The Jedi Code is portrayed as being the central philosophy and dogma of the Jedi Knights. Several versions exist, and the code is portrayed as having been appended over the millennia. By the time of the Clone Wars it included many fairly esoteric prohibitions far removed from the core beliefs of a ...

I have always been on the Sith side of the Force. The Jedi Code: There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is only the Force. The Code of The Sith: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through p...

The books to get ASAP:

Magnus: Steel Nation
Solar: Alpha and Omega
Solar: Second Death

Concentrate on getting these first in that order. Everything else will fall into place afterwards.

Definitely a tough choice, but I have to go with Magnus. The "Steel Nation" storyline from the first four issues is, in my opinion, one of the greatest comic stories ever written. I can't say much more than what's already been said about this character. But it should be pointed out that Ma...

Don't hurt the noob.

Who is Stu?

Beautiful sketches by the way. The sketch of Sting is my favorite. The one with Kris, Baby Magnus, and 1A is a close second.

So today, I was at a local comic convention. I started my dig through various 50 cent boxes for all of the Valiants I missed. I had a nice healthy stack of later X-O Manowar, Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot, and one or two Shadowman issues. Also found some VH2 stuff. And I put almost all of it back. I wa...

Well, I figured out what to do. I am going to try to be a VH1 completist, yet still try to be a cheap *SQUEE*. I found some VH1 stuff in the quarter boxes today, and the X-O trade Blue Variant at half cover price. I mean, come on. Comics for a quarter? If I can get most of VH1 this way, then why the...

I had similar thoughts. I thought a good idea would be to set up the new stories with a vague reference to the missing aspects. This way, they could be added later if they managed to recieve the rights. For example, when NOW comics launched their Green Hornet title, the first two or three issues wer...

Why buy the later issues of VALIANT?

I'm having a bit of a mental dilemma, because like most comic book readers / collectors, I have something a little bit wrong with me. I recently discovered this website, and it has been nirvana for me. I had no idea there were this many passionate VALIANT fans out there. Friends from the comic shop ...

Here's a question... Can a relaunch / reboot / retcon of the VALIANT Universe work WITHOUT Magnus, Solar, and Turok? Since we know these properties are owned by Random House, what if the current owners of the Valiant characters could not liscense them? Should they attempt to rebuild the universe wit...
