The writers of Bloodshot are the most interesting up-and-comers of 2018 (check out their excellent mini-series for Black Mask and their short but very good run on Cable right now). Sophisticated but to the point storytelling, those guys are really excellent!! It's quite a surprise that Valiant manag...

Could be right. On the other hand, it could be the other way around. If they are clever about it, they will look out for an experienced editor in chief and continue to produce new stories. If it is an IP farm it makes sense to continue doing what VEI was doing before: create interesting outlines fo...

I'm going to make a prediction on the future of Valiant from this point forward. DMG will still keep publishing comics, but only comics that are in the process of being adapted in other media. That's my interpretation of Mintz's statement. Quantum and Woody, Ninjak, Bloodshot, Shadowman, and Harbin...

It was always meant to happen, in some way or the another. Let's not kid ourselves: Yes, Valiant was always planned as an "IP farm". The sales generated in the comic market could never have paid for the initial and perpetual investments made by the investors. In a perfect scenario, they co...

4 years ago I found Harbinger 1, 2 and 3 for one Euro each in a comic shop, which was just clearing off its last American books. All in perfect condition. Best comic find I ever made.

well, it is kind of a puff piece. i'd say that the four sales guys did a pretty good job ;) i get that dino & crew really like the publishing side of things. but from looking at the raw sales numbers it doesn't take a genius mind to calculate that those can't pay talent and the not-so-little-vei...

I think, aside from the X-O relaunch, the days of ongoings (12+ issues) might be over... It's not only Valiant's problem, but that of most small publishers. Here's a year to year comparison: JANUARY 2013 119 X-O Manowar 9 $3.99 Valiant 16,599 145 Shadowman 3 $3.99 Valiant 13,327 151 Harbinger 8 $3.9...

is ninjak ending?

"...and exits with a brand-new place in the Valiant Universe!"

pretty sure they will do a wrath hardcover. it's the definitive "modern" run on the character and the 14 issues are practically the perfect movie-pitch. you want to hand over a nice bound book to potentially interested parties...
mark my words: this will happen.

they have some pretty valid points/wishes, imo.

i think ongoings, in general, are on the verge of extinction. one has to give credit to vei that their mini-series and one-shots program paid off, they are selling more units in little chunks, than if those series (divinity, britannia etc) would go on. it's really a struggle to keep ongoings on the ...

you raised a good point. but there has to be a reason it was named after a location and not the character. i still don't know how and if axia will interact with the rest of the valiant universe or if maybe other valiant heroes will become part of axia's story in his (britannic!) future. anyways, he ...

oh no. at least we get the 8 issues instead of a mini. but still:

this was valiant's own little "dc you"/"all new all different" kind of year. and next year's gonna be the valiant rebirth. and yeah, faith feels definitely quite un-valiant in that it's rather bland and conventional and forgettable. she is great when part of a team, but on hew ow...

Man this is such a good series!!! The writing, the art, the coloring... One of the highlights of 2016 and Peter Milligan's return to form. Loved the new issue, and also the additional editorial content in the back. Add to that the prestige format and this is easily one of the best packages out there...

fantastic issue and best thing i've read by milligan in years. THIS is the kind of milligan i hoped to happen when he was announced on shadowman. however, with this (and some other accumulated stuff from the past few years, mainly written by dysart ;) ) vei is entering the phase of becoming truly re...

i absolutely agree. well, not on x-o 50 (my fourth time trying to get on board with venditti's writing ... still unsuccessful), but man, britannia was so great and i am really surprised about the lukewarm reactions towards gen zero, cause i think it's an excellent psiot/mutant-kind of book. bloodsho...

loved it. heartbreaking. so much better than descender, right? definitely in my top10-since-the-relaunch. here's my video-review, if you're interested.

"the thing worse..." whaaat? that doesn't make any sense. ok, that's it, i will stop bi†ching around.

mmh. some cool projects, but not overtly excited for some the creators. especially harbinger renegades. man, this should have been dysart or a heavy hitter, rafaer just won't do. really sad for having to wait another 2-3 years for a good volume 3 harbinger. i mean, sure, will sample the first few is...

Morrison + Dysart + Kindt cooking up the most crazy and emotional and meaningful trans-time&dimensional-universe-wide event ever created. Of course, at the end of it three lost heroes from another Valiant Dimension cross over into the VEI universe... HAHAHAHA! :D this would be one hell of a kic...

Looks interesting but can we get a little creative with these skirmish names, please? Harbinger Wars X-O Wars Bloodshot War I would say that the only thing we've seen to date that actually looked like a war was called Armor Hunters. Just sayin'. :funnypost: i guess it's all about the polls.... We w...
