Valient

That’s my new choice.

I know she was editing books for Valiant that were never released. I saw her on a panel and she mixed up Valiant characters. She seemed more interested in flipping her hair and looking cute than showing knowledge and excitement for the stories. That’s not to say I don’t think she was not a good edit...

And yes, to what Greg said.

I love the books, but my shop stopped carrying them. I could drive two hours to get them, but I don’t have that time. The variants are perplexing. I can’t figure them all out. I do love the stories, but k think I’ll be ordering them on eBay as they are too difficult to chase. I’m cool with that.

That is really awesome. I have the original cover art for this one, so it seemed appropriate. Thank you!

I’ll take it!

I mean, I think I have only the one copy and I believe Eisma and Fawkes signed it. It’s raw. I still like it, but the OCD in me wants a full unsigned set of books, and if I can get an extra signed, then that’s great. SS books are a novelty to me. I don’t dislike them, but I will get them when they a...

I had one signed a few years ago. Makes me wish I hadn’t……

Shipments are out.

New art added September 30. 28 pages. Mostly Eternal Warrior.

I saw a 9.6, if I recall, on eBay eons ago. I hesitated for an hour, and then when I decided to pull the trigger, it was gone.

I rarely see this book.

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad you enjoyed them!

Such a great story and art. Love these!

Thanks all. I added a folder for sold items so there is less confusion about what is available.

I do have several items on hold.

I'm finally starting to weed my collection down. This has been a long delayed exercise for many reasons. In almost all cases, the items are unique, rare or scarce. I'd like these to go to a good home to a fellow Valiant collector. No prices are listed, but just ask. I will price everything reasonabl...

How so?

If they didn't like you, you didn't get in the magazine. A bad review could kill a book. There were only a few people who were gatekeepers to the publication.

On the other hand, Wizard also killed opportunities.

Wizard was a king maker back on the day, consolidated into one coveted publication. It’s a different world now with social media and “news sites.” There isn’t an equivalent of Wizard today, in my view. There are certainly lists that impact the sale of back issues and spur buying of new books, but no...

I was pretty surprised by this auction. 3 pencil sketches for a Valiant Nintendo book sold for $9K with commission. One is a nice splash page, but still, higher than I thought it would go for. https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/other/dick-rockwell-group-lot-of-3-the-legend-of-zelda-3-comic-book-s...

Sounds like a fun read and right up my alley.

Can the Alien crew comment on who the creative teams are on these projects? Particularly Brittania?

Yea, syzhang28 is writing Brittania.

Continuity is also hard to measure. We have had all new Bloodshot, X-O, etc. within V3/DMG, and even Acclaim. It seems that Alien is going to take a similar “fresh” approach.

I’ve advocated for V1-V3 in the past, but have not gotten any traction! It seems easier to lump things together to me as collectors see it, and not in terms of ownership. The V1 Acclaim issues are a great example of that. Of course, that is also imperfect, now that we have the DMG years, and soon, t...

I’m here near daily. I still buy Valiant. Yesterday, I was at 2nd Charles for the first time. Bought a VEI variant for a dollar, and a newsstand. Still digging in the boxes.


Plus, an old Milk and Cheese. Love that comic!
