Re: Dino Looking to Buy Back Valiant? (Bleeding Cool)

Putting out better books than VEI isn’t a high bar. The advantage VEI has is it’s an ongoing coherent universe. As good as some of the Bad Idea books are, I prefer to have an ongoing set of titles. I think he means better than Dinesh's VEI. Which is a big statement but if you've read Orc Island is ...

Bloodshot Unleashed #2

Overall I’m enjoying this series so far. The least interesting part is the battles with the super soldiers on the loose…it’s too OTT to the point of being a bit silly. The story around the battles is quite good though and I’m liking how recently Valiant are again dropping in continuity references. A...

Re: Dino Looking to Buy Back Valiant? (Bleeding Cool)

My feeling is Dinesh has moved on. While I know he (like all of us) still loves the characters, it’s not something he is focused on right now. If and when DMG is tapped out and the one book a month is finished it could be revisited but not until then. -Brian What a comeback story it’d be though if ...

Liam Sharpe’s art looks spectacular to be fair, hopefully the story delivers.

Re: Bad Idea 2 (Pt. 1) Late 2022 Slate Revealed!

I took a look at the campaign but it confused me. I cannot actually make out how many different books are being offered versus how many are just the same book in the a different format. It would be a lot less confusing if they used numbers instead of the "Hero Trade" for everything. I'm n...

Re: Bad Idea 2 (Pt. 1) Late 2022 Slate Revealed!

The line-up is appealing. Limited distribution continues to be a deterrent. The entire Kickstarter thing is unbearably obnoxious. Yeah but what are the rules of the Kickstarter? Seems to say if they reach $2.6 million dollars then they will produce nothing but if they get to $10k it unlocks a bunch...

I call it how I see it. It shows if they at least try and get back on track and don’t serve up dross then I’ll support the books.

Haven’t seen too many of your reviews in the published books section? :hm:

Re: Mass layoffs leave a skeleton crew at Valiant Entertainment

Actually, the new artist, Liam Sharp, is kind of world class. I genuinely can't believe Valiant can afford him. The more I see Sharp’s art the more I agree! His Green Lantern stuff was incredibly detailed and he’s a genuine A lister. My only concern for the new XO is the Cloonan/Conrad writing, I h...

Newsflash ….DMG release book worth reading!!!

Bloodshot Unleashed is worth picking up, decent story, art and no goofy politics inserted (I’m not saying there’s no politics at all just not the usual stuff).

Re: Bloodshot Unleashed #1

Similar to Swift I went into this (as with all DMG books) with lowered expectations. I’d heard mostly good reviews so kept an open mind. Overall I liked it! Art was clear (unlike the messy Brett Booth art) and the story a serious tone (unlike the dreary Tim Seeley story). Feels a little bit like the...

Re: Bad Idea 2 (Pt. 1) Late 2022 Slate Revealed!

Think I’m in on all of this! David Lapham doing writing is maybe the highlight. My only reservation is Christos Gage as his effort in Bad Idea 1 was abysmal which surprised me as his Valiant work was ok.

We are only looking at White Privilege. It exists. And it makes a big difference in the life of a POC. I love how people spout this nonsense as if it were a given. How about Asians as POC in America, according to the data they top the income charts? White males also top the suicide rates in the US,...
