ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

This was, overall, a decent effort but at times confusing. Been a few years since I’ve read Livewire or Secret Weapons and writer Steven Grant did a good job reintroducing the characters. Currently off the grid in Costa Rica this story starts with Livewire on the therapists couch. The other characte...

Unity is a no brainer, but Armor Hunters and Harbinger Wars were both incredible. Was never really feeling The Valiant, but admittedly I was in the middle of checking out of Valiant completely when it came out. Not sure The Valiant even counts as an Event. It was really just an EW miniseries. No ti...

Just read Bloodshot Unleashed Reloaded #1 and I’ll put a review in the Review sections (spoiler alert it’s a waste of money). In the book there’s a cringe return of Bloodsquirt who regularly pops up in an annoying ‘breaking the 4th wall’ type way. This includes an ‘hilarious’ nod and a wink presuma...

Why did I buy this?? I already bought Deniz Camps previous Bloodshot mini which was essentially a ‘baddie of the month’ mindless violence drudge. But as always a few months go by and Valiant launch a new series so I get all optimistic and order a copy …of Deniz Camp on Bloodshot. What do I get…a bad...

Unlikely from posts I read here. The first three or four years of VEI were some of the best books on the stands, but I'm pretty sure I checked out when I needed to. EDIT: What about Imperium and Life and Death of Toyo Harada?!? Both of those were fun. ‘Fun’? They were as good as comic books get. :o...

1. This poll is invalid per forum rules as there is no ice cream option.

2. How dare you leave out the best event ever - Deathmate!

You didn’t read Lemire’s Bloodshot or Kindt’s Rai or Divinity?!

Have to say, I had my doubts when the rights went to Alien, but I’ve been impressed with the creative teams being announced. The previews are the best the VALIANT books have looked in a while and it sounds like they’re developing/continuing the shared continuity from VEI/DMG before a soft reboot co...

If Unity doesn’t win in a landslide, I’d be surprised, but my second vote would be for Harbinger Wars. Love everything from Josh Dysart. I was so torn between Armour Hunters and Harbinger Wars. I wish this was a poll where you could vote twice, I bet we'd see very different results. Yes I’m re-read...

Here's mine: 1. Dysart's Psiot Cycle 2. Solar #1-11, followed by Unity. 3. Venditti's X-O Manowar, including Unity Vol. 1 and Armor Hunters. 4. BWS' Archer & Armstrong 5. Van Lente's Archer & Armstrong 6. Kindt's Rai and 4001, followed by Abnett's Rai. 7. Divinity 1-3 8. The Valiant 9. Kind...

Have they stopped putting books in stores all together? Did they announce that? Supposedly we'll see comics in stores again at some point, but 'Bad Idea 2 Pt. 1' ended in March 2023 . They did release Inebrio Horsefeathers (one-shot) last November and Destroyer (another one-shot) in December, which...

Ok so Alien have a new ambitious event planned for 2024. Historically, Valiant have come up with some bangers in the past …but which one tops the rest?

Speak now or forever hold your peace!

*If anyone from Alien reads this then the events listed are the bar you should be aiming for!

Harbinger Wars 2 was a big disappointment but we know we only got a version of the story was supposed to be right? Of course, but why does that matter? We're talking about the overall perception of the final product. I’m pretty sure they did ‘boycott’ DMG after they way they treated Dinesh. Yes Dys...

If it was at the back of a solid A side priced at £4.99 on regular paper then yeah. If it’s a B side at the back of a prestige format ...

The intention by Alien is good but they haven’t got the quality of writers to pull this off. Rather than have so many new books why not have fewer but pay for A tier writers? I wonder if Dysart, Kindt, Lemire and VDitti are still boycotting Valiant? Maybe with Alien at the helm it might change thin...

Yeah there’s some shockers there, I’d put Psi Lords alongside them though :P lol which ones are the shockers? The ones I listed are what I consider to be the F-tier. Psi-Lords would be in the C-tier, alongside stuff like Eternal Warrior: Sword of the Wild, Dr. Mirage, Gen. Zero, Harbinger Renegade,...

Out of interest which Valiant books were worse than Psi Lords? Only a few, if we're looking at VEI: Asmus' Q&W, Unity Vol. 6, Roberts' A+A, Dead Drop. DMG: Bloodshot Rising Spirit, Livewire Vol. 2-3, The Forgotten Queen, Seeley's Bloodshot, Hopeless' X-O, Savage: The Wild. Yeah there’s some sho...

A&A - average Iver Timewalker - average War Mother - average Delinquents - average Immortal Brothers - instantly forgettable Generation Zero - sub par Psi Lords - an abomination :? Wow, I could not disagree more. Van Lente is one of my favorite Valiant writers, especially when he's working on t...
