Subsequent to the introduction of the Armorines, though, it might make more sense for them to be the ones that take them out once and for all. That would have been an epic story worth seeing. Like, maybe the Armorines invade the Spider Alien homeworld. By then, their number could have increased to ...

Others might. You do bring up an interesting point about the Spider Aliens. Rai #0 didn't cover how the threat they posed to Earth was neutralized. Since the Armorines didn't exist at the time, it would have fallen to X-O Manowar to take them out, but that one-shot only really showed how he died an...

Sure, but what we do know about the events chronicled in Rai #0 can inform what those futures might be. For instance, presumably Ninjak's story ends with a final battle against Dr. Silk. Maybe something like the last battle between Holmes and Moriarty even. Ok, but what in Rai 0 informs us about th...

There's Ninjak, Timewalker, the Armorines, Doctor Mirage, the Secret Weapons (either iteration), and Turok (he had a sort of cameo from his later appearance in Secret Weapons #1, but we don't really know what happened to him). Any theories? I doubt any of the original writers had many plans past th...

Ah yes, good one. I had forgotten about "the father of the people".

Yeah, heh.

This is a more constructive critique than the other thread. Thanks.

Shadowman and Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell ("Shadowman Out of Deadside").

Say that Alien did a series of covers inspired by albums and/or music videos. Which VALIANT character would you connect with which band or artist?

For instance, just as a random example, Harbinger and KISS or Harbinger and The Partridge Family (the latter on account of Harada's Eggbreakers)?

I can't see YouTube, any chance of a summary or what new info was revealed?

Can't recall offhand, but I don't think it was anything overtly specific. Just overall excitement hyping the importance of the story.

Yeah.

Cool. I hope I'm able to get them someday.

I like the idea too with the right artists. It’d be great if they could get some of the VEI top artists from the relaunch days (2012-2015). LaRosa, Suayan, Nord, etc. to give their interpretations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That would be fun, for sure. And some classic artists too, like Ha...

Not if done right.

Over on the Facebook page Martin Casanova from Alien likes the idea. He thinks it could work as part of next year's 35th anniversary. It be cool if they could implement it. It has the potential to be a lot of fun.

If Alien Books were to publish covers that homage the original VALIANT Universe but flipped the characters around, which VEI iteration would homage which VH 1 cover (i.e. VEI Bloodshot homages the cover to VH 1 X-O Manowar Vol. 1 #1, VEI Archer & Armstrong homages the cover to VH 1 Harbinger Vol...

Absolutely.
