Am I the only one that thinks the character should stay dead? :roll: I love the X-Men characters, but one of my biggest single complaints is no one in the Marvel Universe has any limits - they are all invincible and immortal - no exceptions. God, I truly hope that VEI gives us what made the original...

I ordered my Action Replay, DVD remote, and Splinter Cell disk today. I'm thinking about maybe trying to use the wireless network adapter instead of running a cable upstairs. Anybody know if that would work on a modded x-box?

Read issue #2 today - Good stuff! :thumb: I'm really liking this series. Issue #2 begins to cover the personal impact the change has on some of their lives and how the modern world is different from the world they left behind. It's a lot more about the story and less about the "Superhero-Flash&...

I for one, liked the concept that was VH1's Rai #0. A comic that gave a direct history bridging the stories from 'present day' to the future. It told of character births, character deaths, and pivital moments. Simply amazing! I for one, hope for a reboot of the Valiant properties from VEI. Everythin...

In my opinion, one of the coolest things Valiant ever did was actually predict the demise of Shadowman, a main character. To me, I kind of hope that they'd kill him as intended (both the hero and the alter-ego Jack.) It just added such a depth of intrique to the stories knowing that he "wouldn'...

There are actually a lot of different ways they could go with some of the Dark Horse properties if they could get the license to use/share... Predator is a pretty versatile character and could historically show up just about anywhere being good for Eternal Warrior, Timewalker, present-day books, or ...

Outside characters in the new Valiant U

I've noticed a lot of the other threads are arguing about the "same ole, same ole" so I thought I'd bring up something that hadn't really been talked about much. What about using other "outside" characters in the new Valiant Universe? Remember Magnus vs Predator? I always thought...

I always figured Jack went out with style while fighting dark. Think about how he *almost* died while mistakingly trying to help mothergod during Unity.

Not really being afraid to die, but just doing what he has to do.

Does anyone else see the irony in the seller telling Dino in the first post that Valiant is a "Dead Company?"

For a guy thats a large advocate of making sure Valiant stays Valiant and not Marvel or DC - isn't that something of a condemning statement? :o

My universal rule is wait to the 30 day mark. This way you can say you waited a reasonable amount of time, they had more than enough time to send it, and you're still well within your limit to complain to e-bay.
