If the shutdown of comic stores has taught me anything, it's to stop giving Valiant chances.

With the already small output, and the pencils down mandate. No production on the current books or the books yet to be announced. I just don’t see how they could bounce back so easily when distribution opens back up. You hate to see it, but karmas a b*tch... facepalm

As we all suspected about the new senior editors’ promotions, Some additional unannounced staff changes were afoot.

Good luck to Robert. I first met him when he was new to Valiant at a Vegas con. My last conversation with him was at San Diego this past year. I appreciated his candor and his understanding of my perspective as a fan, and his enthusiasm for what was coming. To be fair I was not easy on him as this was just after the Bleeding Cool incident and I was asking hard questions. I appreciate those efforts and wish him well on his new adventures.

So any thoughts on who is guiding the ship editorially?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

No doubt it is Heather and Lysa. They have probably been doing it for months prior to the announcement. The reason I guess that is because in the announcement they talk about the books that they have coming (including Bloodshot, and XO. Yes Robert did get those rolling though) and when contacted Robert said he was handling the editing on some trades. So I would imagine this was sometime in the coming and not as sudden as we think it was.

You would think they would pay someone that they liked enough to keep him (or her) around.

So, Antos blocked me on Twitter! :o While on FB, I hit a Valiant link, that sent me to Twitter, and apparently it was something she tweeted, and there it was, you’ve been blocked! :lol: So I know for a fact, she’s on here lurking because I’ve never been disrespectful to her, or was someone who constantly had negative things to say in her comments. Don’t be so thin-skinned boo, if your sh!t stinks (X-O #1) it stinks. :?

Honestly, I've learned to ignore creatives on Twitter. So many of them run block chains that I've been caught up in, that it's hard to say why I've been blocked. But if she is lurking on this forum, I hope she understands that most of it is constructive criticism. She needs to realize that Valiant readers don't necessarily want our characters transformed into lukewarm Marvel rehashes.
Manga, comics, who cares? They're pretty much the same thing.

I’m cool with it, (being blocked) her post were more about herself (which is fine) then the company. I follow a lot of creators and those in editorial to get a sense of what’s to come, sneak peeks, etc... When she did post about these things, it always felt out of left field and foreign to what has come before. Yes, I expect change, but the characters should be recognizable beyond appearance... :?

She has not blocked me. Rob Liefeld, Charisma Carpenter and Bill Weld, sure, but not Heather Antos. :(

Just checked. She blocked me too. I've only posted on Twitter like 5 times.
