Re: Putting together a DEFIANT Comics fanzine

Just joined the Facebook group too. I have to admit that I sort of surprised that there isn't a podcast about Defiant Comics, given that there seems to be a podcast about everything else now of days. :? :o :P I'm tempted to start one myself. Between a full time job and some *SQUEE* going on in my p...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

Sean Murphy could do Shadowman, easily. He has such a cool style here, and anyone who can draw a great looking Bat book can do Shadowman, I would think. AND, big plus, he can do great, great fight sequences, so maybe Ninjak as well? If Valiant grabbed this guy, that would draw a lot of attention. H...

Re: State of the comic book market

I think one thing comics should focus on is their world wide distribution. I don't know anything about international distribution but just a couple of my experiences overseas. I think Europe is likely a hard market because they have a strong history of producing their own comics same as Japan. Year...

Re: State of the comic book market

If the comic companies could figure out how to get new stories to the peeps that would be interested in them, WOW, it would be massive. Distribution is a big problem. I miss the days of being able to "stumbling into" comics at a convenience store, drug store or Wal-Mart. You just don't se...

Re: Random thoughts on the DMG takeover for Valiant...

If the focus is on the Asian market, I for one would be all for Hong Kong style Valiant movies.

There is already an Indian Shadowman, so perhaps there is a market there as well.

As a parent, my kids are not into floppies the way I was when I was their age. However, they love graphic novels like Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet.

Interesting stuff in this thread. I never knew the whole story just always found it sad that it seemed things were left a bit acrimonious. I love all the worlds Shooter has had a hand in creating (VH1, Defiant, Broadway) and VH1 Unity #1 might be the most pivotal book in my comic buying years but I ...

Those first three years of Upper Deck sets were amazing. I still remember that I pulled the Griffey out of a pack in '89. Then, that Christmas my Dad got me the '89 Upper Deck factory set.
