Re: This Board and Alien Books

You can try the Valiant subreddit, if you want. It's kind of dead too, but it gets slightly more engagement that this place. We need to infuse life back into this board, though. I mean both can be fun. Isn't the ultimate goal to talk to more Valiant fans? I guess it's unfortunate that you came back...

Please share your reading orders and guides here.

Hey guys, I'm a mod on the Valiant subreddit, and I'm looking to expand the menu links. If you all could share any good reading orders or guides, that would be awesome. I already have two for VEI, three for VH1, and one for VH2. I still have 10 more slots to fill.

Ninjak vs. the VU- Only the Battles (download and YouTube link)

Just figured I'd copy/paste this from Reddit. I really think this is probably the best way to experience this series. This is a barebones version of Ninjak vs. the VU (edited by me) that completely removes the story and almost all of the dialogue. Hope you guys like it. * Drive link: https://drive.g...

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

What would you put on par with Dysart’s Harbinger, LADOTH etc run or Vditti’s XO run or Lemire’s Bloodshot? Well... you may have a point there... Although I will say that titles like ENIAC, Refuse x Last Resorts, and Odinn's Eye are top-tier, and would probably give the series you mentioned a run f...

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

I think saying Bad Idea is better than VDitti XO, Dysart Harby, Kindt Rai etc is a stretch. I’ve read 3 issues of Orc Island and it’s very good. Bad Idea 1 was a mixed bag though so let’s not go crazy! Bad Idea definitely isn't "better" than VEI, but it's basically on par imo. It's unfort...

The line-up is appealing. Limited distribution continues to be a deterrent. The entire Kickstarter thing is unbearably obnoxious. It really is. How do these companies/creators get off on selling single comics for $20-40? People will really pay way more than they should, just because they're using t...

Okay, now build from here DMG.
Honestly, DMG has been fairly consistent lately. Shadowman/Book of Shadows, Armorclads, The Harbinger, and A&A, have all been solid, and worthy inclusions to the Valiant U. (imo)

Also, the sales figures were terrible and constantly descending which with each new title First of all, were sales figures really that bad?

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

People really forget that Pre-Unity only lasted like a year. VEI eclipsed VH1 around the time of Valiant Next, when they proved that they could still be great after a soft reboot.

Although I don't think it reaches the highs of BWS and Van Lente's runs, it's leagues better than Roberts' run (still haven't gotten around to Baron's run). Unlike most DMG series, this one actually feels like the A&A of old. It's not blowing my mind or anything, but it's really fun. That being ...

Money should not be the only driving force behind creative decisions.

Re: Book of Shadows #1

Tbh I didn't love it. I much prefer Bunn's more closed-off, intimate style, like in the first volume. The end of Vol. 2, and this issue, felt a little too blockbuster-y and fast-paced. It kind of feels like an MCU movie, but in the worst way.
