I can’t think of any Valiant TPB from Nintendo to VH1 to Acclaim to present day Valiant that is HTF. Some HCs yet but TPB?

Interesting feeling, but what is the source of the feeling?

Also what TPB do you suspect?

HTF TPB always brings to mind Magnus/Predator...

Precisely. And with Marvel announcing that they'll be producing Aliens and Predator series, some Predator books have already taken off. First appearance, naturally, but also the Batman/Predator crossover has seen some really good results recently. There are only a few of the Magnus/Predator trades on eBay (one less now, since I arranged a purchase with ckb). I don't know if there are any Predator completists out there – the Magnus TPB always seemed to be more a Valiant thing – but demand for that could heat up.

I think Dark Horse has always been an "outsider" to the valuable comics speculation parties. Apart from Next Men #21 (or some other limited Hellboy book), I couldn't have named a big Dark Horse book. 1st Aliens, maybe. However, Dark Horse has been recently "invited" to the big dance of valuable comics, since Dark Horse published the first appearance of Ashoka Tano.

Combine that Dark Horse hot Disney/Star Wars book with Disney/Marvel getting Aliens and Predator, and suddenly Dark Horse looks like a forgotten gold mine that may have lots of nuggets left. I think it's about time. There are some really awesome Dark Horse books that never got any respect. :thumb:

Tank Girl has always had a following and that first mini series always sold for pretty coin. At least for me it has. We all know the movie bombed but it has been a solid seller many many years now.

Ahsoka Tano was Anakin Skywalker’s padawan during the Clone Wars. She appeared originally and primarily in the Clone Wars tv series, as well as some appearances in Star Wars: Rebels, and is rumored/assumed to be appearing for the first time in live action in season 2 of The Mandalorian. The voice actor who played her is one of the voices of past Jedi who can be heard at the end of Rise of Skywalker speaking to Rey.

Rosario Dawson has been cast to play Ahsoka in the Mandalorian. I'm excited to see her play the character and see her played in a live onscreen version.
