Totaly unrealted, and maybe this will rub a few the wrong way, especially since I am fairly new to the board, but I really hope not! I am in MI and unable to attend SDCC. Is there anyone willing to pick up an exclusive LEGO toy for me while there? I am more than willing to give compensation. I pick...

That seems like a very big drop, to halve the numbers of the first issue? I understand it's a variant cover (pull-box), but almost those that entire print run are extras...I would be somewhat concerned if the number 3 print run dropped a lot more, I think they would want around 20k (20k+ including ...

I'm really digging the cover on this. I'm going to have to pick it up, even if it is a Variant of a Variant

Valiant is supposed to be different and better than other publishers. And they are! Then let's not use the argument that because the other publishers do it makes it ok. I think higher of Valiant, I don't want that to diminish to the level of the other publishers. And besides, most of the big 2 vari...

Forgive me for starting a new thread, but I would really like to discuss something I just posted in another coming from the variant craze. What do you all think about VEI, It's future in the industry and where the comic industry as a whole is headed? The original post is below; ---- I see the 1:20 ...

IF VEI believes they need to continue with variants, I REALLY like the idea of a 1:20 or 1:25 and/or 1:50 line-wide variant that would be realistically attainable for most retailers and collectors. They wont need too, but the question is will they want to. The answer to this will define them as a c...

I think that's what's called a "straw man" argument. :) But, anyway, for me it's none of that. It's not about not wanting to pay for the variants. It's not about wanting the variants and not being able to get them. It's not about wanting to keep other people from getting the variants. It'...

not me. I gave up on Marvel 2 decades ago. Valiant was successfully the alternative to Marvel & DC for many years for a reason.

BINGO!

I heard something about a 1:100 gold XO #5 variant? Anyone know more about this? September is going to be a busy month for the completionists...

I paid a visit to 4 lcs yesterday. All of them had plenty of XO 1 1st pritings sitting on the shelf. None of them have any plans to order the 2nd or 3rd printing. It's too early to call it, so hopefully after a few more issues and also a couple more titles out, things will pick up and people will b...

As noted in the July Previews: Archer & Armstrong 2 9/5/12 Bloodshot 3 9/5/12 Harbinger 4 9/12/12 X-O Manowar 5 9/12/12 ...and unfortunatly there are a lot of variants facepalm It's odd to see them reversing the release schedule. So what variants do we have to look forward to here? Is X-O the o...

As noted in the July Previews:

Archer & Armstrong 2 9/5/12
Bloodshot 3 9/5/12
Harbinger 4 9/12/12
X-O Manowar 5 9/12/12

...and unfortunatly there are a lot of variants

From Another thread: Is this it? Are these going to be the only titles released this year? IMO I say yes for now - Maybe a new book in December/January. They have good titles to build a foundation upon and go from there. No need to flood out the product and murk things up. Build with what you have ...

I always liked that valiant was more innovative than the rest of the industry. VEI is just joining the rest of the industry by doing so many variants. QR Variant was not innovative? REALLY? First ever talking cover? It was innovative, but the majority of comic buyers will never know about it since ...

Title says it all. Where should I looks for 90s art as well as the new VEI art?

I always liked that valiant was more innovative than the rest of the industry. VEI is just joining the rest of the industry by doing so many variants. Ironically I was just reading Solar #5 and the Jim Shooter page at the end had this to say, "5 different variations of the same book is just bla...
