I think that what you’re describing about the most recent DMG-era of Valiant books is not the victim of poor editorial vision or guidance, but rather part of an evolving marketing trend of doing “soft reboots” to create jumping-on points for new readers. They are meant to give people on ramps with ...

The cover to Marvel US The Transformers #5, Dreadstar #1 and Infinity Gauntlet #1 are my holy grails I know I'll never get to own them but a guy always can dream. Oh man… that TF #5 Shockwave painting would indeed be a mighty grail piece to land! I have a single page of art from issue #30 & als...

Mine showed up with dents on the cover. top corner was dented enough to dent some pages also. I'm pretty damn displeased. it was just tossed in a box with not enough paper to protect/immobilize it. FFS. Sorry that happened to you - hope this isn’t going to be a thing for everyone, but if it’s poorl...

Wasn’t the augmented reality thing for the book scrapped after Travis (the designer) quit at Valiant? I remember reading about that somewhere - I thought he was the only guy they had who knew how to do that… unless they found someone else that figured it out after all?

And congrats to the proud new owners of the Lapham & Larosa pieces - if I’m not mistaken, I thought dbs was the previous owner of that Ninjak cover?

Valiant art is higher than it ever has been before. I'm selling a bunch of my pieces on another thread, at about the cost I paid for them. I've sold a lot. On general, the prices range from 1/3 to 1/2 of what they are going for now. It's kind of bananas. And at the other end of the scale, Dinesh ha...

You know, I lost track of the Comiclink auctions ending recently and it is really too bad how poor their website is with no tracking. I would have paid more for these pieces. Seller would have been happy. I have written and even talked to them about it and they know they are doing a disservice to b...

Got mine today too.

Same here

I will also mention that HC trade books are not a thing I’m typically interested in personally - so I won’t be looking to get into those HC collected editions. But I’m not much of a trade edition collector anyways so I’m not in that target market of collectors. I strongly prefer picking up regular o...

Great interview, glad to hear more detail about what’s coming and about the new shift in formats. For me personally, I’m interested in seeing the prestige edition becoming the new standard for Valiant books via Alien. It may be a higher price point but that’s totally not a problem when the content i...

That’s good art - what is Altercomics Studio though, is it related to Alien books in some way? Is this image being used for a Bloodshot title? Altercomics Studios team ups with Alien Books to bring new Valiant Comic Books! They're the studio that's handling the art for Alien's VALIANT books. So, li...

I have recently received shipping notifications for the HC Kickstarter edition of the book - keeping my fingers crossed that it arrives ok and we can finally put this whole sour thing to bed.

Wow dude - sweet page!!

Excellent pickups! I picked up one page (set of pencils & inks) from that series years ago as well - love Paulo & Joe Rivera’s work on it! There were more pages I wanted to get from the series but missed out on them. splashpageart.com still has a lot of great covers and pages from this seri...

I was watching Orphan Black over the weekend, right at the end of the fourth season. This one guy looked familiar but I could not quite place him. I looked him up on IMDb, he was Hubbel Urich on EFC. Love that show, and super proud that it’s a Canadian made series. No joke, I went out for dinner wi...

It's good. Canadians do slasher horror well.

We made one of the very first, and definitely one of the very best - Black Christmas (1974)

“The calls are coming from *inside* the house!”

The once-again recently relaunched Incredible Hulk has actually hooked me in again - the return to a darker horror-tinged vibe is right up my alley and I was already a big fan of Nic Kleins art, which has been a treat on the title. It feels like a proper spiritual successor to the Immortal Hulk run...

Anybody read the Dark Horse Creepy revival and archives of old Creepy Comics? There is a pretty good deal on Humble Bundle, and I'm thinking of getting it? This seems like something grendeljd would have interest in. Sent from my Pixel Fold using Tapatalk Yes, that would be right up my alley, sort o...

Cool. Wasn't The Boon also the name of the plant that made the Anni-Padda immortal in VH 2? Shooter had an idea for how he was going to link the origin of the immortals and Harbingers after Unity. I think that's in the solicits for those issues found on the main site. Sorry, my knowledge of VH2 era...

I believe that The Boon served a similar, if more limited form of origin for the VEI universe that has similarities to the Seleski origin of VH1. I haven’t read those early Archer & Armstrong issues in quite some time, but to my vague recollection the 3 Anni-Padda brothers all gained their powe...

The way I'd like to see it done is keeping the VEI iterations of the characters and continuity but infusing it with the tone and character arcs of VH 1, such as, for instance, Archer starting his journey to become a spiritual leader, something not present in either the VH 2 or VH 1 versions, and Ja...

Well that is super strange. I was trying to reply to a post in here but I keep getting an internal server error every time I tried - until I did that ‘test’ post above. If the post already had 5 quotes inside it, there might be a limit on quoting something that's already quoted so many times. ok th...
