Re: RIP Don Perlin
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 ...

Re: RIP Don Perlin
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 ...

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

Re: Magnus 1 pages on Heritage
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...

Re: Let’s settle this once and for all …BEST VALIANT EVENT!
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.

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..

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.

Re: VALIANT DARQUE - a fan fiction concept
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.

Re: Crossovers
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...

Re: Let’s settle this once and for all …BEST VALIANT EVENT!
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. ...

I didn't get to Armour Hunters and HW1 and I know I read some of The Valiant but I don't have much memory. Would be interesting to see a poll just between those if they're considered the best VEI crossovers. Then a separate ranking between the VH1 crossovers, although I'm pretty sure the order would...
