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...

Looks like the exact same pencils that Branch inked, wonder if it was a try-out or Ivy re-did the inks after Branch's were rej...

Perlin/Dixon on Bloodshot *chef's kiss*

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...

Joe Petrilak's interview with Don (september '95): Great interview, thanks for sharing. Ditko was another one whose love for comics came from reading the first Batman comics. They shared some similarities with their approach to storytelling as well. Meat and potatoes is a good description. Don was ...

As a kid I didn't think his art was 'pretty' enough. As an adult I've grown to appreciate his storytelling ability and the way he was able to draw complex scenes in a way that made them easy to read. Way ahead of most Image artists that respect. In hindsight, I think Bloodshot 1-17 hold up as among ...

Sad news. RIP Don

Ryan Cady - The new writer of The Valiants kicking off the new Valiant Universe! 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. K, thanks

Do you have any previous comics work that we can check out? Thanks!

Outbid again, but did come closer than usual. Final price with fees was 3120 for two pages from issue 1. Compared to some previous auctions I guess this could even be considered a good price. I wish I had picked up more pages way back when the prices were lower. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-c...

I think Unity benefitted from being the culmination of a young, developing line of comics, and one that was plotted with the Unity crossover in mind. Starting from (almost) scratch, continuity wise, fewer than 60 issues built up to a wide-ranging, eight-title crossover. That kind of planning kept l...

Holy Moses! Im a bit speechless about what Im looking at here. You must know more about timeline than nearly anyone else, no??? :o So, my thoughts were this: Has anyone ever taken the time to go panel by panel to recreate the UNITY saga to have it all in chronological order and not have panels repe...

Thanks for the bump on this :) As I was reading through my VCS UNITY book, I noticed there is a lot of overlap and bouncing back and forth.. I was wishing that I didn't have to reread those parts and could just read through in as a linear story. Any thoughts about scanning pages or panels into a fo...

Thanks very much, man! I will be inking it but I appreciate hearing that. I aim for fairly tight pencils ahead of doing inks usually. I have to say, while I personally absolutely love the Spitfire series, I'm in the minority of New U fans for that. It only lasted 13 issues before being cancelled af...

Fair warning, this is a relatively boring page as far as subject matter goes - just some dialogue scenes. I kinda wince whenever I look at some of these panels. Page 4 with Jenny Swensen and Anne Pollicino; https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240408/9294b0c0b041585f417167a6a402a995.jpg Holy crap, th...

I forgot about Paul Norris. This is one of my favorite pages in all of GK Magnus. Helped having Mike Royer (former Manning assistant) add some Manning touches to the linework as well. M28 Norris-Royer.jpg Good page. First time I read that story was on the plane back from San Diego comic con in '95....

Cool. I think the post-Manning Gold Key Magnus issues are underrated. Yeah they aren't as good as Manning but taken for what they are they're high quality and add some quirky and fun things to the world. It's too bad Bolle and Spiegle never got to do any Valiant work while they were still around. T...

Best crossover event ever in all of comics? 1. Secret Wars - the classic that started it all, huge impact still being felt today. 2. Unity - the evolution of Secret Wars, perfected it imo. Only number 2 because the cultural impact wasn't as high as SW and maybe not as accessible to a casual reader. ...
