Re: Does anybody want the Gold Key trinity back anymore

I don't think VEI needs them now, but I would like to see something worked out regarding reprint rights, mainly so I can get the Deluxe Hardcover Omnibus of Unity that I've wanted since the mid 90's.

Cool, issue 2 of the book VEI doesn't want people to read.

Re: Book of Death: Legends of the Geomancer

Valiant's reasoning aside I can only see this backfiring long term. This strategy is a big turn off both to my LCS and me personally. I want to see Valiant grow, but not at the risk of losing existing fans like myself. I know, right? I just don't understand how actively alienating and angering the ...

Re: Book of Death: Legends of the Geomancer

Valiant is finishing their third year of publishing and starting their fourth year. They will have to do some new things and take some risks. It seems like the majority of Valiant fans would agree... yes, VEI should probably try some new things and take some risks. The Legends of the Geomancer ince...

Re: Book of Death: Legends of the Geomancer

asking DCBS about the price on Legends of the Geomancer... "We apologize for the confusion. The price has been updated to $20.00. We were not aware that this title was a 1:25 copy incentive." is this a case that there are so many comics in previews, that companies miss this kind of thing?...

Re: Book of Death: Legends of the Geomancer

For everyone who places themselves in the "readers only" category - Why don't you buy mostly trades, hardcovers, omnibuses, ad compendiums rather than floppies since they are often cheaper and sometimes contain more "content"? 1.I still love monthly comics, so I still buy them. ...

I'm really sorry for how hostile this is gonna sounds, but in reference to Legends of the Geomancer....why has VEI decided they don't want their digital customer's money?

Re: Book of Death: Legends of the Geomancer

Why then give speculators a story that only they could get? It's like they are forcing readers to spend like a speculator. Why not let the market decide.

The sad thing is, I'd buy this for the paperwork. I find behind the scenes drama and legal wrangling in this industry fascinating for some reason.
