Re: Harbinger Wars II #4

This is worse than Dead Drop. Atleast Dead Drop doesn't really matter that much, this however was supposed to be Valiants big Event in 2018. All it did was to show an absurdly powerful Livewire, that doesn't act like the Livewire we knew before. Well she isn't the only one acting out of character ...

Re: 5 years!!!!

I think the biggest low point of VEI has been the whole The Legend of the Geomancer Thing, not because it was a bad story, but because it wasn't available for everyone. Putting out a story that was not purchassable for potential buyers was just plain stupid.

Re: Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #8 Discussion

I wonder how time works when Gilad is dead. Since Gilad was in such a hurry, does that mean that time is the same in death as it is in life? I guess so, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for him to hurry so much.

Re: Britannia

Real stuck on this one. A phalanx? That's ancient Macedonian/Greek...not a Roman strategy as far as I recall...which would be the appropriate group for an historical "Britannia" involving a Roman Legion v. Native Brits.
Actually before the marian reforms the romans used the phalanx formation. The ...

Wow. The integrity of an online poll has been sullied...unimaginable.

Umm, it's not rigging the vote if fans are rallying other fans to vote. That's called advertising. Maybe I'd have visited their website before today if they did a better job of that themselves.

Re: November 2015 Sales Discussion

I think the reason Imperium isn't catching on with a lot of readers is because it's not enough like a generic superhero book to catch the attention of the big superhero crowd and not indie enough for the typical indie comic crowd.
That would be my guess.

I hate Annual issues. Just a way to make a quick buck of a story we could have gotten in one or two regular issues. It also ruins the numbering... a number one issue between a number eleven and twelve issue, or whatever.

Re: Weird that comics are not a bigger deal across the world

Wouldn't the costs go down if people would be buying much more comics? Instead 100000 being the top number it would be 500000 for a comic?

With inflation, I think it would already be a good thing if the prices stays the same for quite some time.

Re: Weird that comics are not a bigger deal across the world

Why wouldn't people latch onto comics more considering how much cheaper are compared to moves and neat looking tv series?
I would say comics are more expansive. You can get the DVD of a movie for 5 to 10 euro and it will take more than an hour to watch it. A standard trade costs 12 to 20 euro and ...

Re: The anticlimatic ending in Valiant titles

You can lump the ending to Divinity's arc in there as well.

It's not necessarily that the final disposition to BoD isn't consequential enough, just that the final conflict seems restrained. I mean, Gilad is dead, Tama has collected David's power and Darque is imprisoned in a tree. Consequential ...

Don't know if everyone has already read Book of Death so not to spoil anyone:
Am I the only one who thought that the ending of Book of Death was anticlimactic? I mean Gilad just throws his axe at some stone, gem, magic thingy and that's it. Darque is defeated. There was this whole build up over the ...
