Valiant Accountability Project - Who ISN’T Reading Rai?

Post by Dallow Spicer1 »

Due to the current climate I’m archiving any DMG Valiant sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future. If you don’t wish to be on a so called black list then prove your a legit fan by buying Rai EVERY MONTH!

The <IRONY> here is the series is probably going to end with issue #10 next month. There's no RAI solicitated for JAN and FEB.

There's no XO solicited for FEB either, meaning the series will be put on hold for the 3rd time.

Maybe they're going full IMAGE COMICS now, giving all "ongoing" series a short break between arcs?

4 months off between 4-issue story arc would be GENIUS!</IRONY>

Having said this, maybe Abnett's Rai will just rest for a few months too???

Wait, is the poll "who is" or "who isn't?"

If I had made this thread, given recent conversation, there's a poster here who would be accusing me of agenda instead of laughing about it. Perception is reality for morons.

Also, there needs to be a second list for those of us who have been hoarding the book, but are months behind in reading it.... :kidaround:

I am NOT reading them and what are you...like 12?

This is the most juvenile drivvle I've seen on this board. And that's saying a lot.
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

That’s a question I find myself asking all of the time. Who is he? Where does he come from? Is he good or is he bad? Does he like sushi? Is he really Japanese? Is he is really an anti-granny in disguise?
Pull List: I only buy TPB's, HC's and Hellboy comics

He doesn't eat real food. He drinks protein shakes and ground up.... something.... in meal replacement routines.

I thought the thread was pretty funny until IMJ showed up and called me a moron. Dallow is more tolerable because he has wit.

And I answered the survey long ago, just didn't bother to post. I was mocked here for still having all Valiant titles on my pull list, but I figured that at least indicated that yes, I am buying the new Rai series. I also wrote a song with Dan Abnett about Rai that's been heard half a million times, so I think I'm pretty good on supporting the series.

I'm still getting all the Valiant books. Does that make me a Pariah or something. i agree that the quality isn't what it used to be, but i still enjoy reading them.
And dont make this out to be more than what it is. Im just buying a reading comics. Im not apologsising for the leadership or cheerleading for them.
Im not a comicsgater or what ever it is.
To be honest, i think things have deteriorated since Heather Antos came on board.

I just buy Valiant Comics.

I still have the “gotta get ‘em all” mindset about Valiant. Not for the covers, but I do still pre-order all (both?) of the Valiant books each month. I was ordering the Valiant bundle on DCBS but it looks like they don’t offer a monthly bundle anymore so I pre-order the two books individually.

Same here. Breaking a complete set intentionally is almost unfathomable. I have generally enjoyed almost everything to some degree, but I'll admit I had zero interest in Valiant High and only bought it to keep my Valiant collection complete.

Ironically I thought Valiant High was readable when you take it for what it was (ie out of continuity)
