VH1 Solar summary

Anyone have a paragraph or few sentence summary for the first half and second half of the VH1 Solar run? Or can point me to a good resource where I can cobble them together?

Re: Value of VVSS without COA and/or Valiant sleeve?

I find it incredibly strange that you would consider a VH1 set incomplete without stuff like a printer error copy of Bloodshot 0 or some signatures on an extremely common book. I assure you you can have a complete VH1 set without them, and that your childhood self cared about what was between the co...

The artist "Grey" from Giffen's Magnus run

Anyone know anything about the artist Grey from the first two (and part of the fourth) issues of Keith Giffen's run on Magnus Robot Fighter? He had a very cool Moebius-esque style which I assume was too slow-going to keep up with a monthly book. I haven't able to find anything about him on google or...

X-O Manowar VH1 Question!

So for The Chaos Effect X-O goes to space to fight the spider aliens in X-O #33 and then keeps fighting them up there in Armorines 6 and 7. But then in X-O #34 he's back on Earth in the jungle with Ken. Am I correct that that's all there is and we don't see Aric getting back from space or anything e...

VH-1 Magnus and Rai - 4000AD or 4001AD?

Is the future era of VH-1 called 4000 AD? Or 4001 AD? Or either?

I had thought it was 4000 AD because that's what Gold Key Magnus uses on the covers, but now looking at the valiant wiki it seems like it's 4001?

Anyone know the story behind Ron Marz leaving X-O Manowar?

I was looking back at X-O's original series and was curious why Marz left so abruptly? The house ads for X-O 51 and 52 said he would be writing them, but then when the actual issues came out his name was nowhere to be found. Did a check bounce? I know a lot of people here hate what he did on the boo...

Did the trade paperback of Predator vs Magnus have an introduction or afterword? If so would anyone be able to send me a hi-res scan of it? Can't believe this trade is still so expensive.

Is this omnibus going to actually be oversized? Or are they going to completely screw it up like they did the X-O Manowar omnibus and just reprint the pages at normal size with thick black borders around them?

Archer & Armstrong Classic Omnibus

So this comes out tomorrow - I'm left wondering is it going to actually be oversized? Or is the new Valiant going to screw everyone over again by laughably printing the panels regular sized but with a giant black border around them? I'm not going to even ask about the binding being sewn this time......

Re: X-O Manowar Omnibus

i doubt the company producing this books for them ask the same amount of money for two different sizes. I'm certain you're correct. Production cost more. As such, VEIs margin is probably smaller. In effect, they make less so you get more. ts a bad thing for valiant because if you read the collected...

Wow, Valiant COMPLETELY BLEW IT with this omnibus. I've never seen such a bait and switch swindle before.
