Re: So I just finished Unity... What Now?

Not gonna lie, I feel a little let down. Is this really all the good stories from VH1? How did it gain such a dedicated following if almost nothing post-Unity was noteworthy? :? ...and only 8 replies? I thought I was about get flooded with responses, seeing as this is the largest Valiant community o...

Re: How many "Events" has Valiant done?

I would only call harbinger wars, armor hunters, book of death and 4001 events. I think valiant definitely bills The Valiant, Divinity and similar minis as event series but in my mind they arent events because they dont have tie-in issues. Also, if you compare an event like Futures End from DC whic...

So I just finished Unity... What Now?

Although Unity and (most of) pre-Unity was great, I really have no desire to read every single title going forward. With that being said, are there any books that I need to check out before totally giving up on VH1? So far, I've pretty much liked every character/series equally, with the exception of...

Re: 17 pages of ads..

Oops I hope that's not a spoiler. facepalm I count 17 pages of ads in the X-O Annual. 43 pages of story. Stories good. Ads bad. That's really why I dropped the big 2. So many ads interrupting the story. Here there was only 1 ad interrupting 1 story. Other's were wisely placed in between the shorts ...

Re: How many "Events" has Valiant done?

So it would be safe to say one, at least, per year, maybe two. How does that stack up against Marvel or DC for the past 4 years? Well it's hard to compare, because when Marvel does an event it takes up the entire publishing line for like 5-6 months, while Valiant can have an event like The Valiant ...

Re: How many "Events" has Valiant done?

So, to round this one off, we basically all agree that the total number of events to date is 6, with no dispute on what the event titles were. Umm.. no, I disagree. I think it's safe to say that Unity was the first team-up book VEI ever published, and it just so happened to cover (almost) all corne...

Just curious. I've heard the term "Pre-Unity" thrown around a lot, which makes me think that he left soon after Unity. :? Can anyone fill me in on a little Valiant history 101?

I like that I can read stories on characters I grew up with 20 years ago. I like that the CEO of Valiant is so enthusiastic...

How Should I Consume the Classic Valiant Universe?

So, I've decided to slowly go through the entirety of classic Valiant (and Acclaim... maybe), and I'm wondering in what order I should read this stuff in. Right now, I'm alternating between books, in order of release in preparation for Unity, but it's really kind of hard to stay excited day-by-day w...
