I didn't even realize volume 1 was out. Shows how good my attention is.

I did want to check - how do these compare to the DC Archives? I saw they were hardcover. Are they on the same type of paper? Thanks!

David B.

Yeah, when they launched I was getting Comet and the Fly - Fly because I liked the concept and Comet because of Tom Lyle's art (I'd really enjoyed his Starman stuff). I've managed to piece together part of a run on Comet, but don't have a whole lot that are back to back. How is Crusaders? I've never...

Mine got here today and it looks great! Thanks again, Dan!

David B.

Thanks, Cinlach. I'd been working to finish out a run of the Comet I started when the Impact line launched. I can't believe how hard those back issues are to find! Here's hoping I get good news in a couple of days...

I don't really have anything out of the ordinary with regards to Valiant, I'm afraid. My real prize would have to be my colorist pages of George Perez's art from the Judas Contract storyline in New Teen Titans.

David B.

I think the official line was that it would make the titles more accessible to new readers. You could go into any of the #1s not knowing anything about the characters and be fine (for example - in Ultimate Spider-Man, Uncle Ben actually survives a couple of issues before the inevitable). This also l...

Well, at least there is some good news. Looks like he's pulled all the auctions for the certificates.

Unfortunately, it really happened. I think it was last summer - I remember it was the storyline where the comic book store owner cut his hair and went out on a date with this girl, only for Wally Winkerbean (who'd been thought KIA in the Middle East) to return and take her away. The art was still pr...

That just happened to me last week. Went to my LCS and grabbed a copy of Shadowman #8 (VH1) out of the back. Still had a $20 price sticker on it. There I believe that the Valiant stuff was just moved to the back out of space concerns. Still, makes me feel like I got a bargain when I got it for $1.50...

The comic shop owner got arrested for selling obscene materials. A flashback told us that the woman who turned him in to the police is a friend's mother who once protested a school magazine as having obscene poetry. It's still going - looks like we'll have some legal drama coming up. On a side note ...

You know, I'd be all over this if he only had some Deathmate issues to go along with that Turok #1. Oh, well. Back to the search...

David B.

Wow. I'd love to see this work out - and to see how Taddeo could make this work. Maybe if he does get unknowns to write and draw, he'd start recruiting here?

David B.

Tried to send that as a pm, oh well. Thanks, Chris!

David B.

Wow. Reading these horror stories makes me appreciate my LCS even more. The only Valiants left in the long boxes in the front are from VH2 (first time I really looked, I pulled Harbinger Acts of God and Unity 2000 1 &2). They're also good about letting me check out the stuff they've got in the b...

Hey, Chris! I just saw this and was wanting to see if you've still got a Solar #2 left. Also, I'm getting ready to send a money order for some books I bought from you today on Ebay (username is davidb1701) - is it all right if I put the shipping for this book in with the auction payment? Thanks! Dav...

It was part of a storyline they're doing now. She's having the comic guy arrested because he's selling adult comics. Talk about a story ripped from the headlines...

David B.

Hey, guys. I've just started really getting into Valiant stuff and have gotten a lot of good information from all of you here! My question is this - I saw some ads for a book called "The City Knights" by Tim Bradstreet that was supposed to come out through Windjammer not long after Birthqu...
