Re: Free Comic Book Day 2024

What might this contain? FCBD24_SILVER_Alien-Books_VALIANT.jpg Wow. Really, really bad anatomy. Every head is too small. Livewire's boobs are bigger than her head. The forearms are too short. X-O's right arm doesn't make any sense and what's up with his green face? Glass? Okay, but why? This looks ...

Re: I've deciphered the Deathmate reading order.

So... ....and I'm also missing both Greens and the Tourbook. Sigh... To my understanding, there is only one Deathmate Green, not two. Maybe you mean you are missing both previews? I don't consider the Tourbook a vital part of Deathmate. Then again, I'm not a completionist. I'd be curious about the ...

Re: Time travel rules in Valiant?

Marvel comics exist in the Marvel universe. She-Hulk has cited them in court. Many of the persons depicted in those Marvel-within-Marvel comics also exist in the Marvel universe. Faith said that Marvel comic books exist in the Valiant universe. Did she say that these characters were exclusively fic...

Re: Time travel rules in Valiant?

But it's not that I call it time travel, it's that the comics did. Phil messing up with time was at the crux of his conflict with Mothergod. She believed he screwed up time. He was directly responsible for creating the immortals, aliens, and such. Ok, so you're saying there's no alternate world cre...

Re: So, Deathmate Jade

Trick of the light. In person, that cover is silver. Not quite a mirror finish but it is silver. That being said, printing errors may be out there, as well as age and improper storage, there might be one or more out there that look a little jade. It would surprise me to see such an example, there ar...

Re: So, Deathmate Jade

I haven’t dug the issues out in a while but as I recall, it was silver. Both the Prologue and Epilogue were silver.

Am I right in remembering the Deathmate White had no interior pages? Just a cover? Or was it a misprint? Oh, things I haven’t thought about in nearly ten years.

Re: Time travel rules in Valiant?

That begs the question, if nothing can be changed or altered, why even time travel at all? To see what was, what is, and what will be. Ivar time traveled to reunite with Nefertiti. That's cool. It does seem like in some of the stories, the characters at least think they have the ability to change e...

Re: Which Deathmate book was this in?

I was thinking about Solar’s speed earlier. He flew to another star to absorb it and came back in what, hours? Energy is limited by the speed of light. But it seems like the more we learn about the speed of light, the less we know about it. Almost Heisenbergian in that way, I guess. Today, the conce...

Yes, crossed some wires. It had been a while - like 15 years since I read Alpha and Omega. I forgot about the star but remembered Phil panicking when Gayle started getting sick and sucking it all in.

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

It would take a LOT of anti-matter to destroy the world. By a factor of mass times the speed of light squared. If Solar could, at that early point in his having powers, convert energy to matter, he likely could just as easily convert energy to anti-matter. That could be a considerable source of anti...

Cool, I just have a different opinion.

We can agree to disagree on that. I would agree that the world would change. Rai #...

Realistically, nobody has the stomach to give money for that as a fan including you, and the comic would be committing a larger self sabotage than they currently are that would lead to even faster death than what we saw with VEI. Comic writers of the last decade really haven't shown they're savvy e...
