I'm around, but I don't check in regularly. To address your points: What I was getting at is that Solar was only acting normal when it was convenient. The second things didn't go the way he liked, he didn't hesitate to abuse his powers. The impression I got was that he went to Harbinger to get some ...

One advantage of a team book is that it gives readers multiple characters to latch on to. Don't like Superman? He's not the only guy in JLA. Don't like Radioactive Man? Songbird's on the Thunderbolts too. It's also a way to bring in other readers: Like Captain America? He's in Avengers too, so you m...

Boy is that ever a problem. Over the years, I've tried six or seven times to organize the collection, so it's incredibly haphazard. Most things are still in the bags that they were taken home from the store in. Some are in boxes, some of the ones in boxes are properly [that is, individually] bagged,...

Solar #3
I'm starting with 3 because it's the earliest Solar in my collection. Not because I'm weirdly arbitrary, although I can be that from time to time. Anywhoo... We open with Solar apprehending a couple of criminals, destroying the living crap out of their car in the process and welding them inside. The...

The 2 most powerful harbingers were always so ....... controlled. Harada and Sting. What if an Omega Harbinger just freaked out......... :o ... The way they operated within the status quo rather than totally upsetting it to reach their ends? Their measured, calculated application of powers rather t...

I liked the ending to the Malev war. It was the event for the future-set books, and it's conclusion was satisfying. Victory didn't come cheap, and you got the sense that the other characters were really pushing themselves, especially with Magnus killing Rai. Not everyone made it, and no one was goin...

Just saw this article on CNNMoney (Mainly about Marvel Comics) Comic Books are Alive and Kicking Interesting article. What is that last part referring to though? Is Steve Rogers coming back? Last year, one of Marvel's biggest sellers was a series about the death of Captain America, one of its signa...

So you're advocating a total reboot, then? Absolutely. I figure a lot of the people that would be interested in Valiant are like me -- I got into it when X-O started up. Not quite in at the birth with Magnus, but not that far off. I loved everything, but started to flake out around Chaos Effect and...

Imagine if VEI could do a series on HBO. How cool would that be. And I don't even have HBO. Given HBO's track record and the tone of Valiant characters, the fit is pretty much perfect. If you wanted to market comic books as a serious medium, that would really grab people's attention. How depressing...
