Fixed that for you.

Should that be Valiantfans, you think instead of just Valiant fans? :hm:

Well, we're not all of the fans, just the most vocal, collectively. If we were all of them, they probably wouldn't have survived.

He does eventually come to answer questions in the WARREN ANSWERS thread. People could always show their support for this move on Valiant's part there.

I have it from a reliable source that he's been known to hog the photo copier. So what do you think of him now?
Depends on what he's copying...

Actually, it might have been the printer. Apparently he needed a lot of hard copies when he was a collections or reprint editor at Marvel

I just put two and two together: Warren got the title (well deserved) because one or two former DC editors are joining the staff and they want no p!ssing contests about hierarchy. Smart move.

Screw the Hollywood film announcement idea, the massive announcement is that they're selling all VEI rights to a video game production company so that the properties can be used to make a few games and then disappear into the ether as the company goes bust.

We're all about some tempting fate here, aren't we?

(Anyway, current publishers would do something like make VH1 skins DLC available for $20 or something.)
