Not a variant and I did not read this whole thread, but - did anyone ever do an all black cover or include a number 0 serialized in 1 through 10 before?

Also, btw, those Valiant Vison glasses works for any comic that has red and blue in the art - which means they "enhanced" every comic book known ...

Re: New VALIANT Ancillary Product

So original VALIANT did the Darque Brew and Armstrong Ale thing. What could the new VALIANT do that be comporable to that?

Maybe have Pepsi or Coke produce a VALIANT-related softdrink? If so, who would it be based on?

Have Nike produce Turok moccasins?

A Timewalker watch?

Some of those do ...

Underhanded EBay tactics

I know we've done this thread many times but I got "took" recently by two of these (gentlemen). So I might as well share.

They don't post shipping costs. If the auction ends within their expected range, they send a legit invoice. If they don't like the bid, they make up with ridiculous shipping ...

Either the 70 or so fanatics here bought 5 each or there are more Valiant fans than we figured. DF refunded my paypal payment and removed it from their site. I checked (virtually) every store in NYC and they all said they sold out (quickly). This is the only one I've seen on Ebay:
