ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

birthday cake boy Also, the sales figures were terrible and constantly descending which with each new title, new book, the story lines would Meander and drift into nothingness and there were hardcore vei fans that were just not on board with the books at that point, I personally never liked them af...

If Dinesh does but back Valiant will it be at a lower price than he sold his shares for? Also, he’s been oddly quiet so I think he’s working on this in the background. What do you all think? I think it is time to let Valiant rest for a while. Recover from the damage of the last few years. The price...

In comics the reality is that the vast majority of customers are still white males (to some peoples disgust). Not because there’s never been female, gay or ethnic characters in the past as those books have been on the shelves for decades but have never proven to consistently sell as there isn’t eno...

It’s all on this Valiant published books section…there’s only about 4 people who contribute these days though so feel free to jump in

I'm a token gay too!

Go us! *Returns to lurking*

Glad everyone feels confident being themselves on the board.

That would be immense!!

As the token actual gay person who occasionally posts on this board (I know most of y'all barely know who I am), I agree that woke stuff is cringe. But a character being gay, or black, or trans, or a woman isn't by itself being woke. Woke is when you spend all your time preaching about how virtuous...

It was only a matter of time I guess. Perhaps for the best. RIP Valiant, again. :| The death of Valiant comics 4 years after the majority ownership decided in 2018 they didn't need Dinesh Shamdasani, the primary creative force... seems familiar since... The death of Valiant comics 4 years after the...

Post Dinesh era I blame Fred Pierce or whoever it was who appointed the editors at that point. This was a pivotal moment where they chose sub standard creators and chose badly on the direction of the company. They didn’t learn and quickly doubled down on hiring the Heather Antos types who in term br...

What recent news? I know Gregg Katzman left, who else?

Scratch that, just seen the post.

[If you don't enjoy reading Valiant comics anymore then why are you reading them? Valid point with the meal analogy! To answer your question on why I still read Valiant, I’m ever the optimist that someone, somewhere will turn things around. Already said elsewhere that I’m optimistic for new XO and ...

I don't have A&A as my avatar, but I did make a review video of the issue: https://youtu.be/tPD7smNB8uA I am loving A&A: Forever! It feels very connected to Fred Van Lente's run. Its got continuity, good action, and strong character voices. Definitely my favorite book on the stands! Yeah I ...

That actually makes it worse, imo. Because if they don't care about sales of the title then it confirms that it is nothing more than a political/cultural agenda (which we all know it is anyway). Money should not be the only driving force behind creative decisions. Biased political agendas shouldn’t...

Overall this issue was fine, nothing spectacular, but readable. Archer takes Armstrong around the world looking for a cure to return his immortality. Only a few panels spent at each location so the story moved along at a good pace. New character ‘the Maw’ looks visually interesting, hopefully a good...

Not a big fan of these characters, I think it would take a very talented writer to make them interesting. Ever since FVL’s first VEI series I think he wrote Armstrong into a corner by making him impervious to any damage and able to recover/grow back limbs like it was nothing. Another example of FVL’...

Are we supposed to know (assume) that "Joe" at the end of Harbinger #8 is a "harmless" ("powerless") version of Peter? If so, the end of the story seems to have been written during episodes of Moon Knight, and Joe is mild-mannered and unaware like Steven Grant. I got t...

Full disclosure, never been a Shadowman fan and I thought Bunn’s Punk Mambo mini was very mediocre so I came into this more in hope than expectation. Also, I’d heard Bunn’s Shadowman was decent but I haven’t read any. This was below par. Poorly (lazy?) designed bad guys…werewolves with weird (and no...

So this mini series concludes,…pretty meh stuff. Couldn’t remember a single character name if I had a gun pointed at my head. Long messy battle scene where unmemorable characters fight with other unmemorable characters. Long story short, the main character and the Armorclads or Ironclads (?) escape ...

Every generation seems to become more and more queer. This is just a fact. "Seems" and "fact" is a little incongruent, imo. I'm just saying that it's not a problem that Superman's son is bisexual. It's not a problem, it's just stupid. This is the Atom Bomb of gaying up a title. ...

Picked up 5 x Quantum and Woody and 1 x Trinity Angel Acclaim phone card. EBay seller said they were 1:600 (Q&W covers 1-4) and Q&W and Trinity Angel variant covers 1:300, does this sound about right for the ratio? On phone cards (back in the day) these weren't ratios. They were "1 of ...

I don’t know how to post pictures here, someone explained it once and it sounded convoluted.
