ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I will say this though - my initial impression of a Grendel In Space story is one of some mild skepticism... I think it will end up being just as great as all the rest of the series has ever been, but it does seem like an odd choice to make a space opera out of a book largely grounded in a future ...

Done with the first Witcher. I took my time getting to this franchise, but after I read the short stories collections and the novels (read 7 books in 2 weeks or so), I was reaaaaaally curious about the games.

In terms of plot, this had one of the greatest twists I ever experienced, that with ...

And I was going to say, after reading Past Prime I was really wishing there was a new Grendel series based on The Paladin...

turns out there *will* be!!! Matts newest Grendel project is set in the Grendel Prime era! :o

Set for release in October:

I have to dare you, Greg- you have to find the time in your life to go and write a Valiant history book. Seriously, you are the guy who could do it, and we would kickstart the heck out of it.

Congrats on another awesome source for Valiant stuff.

Dino buys company back for pennies on the dollar in a few years-my prediction.
That would be amazing. :cloud9:
+1!!!

Would love to see it happen. :hope:
Part of me really wonders whether Dinesh would want to become involved in Valiant again. By the time it ever (hypothetically) came up for ...

I am gonna try to map all of the Old World gamebooks in my next readings (thinking Vault or Shadow Warriors), so more to come. :thumb:

Alright, now I am even quoting myself. 8-)

And I did as I said. Yesterday I finished Vault of the Vampire and tonight it was Legend of the Shadow Warriors. Two ...

Tonight I ended up a string of 4 evenings dedicated to help the good people of Analand and go through 4 books in order to retrieve the Crown of Kings, a very special thing in my parts, apparently. In normal human language, I finished playing Sorcery! by Steve Jackson, and perfectly illustrated by GW ...

Its not only the best VEI (or all Valiant, honestly) series that I read but it is the one V book that made me feel stuff I never expected to feel while reading a comic made by a superhero publisher. Its bananas how much heart, smarts, bada**ery, epic confrontations, moral dilemmas, superb ...

Ok, now I feel I have to post here whenever I do anything related to gamebooks... so be it. Thanks for reading and hope I'm not too much of a thread-eater. You can always ignore. :D

A couple of nights ago I finished one of my books that I haven't played in a while and never finished before.
Black ...

Although reading this book as it came out was one of the best comic-book "experiences" I ever had... I do envy someone who is just starting to discover what gem Joshua Dysart did. Its just that good.

Naruto.

I started reading this back around 2007, and used to buy 5-ish books at a time from Amazon and read them on my lunch breaks at work. I read probably about the first 50 books, and when I quit that job to take up a degree I had neither the time or the money to spend on it, and I haven't got ...

Ok, as I said in the previous post, here's my final thoughts on YOU ARE THE HERO, the book on the story of FF books.
This belongs in the shelf of any fan of the genre, let alone FF. Its simply a must-have item.
Details/behind-the-scenes stuff related to the original line are on the hundreds ...

Quintuple post, and by now, I already start to feel like I'm talking to myself, guys and gals. Almost 14000 thread views and so little content- c'mon, leave thy swords and backpacks alone for a minute and post some more stuff. Last thing I want is this turning into a solo thread... like a gamebook ...

Quadruple post, apologies if bothered. :thumb:

Ok, strong gamebook mood that I'm in, I decided to stroll around eBay to check for better copies of some of my most battered green-spined scrolls.

:o :o :o

What the serious FF, for yet another F joke. I know that almost 13 years after I started ...

Triple post, damn it- apologies again. :|

Ok, so I finished Howl on my 2nd.
This book is awesome. Just purely awesome.

For context, I decided to avoid basically any path that I felt was doodoo from my first try, and went a completely different route. Completely. Different. To the point where ...

Double post, apologies.

Ok, first: I started playing Howl of the Werewolf tonight, died with the main baddie because of Lack of Stuff. I was expecting since I went straight to the guy, not worrying that much about exploring.
I am loving this book. Loving it so damn much . Werewolves are a hit with ...

DP, sorry but this is kinda hot. :P
I went and looked what the actual contents for this issue were, mostly to see iof there was a HPL here (there is, "The Festival" 1st reprint), BUT that's not why I am Double-posting.

There's a story simply called " The Cat-Woman ", by a lady named Mary ...

Great stuff, Greg- Thanks for sharing the panel, I had bever seen it and I do have a couple of History of Batman type of books.

So...
Ol' Bobby Kane had the mission of creating a Superman type of character, he had a weekend to do it, we know how Finger saved his butt and how bad, just BAD, the ...

Most people have never seen this...

A panel from More Fun Comics #28 (January 1938) by Superman creators Siegel and Shuster, 16 months before Detective Comics #27:

Wow! :o
Interestingly, throughout the Detective Comics #27 story (except for the ...

Now, Heroes in Crisis...
:rant:
I haven't kept in touch with DC for about 10 months, haven't read a single book since the last Doomsday issue, but I saw the deaths of both Wally I and Roy. Hope i'm not mistaken,
This reeks of DARK DC, in a way that I don't like. S-it, what do DC editors have ...

Comics-related:
- stop buying current comics for me as they are released- wait for feedback and tradewait whatever is "good". :thumb:
- Try to avoid the upcoming Detective Comics 1000 madness, at all costs. YOU DON'T NEED MORE THAN ONE COPY, MAN!!!!!! OR 2, MAX 3!!! :!:
- read every single Grendel ...
