Re: Board Activity
Also, forums like this simply aren't really a thing anymore. Most people use social media. I think perhaps the combination of being in this unfortunately poor post-DMG takeover era in tandem with TheFerg’s point about social media apps over forum use are two of the biggest factors to explain the dr...

Re: Valiant Entertainment teams with Alien Books to expand publishing plans
the sky is falling How is this bad news? DMG is still in charge. that's it. that equals bad news. They got rid of people who cared about building the IP in the medium it came from: comic books. Then they nearly stopped supporting the IP, and wondered why their IP wasn't making money like they wante...

Re: Board Activity
I think I can speak for some of the old school/Shooterverse fans. The schism (hehe) that happened between VEI and Shooter that sent VEI into a reboot and Shooter to DH with the GK3 split some of the fans off as well. Not trying to re-litigate what happened, just stating the fact that certain type o...

Re: What I'd Like To See From VALIANT
This is a lot of discussion to take in and respond to, but I’ll try! :lol: Coming at this from the perspective of an old school VH1 fan who also really enjoyed a great deal of the Dinesh-era of VEI… I really think that trying to build anything around the Gold-Key properties again is an impossible dr...

Re: Jim Shooter's Post Unity VALIANT Universe
That’s a very interesting thought. If he had stayed at Valiant longer, he wouldn’t have had to suffer the diminishing returns of trying the same business model in subsequent companies. Could he have maintained the same momentum through more years with Valiant? Who can say… but we probably would have...

Re: What Are The Odds...
I could really use a break from origin stories. Totally agree - too many Valiant series in recent years doing a little too much navel-gazing, and/or trying to change/upset the status-quo of the previous generic 4-issue run in a newer… generic 4-issue run. It feels like that model is broken. I would...

Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH
So I finally read the pdf. This was one of my least favorite stories to date. It felt a bit like an afterschool special. I don't want to be too harsh, but it felt really pedestrian to me. I think they squandered the ability to produce a fully fledged graphic novel without single issues. It was a ne...

Re: Hi guys... been forever ... Archer/HARD Corps Query
I never played that GI Joe game back in the day… sounds like it would be a fun one to track down and mess with though! Grand Theft Auto V comes to mind as a modern game that did an incredibly good job of having three inter-swappable characters with unique abilities to play throughout the story campa...

Re: X-O Unconquered is an Ongoing
Spent $20 on the ComicsPro Edition, I was unimpressed ! :| Is it out yet? You must be impressed with the art? Seriously, tell us more - spoilers be damned!! (I mean… use the spoiler tags to be considerate of those who may not want to know yet… but *I* don’t care, I want to hear your thoughts on it!)

Re: Just One Comic From Valiant In May 2023– And It's X-O Manowar #3
facepalm My LCS wondered when they will stop publishing.

At this point it's a completely reasonable question...

The original art cover to X-O Manowar # 4 (the Pre-Unity, BWS one) is up for sale in this month's Comiclink auction. And the description basically refers to Valiant Comics in the past tense, noting: "Valiant returned in 2012 for a second successful run that continued for a decade." https:...

Re: Faith movie at Paramount
I really wish they would just cut their losses & sell it off to someone who actually cares about being a comic publisher, before they permanently ruin the whole IP (I think we’re already dangerously close to doing that). I know it’s a tough niche market out there these days for any company to on...

Re: What are you collecting these days? I've gone Golden Age and subscribed to Marvel Unlimited
After getting that copy of X-Men #94 earlier this year, I shifted focus to the Neal Adams X-Men run… I’ve currently tracked down decent copies of #56-61 so far! Looks like that 1st Sunfire issue is going to be an expensive one to add.
