what issue/ story arc it was established in that when you die you go to Heaven or Hell at random, it's not if you're good, it's not if you're bad, and it's in Heaven's best interests to have killers just like Hell if they're going to have armies that are going to fight each other ...
