Re: Oh Sony. my Eternal Love

at the worst the project will be shelved. at best it will get a new creative team.

new owner/ management always means new direction. lets hope the new guys like comics.

Re: Long Term Collectability of modern comics

out of sight out of mind right? twd and other modern comics need to stay in the public interest if they will gain and or retain value. sure TWD has made great waves but i don't see any lasting power. 50 years from now it will be easier to remember a god character in red and blue tights and a giant &...

Re: Does Valiant make writers sign NDA's?

A few years ago I asked Rob Venditti about his opinions on the way Legends of the Geomancer was released and whether he wanted to talk about it and couldn't or whether he could talk about it and didn't want to was never made clear. Bone-a-Fach-ee was there and as soon as I asked the question Rob lo...

Re: For all the "Invincible" Fans- Series Ending Announcemen

ah man i just finished reading vol 6. by far one of the best reads in the super hero genre. i'll have to order the rest of the hard covers before they skyrocket in price.

Re: obsessive encapsulation collections

I own three slabs. One is a 9.8 copy of the first comic book I was ever given and another is a 9.8 copy for the first comic I ever bought with my own money. I thought it would be cool to have a pristine copy to go along with my battered original copies, but after opening the boxes and looking at tw...

Re: 17 pages of ads..

photo use in comics to me means a couple things:
1 lazy artist
2 over worked artist
3 under paid artist
4 under skilled artist
5 uncreative artist

IMO it reflects poorly on VEI and any other company cutting corners.

Re: I might be out on Valiant

well i might be back in. i'm halfway through reading the book of death hard cover. it's great! maybe i'll just stick with hardcovers. Hardcovers are what got me back in. It's just a better reading experience, for me at least. Totally agree! :thumb: Trades and HC's work best for me too! Mkb28 :thumb:

Re: I might be out on Valiant

Dinesh has always said the comics come first and backed that up in action. Anything VEI does marketing wise that I've seen has been because it makes sense and not to make a quick buck. I am 100% confident in Dinesh and Crew to keep making awesome stuff and not become sell-outs. yeah sorry i said no...
