WTS - Hardback Bound 90's Valiant books - Input needed.

I've started binding my old 90's Valiant books into hardback, like so... https://i.imgur.com/CiytBmwl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/k3w91arl.jpg Since then, a friend who was moving unloaded a long box and a short box of more 90's Valiant stuff on me, so I've not got a bunch of extras now taking up more ro...

Re: Ninjak vs. Ninja-k

Without going back to reread 90's Ninjak, I'd have to guess that Ninja-K works better in the modern era. Ninjak was okay for it's time, but there's always gonna be some good & bad in anything.

Re: VALIANT SOLD

I'm a little rusty on my Valiant history... Why did Shooter get forced out? And who took his place? As I recall, the venture(vulture) capitalists that had funded Shooters building of Valiant saw the dollar signs being created after Unity, and wanted to make back their bank plus profit, so with the ...

Re: To all those saying they are thinking of quitting Valian

Just yes.

Thanks for posting this, and if you see/talk with Dinesh again soon, pass on all our condolences for how this has gone down. I'll be supporting Valiant until I have good reason not to.

Re: My thoughts on VE2.

Like I said elsewhere, if they go to Birthquake levels of stupid and lack of quality, then I might be out. (I quit in the 90...

Re: VALIANT SOLD

I just saw the news that the Dr. Mirage show on CW was greenlit this morning now that DMG has full ownership. I have two thoughts upon hearing this: 1. Is there any possibility that DMG was dragging their feet and slowing things down in order to trigger the clause that gave them full control? (I kno...

That is just a bone to throw to us and to keep a little continuity going for a bit.) That twitter post...

Re: DMG Entertainment Acquires Valiant

I guess I'm gonna hang on for the time being and see what comes. If we get to the cheap and stupid level of Birthquake again, or if they try and reboot the universe, I'll likely drop out then, but I'll hold on for a while more at least. I do still hope for Valiant's future success, and I hope they m...

So at the end, they use a shield thing to trap him inside and he can only escape by taking off his armor. So he just goes and does this as his first option?!? This shield was originally used to keep X-O away from the Emperor. That usage, I understand. But trapping him inside the shield, WITH the ite...

Very excited about the possibility. Hopefully optimistic that this becomes reality. I would take a well done, hard 'R' movie with Vin Diesel as Bloodshot over a Disneyfied Bloodshot & Bloodsquirt kid friendly movie that can put toys in Happy Meals.
