Re: PREVIEW NINJAK #16

Little confusing reference to Fitz there...guy in the next panel looks like Fitz but I highly doubt it is supposed to be?

Re: Ninjak #15 Discussion

Did anybody try the phone number on the pen? I tried what I think it is (1-800-555-7858). Rings but no answer. And I'm not even sure that's the right number. Upon closer inspection it seems blurred to prevent one from telling whether it's 7656, 7856, etc. I guess it would be beyond hope Valiant set ...

Re: How many of you listen to OTV with adblock on?

Are the ads separate files or are they part of the normal stream? That would effect whether adblock even picks up on them.

Honestly, I haven't listened to OTV in about 8 months as that is how far behind on Valiant I recently became...

Re: Worried that Disney will sue Valiant for lightsabers?

Won't be an issue unless they call them lightsabers.

Ironically, Lucas himself seems to only ever call them "laser swords" when referring to his own stinking movies... :!:

Re: PREVIEW: BRITANNIA #1 (UNLETTERED)

So I only recently really caught up with Valiant, and thus only just read up on what Britannia is supposed to be. And I'll admit, I'm feeling a bit cautious right now. The first flag is that this preview reads more like what you'd see from Image. With the rich universe Valiant's created, it's surpr...

What is Bloodshot Annual #1 "Hellcloud Awaits" a parody of?

I got that the other backup was a parody of Crisis on Infinite Earths, but this one is still confusing me a bit on what it was parodying. It reminds me of a crazy indie comic from the '80s or '90s, or maybe an excerpt from an issue of Heavy Metal. Anyone have a more specific idea of what it is refer...

Re: Lemire's Bloodshot: Some thoughts

I can't dislike it. It's too much of a Fury Road homage for so much of it, hahaha.

I was annoyed that it was clearly a dream as well, but I'm able to look at it now as simply an Elseworlds-type story.

I think this new villain is actually going to quite intere...

It is just rampant speculation at this point since we know so little, I know. Still fun. Do you all think the character's superhero name is actually Divinity? Sounds more like a description of the concept of the character, not his superhero name. Like Imperium is not going to be the name of any actu...

Valiant doesn't have the right to Solar, and he's all tied up with the Gold Key license holders who would demand a fee anyway. From what I'm hearing about the power set of the main character of Divinity, combined with the tone set in the preview about people regarding him as a god or "god-like&...
