Re: Are these all the gold covers?



You've got a list of the Gold Incentive books.

But don't forget there were other Incentive books as well:

Unity (Platinum)
Chaos Effect Alpha (RED)
Harbinger 0 (PINK)
X-O 15 (PINK)
...And the rarest of them all... Bloodshot 0 (Platinum); although this was an "error" and most people don't count ...

Alien Foil Variants

Were the foil variants for all of the new Alien books canceled? I received a notification from DCBS that they canceled my order from these, and I don't see them on one of the bigger stores' websites.

Re: Armorclads 5 the new armorines 4?

Seems they're still going, but slimming down even more. (Didn't think that was even possible.) TBD what their plans are for the future. You would think if they're going to be a comic company, you'd want to expand the line so there was at least one new book coming out every week.

Re: Exclusive: Valiant's Harbinger Film Moves Forward At Paramount With New Director




This director was announced well over two months ago and maybe because no one really cared by picking it up and running the story they tried again on a slower news cycle day. But this isn't new news and I'll honestly be shocked this is the guy to direct this film.

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins


I read about a study wherein they studied young adults who identify as some kind of gay and asked if they had had a sexual encounter with a person of the same gender in the last few years and fewer than half had. In many cases, this was more a political identity than a sexual one.

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins


Maybe comic companies should release a conservative version and a liberal version of their biggest characters in order to appeal to fans of both political persuasions.

Yes.

You know where I'm going with this.

Ah yes. Suddenly overnight 20% of the population became homosexual. Sounds totally realistic. I guess we're destined to live in Gay Superman's world from now on.

Every generation seems to become more and more queer. This is just a fact.

"Seems" and "fact" is a little incongruent, imo.

I'm just saying that it's not a problem that Superman's son is bisexual.


It's not a problem, it's just stupid. This is the Atom Bomb of gaying up a title. I guess we ...

Hiatus

Any guesses as to how many 2012 Harbinger #3 1:20 Zircher comics (1st new Livewire) were made? The only clue that I see is that Harbinger #2 1:20 had 2000 printed. But, since Harbinger #2 was advertised to have a first appearance (1st Darpan) is it possible that Harbinger #3 1:20 had a ...

Re: Valiant's problem with royalties


I get Dysart's anger at Valiant, as he redefined the whole Harbinger universe and built the first real VEI crossover. But I have no idea what Tom Fowler did that would warrant getting royalties. I would argue that Priest and Bright have a much bigger claim on anything from Quantum and Woody, and ...

Valiant's problem with royalties

Not sure if it was discussed here, but some time back there was some comics news chatter about Dysart not getting expected royalties from Valiant in the new era, after the licensing of Harbinger. I just saw this on Twitter, so I guess it's not an isolated incident? Screen Shot 2021-09-23 at 10.52.16 ...
