ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I had not purchased a Valiant title in a while, but I got this one and found it to be fine. A good start. I know, it's shocking for a Valiant fan to buy and enjoy a Valiant title, but it happens every now and then. These aren't carried by my LCS and I didn't pre-order the rest of the mini, so I gues...

Not sure there's anything they could do to get some posters to read.

I think the OP's conclusion is correct (Valiant IP has fallen), but I'm not sure this Kickstarter comparison tells us anything significant. If I understand this correctly, the Bloodshot series is still going to be released and available to order with your LCS/DCBS 35% discount later down the road. S...

I would like to read that story.

For what it's worth, here are my answers. Best X-O storyline - Armor Hunters followed closely by VH1 X-O Manowar #0 Best Bloodshot run - Bloodshot Reborn Best Harbinger run - Dysart by a mile which pains and brings me joy to say because Shooter/Lapham was perfection for me growing up Best Shadowmn ...

Regardless of any confusion (no one's reading this but us), I'd still like to see the hardcover and would support a kickstarter.

This is not the robot smashing conversation that I had imagined.

Phantom, As I was reading this, I had to check to make sure that I had not posted it. I feel you completely. I also went down the Bad Idea trail, but I've had to bail on that as I was unwilling and unable to chase buttons and convention-only books. I overpaid for the first two kickstarters, but I've...

Thanks for the feedback. I think you may be right. I put it in mylar with some firm backing boards and that may be the best this book can do at the moment.

1. Can you submit different orders in the same box? For example, can I send in a modern, no pressing, in the same box with order for vintage, pressing? I'm just trying to save on shipping, but didn't know how that affects processing and return shipping. 2. Any thoughts on whether CGC cleaning would ...

Third Submission Results: I was still riding my high of having 6 of my first 8 submissions being 9.8 with the other two being 9.6, I decided submit again. This time the results were more pedestrian and more unexpected (both good and bad). I paid for pressing this time around: New Mutants 98 - Newsst...

Love to see it. Happy new year to both Michaels!

Picked up Bloodfire #0 today and chuckled a bit when I read this:

Double Post - Deleted

Say what you want about Frank Miller, but this image is emblazoned on my mind and was a seminal turning point for my relationship with comics back in the 80s. It is arguably one of the greatest story arcs in superhero comics, and is certainly a favorite among folks not just of my age, but also my t...

There was a pretty decent animated movie released 2007/8-ish.

Thanks. I was not aware of that. Now I'm off to tracking that down!

Just spitballing here, but I think Shadowman is the best IP for potential mass appeal that can bring something slightly different to the table. You'll have some comic and video game nostalgia, plus fans of horror and superhero genres. Keep it dark. Keep it voodoo. Let the jazz play out. Put it in Ne...

After all these years, I've finally decided to work on a complete run of Gold Key Magnus and Solar (and maybe one day Turok). Just looking for raws, but the CGC set is impressive.

That's a tough one. I like Thundercats, but I had heard once that Dynamite sucks. What to do?

Sorry to have derailed the conversation about the Solar-inspired book, but let's talk about a book that may have inspired Solar. I'm sure this has come up before, but I just saw this pulp for the first time today: Astounding Science Fiction (September 1952): https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/1...

This is cool. I wish a Bad Idea destination store in my state. I've done the mail order for the last two waves, but I'm skipping this round of books and will buy on the aftermarket when I can.

Loved all the books so far though and I'm sure this will be just as awesome.

I figured if I hadn’t seen it, perhaps others hadn’t as well.

That's cool. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing the link.
