Re: Post Resurgence


Potentially, the most interesting thing in a hypothetical meeting between VH-1 Faith and VEI Faith would be the latter's relationship with VEI Archer, where, in contrast, VH-1 Archer married VH-1 Flamingo.


I have zero interest in the old Valiant being brought into modern day. Bring back the ...

Re: Post Resurgence


One interesting aspect of a meeting between the three Faiths (VH-1, VH-2, and VH-3) would be that the first one would be the eldest of the group, having been born in the '70s (the second one would be only slightly younger, having been born in 1981), and also have had more experience as a member of ...

Re: Post Resurgence


At the end of Resurgence, the VEI iterations of the VALIANT characters became lost in the multiverse.

Most are in the Underdeadside, some are still in the VEI reality, and Aram and Faith appear to be lost in the bridge between them.

What if Faith and Aram end up finding their way to the VH-1 and ...

Your definition of terrible is "if it's not like it was in the '90s, it's bad no matter who does it".

Nothing I saw from the Antos and Hawkins eras contradicted the world Dinesh built. He might have taken things in a different direction, but that doesn't mean that what they did wasn't ...

The comics are terrible. That's not really up for debate.

If you can't see bad editing, you aren't qualified to talk about editing.

Here's something I found in literally one second of looking:

"Garbled mess of a story
Made even worse with Fred Van Lente’s ‘funny’ quips
Forced cameos by virtually every character in the Valiant U for ‘reasons’ :?

But when you think we’ve hit rock bottom…enter Psi Lords facepalm

Oh man.... Now THAT is exactly how I picture Shadowman. I wish VEI would take him in this direction. Mysterious, mystical and 100% Adult oriented.

Would be a big hit IMO.

Why would it not just be exactly as big a failure as when Acclaim did it that way?

It sounds like Alien and DMG work together on the books (Alien has to run everything past DMG) so I imagine IDW is helping from a publisher standpoint.
Because they are the same company

Re: "We Anticipate Being Able to Focus on Expanding": Valiant Publisher Breaks Down New IDW Deal



Then what's the problem?

Dinesh set up his own world building for VEI, and DMG and Alien have been consistent with it.


You didn't answer the question though, it had nothing to do with VEI vs DMG. I'll make it more clear for you:

Here's what I don't understand. You've railed for decades that ...

Was there a mistake in the first place? We assume that there was a way to accomplish everything he accomplished and not get pushed out but I don't think that's true. Lets look at what was accomplished

He maintained the core feel and ideas

Sure. But when Shooter did it alone at Dark Horse, the writing was just not as good even if the art looked the same. Something -- or someone -- was missing.

If there were clear answers as to the rights, that would likely mitigate the hostility.
