Re: September Solicitations?

Am I correct that the bags will be somewhat see through, so you can see the cover you are getting? I would almost prefer to not be able to see, truly open up the possibility for a variant find, versus having to pay more. Make it a little more like sports cards and the unknown of the find. Sure, ther...

Military, Friends advice, Dinesh is evil, my Valiant story

Comics, to me, were always a mystery. I was a card collector when I was a kid, somewhere in my hoard of cards I have a rookie Wayne Gretzky (in poor shape, cuz I was a damn kid!). Mainly, I collected football cards. I figured, I played football, that was one thing I could easily relate to. Girls, Mi...

Re: XO 47 ~ 50 Question & Poll.

Guess for me it just depends on what they have left on the shelf. I know I will want to open a few, and I know I will not open a few. Guess I am thinking 5+, maybe more if I can afford them...

Re: 4001 AD: Bloodshot Discussion

Pure speculation, but I think going the AI way could be the easy way out of this one.... Here's a thought, could the Nanites, who have had a host figure for as long as they have existed, last outside the human body? I guess I look at Bloodshot Island as a spoiler of sorts, or maybe a tell with where...

Re: PREVIEW: GENERATION ZERO #1 (UNCOLORED/UNLETTERED)

I'm really looking forward to this comic coming out! On top of all that, Van Lente will be at the Jet City Comic Show in early September, so a signing or two will be in order. Now, if I can just get my hands on a few good variants.....

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?

I don't know if this would be classified as a steal, or a best deal or not. I will say I LOVE the art work, especially considering there are only a few varied views of War Mothers face. There is nothing special about the comic, just a plain "Book of Death" #1, but the art work is amazing! ...

Scored this for $24.
Is that considered a deal?
I like this cover, love all the throw backs, especially the 399 cents and the label!

Re: 4001 AD: Bloodshot Discussion

I enjoyed this story quite a bit - liked the idea of the nanites living on past Ray/Bloodshot's 'expiration'. I'm thinking this *new* future bloodshot entity will evolve into the Von*New*Man of the Nanite Protectorate in 5480AD that we saw in the second story arc of Ivar, Timewalker. I wasn't entir...

Re: Sending off some serious books, just sayin'... ;)

Funny, I'm new to collecting and met Dinesh at ECCC in 2016. An old troop (yes, ex-military) turned me on to Valiant and said the new CEO was a kick *SQUEE* dude. Bumped into the "Nerd Boss" and I have to say, he was spot on! Ended up getting a few #1 Golds from him (A&A, Faith, Imperi...

Re: Faith #4 Discussion

I think that is exactly what Valiant is trying to do, lure some of the new age nerds ...I think they are trying to bring in even more females. While at ECCC, I talked to a few ladies that were waiting in line to get Jody's to sign a comic. Of the 4 I talked to, all were younger than 30, all enjoyed...

Re: Faith #4 Discussion

I've not been that struck on Faith since the start, but the whole arc's been fairly enjoyable on a no-brain-needed kind of level. Definitely irritated by the constant pop/nerd culture references though. Sure, Faith's a book 'by nerds - for nerds', but fairly constant narrations like 'just levelled ...

This was one of the big things that got me interested in Valiant (that and a cool "Nerd Boss" at ECCC). Really looking forward to these!!
