I'm going to have to check Broadway out. I'm sorry to say I've never read one. I do have at least one of every issue they published, so thanks for the tip guys. I'll break them out soon. It's just a shame the company was so short lived that you never get to see the characters develop to their full ...

Actually, KK is above Batman. In an issue of JLA, Batman remarks that KK's a level 17 (IIRC) fighter, while Bats himself is a 15. That's why he had Black Lightning give him a hand.

Valiant, Acclaim, & Broadway Wants and Trades (Sales?)

Hey, guys. I haven't been buying a lot of Valiants lately and just got bitten by the bug again to try and get my Valiant, Acclaim, and Broadway sets a little closer to completion. I'll list what I'm looking for first, then I've got my trade list below. Of course, if you want to buy something off the...

The Great Escapes are both really good (so I'm in between both with about an hour each way). The LCS I go to is called Comic Vault - it's in Radcliff close to Fort Knox. I've built a lot of my Valiant collection from there for 20% off cover. I know I overpaid on some common stuff, but I've also pull...

Sounds like the eighth. Normally in a first print the numbers would run from 10 down to 1. Second is 10 to 2, and so on.

Very cool to see so many faces from the old Valiant back in. Shooter, Hall, Rubenstein, and now Layton... I'm wondering who's next!

Here's another update - VEI also has trademarks listed for the following trademarks as well (all filed in December 2006, after the dates where VEI filed oppositions to VIP): Rai and the Future Force, Quantum & Woody, Eternal Warrior, and Ninjak. That still leaves Bloodshot, Dr. Mirage, Deathmate...

Just checked the trademark office. Don't know how accurate their info always is (I've actually spotted a few Acclaim comic trademarks that still show as live), but the VIP Harby trademark was filed right after the auction, and marked for opposition as of August 2006. There is another trademark (unop...

I'm definitely grabbing this. Is there any word on the exact in-store date yet?

I'm also wondering how Shooter's origin of Harada if and will vary from the origin story in Harbinger Files #1. :hm:

I'm going to have to go with one that's unlisted. Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?

Nice thing is that DC just reprinted it a couple of years ago so it...

I could see Gen-13 going up because of the Wildstorm reboot - people trying to grab the old run as well. That's probably what's affecting Cyberforce as well (think I heard about them coming back, too).

Re: Need some input from Star Wars guys....

Can anyone name all the figs in the pictures for me? For example, I know the black outfit Luke Skywalker is the Jedi Luke from the ROTJ (similarly, I know who most of the guys are), but what are the fig's called? Names too, if you know them would be great. Thanks in advance for the info! http://i19...

I can't believe that you missed #5, which is one of the most fun Luthor stories I've read in a while - namely Lex and Clark Kent get caught up in a prison riot. Like Ric said, these books have a "modern Silver Age" feel to them. They take a lot of goofy stuff you would have expected to see...
