Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH

Received my copy on Saturday. Box had a big “Fragile: Handle with Care” sticker on it. Packaging was as described: just some paper around the book, which was in a plastic bag with the bookmark and order info. Luckily, mine was not damaged at all. Yet to read it, but the quality of the cover, binding...

Re: Homage covers (from other publisher to Valiant comics) ?

Arise, chicken, arise. This one almost slipped by me. I think it *might* just be a Deathmate homage cover. Local Man: Gold (One-shot) by Image comics, solicited for release August 30. https://www.dcbservice.com/product/jun230060/local-man-gold-cvr-a-seeley-fleecs-(one-shot) This is actually a reall...

Re: Bad Idea are clearly doing X-O Manowar right?

They're WAVE 2 PART 1 pricing range already was $7.99 to $9.99! :lol: Still less than $125 and could sell far more. Sure, but you can also just read and flip the hardcover collection without much of a loss. I’m not in the reselling business. If I buy it, it’s because I want it. Oh yeah, and that $1...

Re: Bad Idea are clearly doing X-O Manowar right?

They’ve made so much $$$ off of this Kickstarter—over $365,000—one has to wonder how much they could make through normal distribution methods. Obviously that’s extremely successful, but all that cash comes from only 1600 backers. Seems like they could reach a larger audience and still make that muc...

Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH

I have backed several kickstarter comics over the past year, and many have been delayed long periods. This isn’t entirely unheard of, but most of the creators keep their backers updated on the reasons. Global paper shortage, lack of available printers, and many medical situations for the creative te...

Yeah, it's nice that around here they keep complaining about bad artwork and only getting 2 books per month. At the same time "they" are so far up in #BadIdea's butt; a company that is stalling on purpose (for no reason at all; at this point), giving us their big fat BUTTon, and pulling a...

This is a cute gimmick, but I’m sure any mathematician could give you a basic estimate on how long a billion clicks would take...I think at the current rate they will reach it in early November. I assume they already knew that and that’s when they were already planning to start publishing again. Sen...

I agree. With just an homage image to go with it. Could be a Divinity mini, a big X-over event, and/or a line-wide reboot a la Solar creating the “original” VALIANT Universe.

It's not looking good for Valiant these days. Its like they are trying to be the kind of comic company that liberal arts college freshman talk about with the one or two seniors who still hang out in the campus coffee house. Dude, could you sound more deuchey? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone reading Strange Adventures? Long break after #1 due to the pandemic, but issue #3 dropped last week. It’s slow paced, but really sucks you in with the underlying mystery of what ACTUALLY happened on Rann. While I greatly enjoyed King’s acclaimed Mister Miracle, I did tire of the sketchy-at-be...
