Re: The ‘tell Alien which Valiant book needs fixing’ poll

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...

Re: Question about collecting Solar, and guest appearances.

Chaos Effect Epilogue Chaos Effect Do you think Chaos Effect is crucial to Solar's story? I read through it a couple years back, and remember every series being pretty disconnected. Magnus the Robot Fighter 6 How is this one? PSI Lords 3 Is this with Destroyer? Does he play an important role in Psi...

Question about collecting Solar, and guest appearances.

I'm very close to finally finishing up my VH1 Solar run, but I'm worried that I'm missing out on crucial guest appearances or team-ups. I already own the entirety of Unity, Secret Weapons #1-2, Detroyer #0, and Chaos Effect Alpha and Omega. Is there anything else I need to be looking out for? EDIT: ...

Re: Alien making the same mistake as DMG

Is Alien Books already falling behind schedule? It's hard to find release dates for the books now that they're no longer on Amazon (any info on that?) but according to The Forbidden Planet both Britannia: The Great Fire of Rome and Livewire & the Secret Weapons one-shots have been delayed to Ap...

Here's mine: 8. The Valiant Major problem with this as it contains one of the biggest mis-steps of VEI IMO. Issue #3 is a throwaway meeting of all of the VEI character for some nonsense battle. This effectively robbed us of a ton of ‘first meeting’ storyline between all of the characters….and it wa...

Re: Magnus: Steel Nation better than Solar: Alpha and Omega?

Imo Magnus 1-4 ain't got sh!t on Solar 1-10. They're both damn good, but Solar has this timeless, "epic" quality, that I have rarely seen replicated, and an awesome, unique gimmick with the Alpha & Omega inserts. Steel Nation, in comparison, is just a very well-told, fun cyber punk sto...

Re: Alien making the same mistake as DMG

Mini-series don't bother me, but it would be cool to see dual numbering to acknowledge the ongoing series. Like X-O Invictus #1 would also be #5 on the inside cover if it continues from Unconquered or #89 or whatever it is from the start of the vei reboot. This seems like an elegant solution to the...

Eh, I think you're just splitting hairs at this point. While the Bloodshot, X-O, Rai, Faith, and Britannia mini's are technically new mini-series', they're really continuations of what came before. Does it really matter what number is on the cover? I'm personally *SQUEE* psyched to get more of Abnet...

Yes, I made that. At least...

Re: Rumored plans from Alien books

I'd actually be very down for this. Change isn't always a bad thing, and $12 for a trade isn't bad at all (assuming it's 3.5-4ish issues of content). It's those kind of prices that have gotten me to switch most of my disposable comic income to manga.

Re: Collectors vs Readers
