Re: The 10 Greatest WOLVERINE Villains of ALL TIME!
Cyclops as a Wolverine "villain" discredits the list for me. While classifying Cyclops as a villain may be going a little too far, he has always been a kind of "frenemy" to Logan because of Jean Grey. I think it's definitely debatable, but he is probably someone that Wolverine w...

Re: Why are you under whelmed by Shadowman?
the problem is less to do with art, more to do with the story. This is one title in VE that needs a new writer, asap. I looked at the track record of Justin Jordan. He hasn't written anything of any significance before joining Valiant. And he is continuing that trend. They must find a better replac...

Re: Marvel jumping into the 8 bit game
I saw this earlier on Comic B-a-s-t-a-r-d-s.com While it's true that retro gaming does represent a certain portion of the videogaming audience (myself included), it's pretty clear that Valiant's 8-bit initiative got them plenty of attention in the comic press and Marvel is biting their steez a littl...

Re: Harbinger Wars #1 Discussion
Great art in this issue from all the contributors. Loved the introduction of the new characters. Little let down by the slow start to this miniseries though. Clearly the tie-ins are going to be essential reading in order to get the full story, as there's no way they can tell a complete story in 4 is...

Re: Why don't you like Shadowman?
I liked the original series but that is not why I don't like current series. I have been vocal in these boards of not trying to compare the current incarnations to previous incarnations when I was defending X-O Manowar and Archer and Armstrong. The problem with the book for me is that the lead char...

Let's not let an idiot like this ruin the excitement of this fully owned VEI property, though. Valiant is releasing Quantum and Woody this summer, it's going to be a success, it's going to raise the bar and add excitement to the line of books, and it's going to be met with critical praise (on this,...

Re: The 1990s comic book fan confessional
I'll confess to really loving most of the early 90's Image stuff back then. Never really liked Youngblood though. Not just bc of Liefeld's art though I could never understand what the hell was going on. I also really dug Quasar, New Warriors, and anything Lobo. Quasar is awesome, nothing wrong with...

I'm not a huge Gamma fan, she never really excited me as a reader and I'm kinda hoping she either disappears or dies soon. Ditto. I always thought Gamma looked kind of stupid tbh.

I'm almost certain that what this is really about is throwing tons of bones (and licensing fees) to Neil Gaiman, so that he will write more Marvel comics in the future. Specifically, so that Neil Gaiman will finish writing Miracleman for Marvel. That would be a huge win for Marvel. +1 to THIS. I wo...
