Dead Drop
So, I don't read Valiant when it comes out. I usually read the books when there is a sale on Comixology. Finally got around to reading Dead Drop all these years later and I never expected Valiant to publish such a steaming pile of mediocrity. I say this as someone who liked Ales Kot's Image series.
At least the first issue showed promise?

Manga, comics, who cares? They're pretty much the same thing.

Re: Dead Drop
Beta Max was the only decent thing in that book. It was a script Kit already had that he show horned valiant characters into just so Warren could publish something for him. It was wired.armlessphelan wrote:So, I don't read Valiant when it comes out. I usually read the books when there is a sale on Comixology.

Re: Dead Drop
I did dig the usage of the fax machine. But the way the whole plot was resolved was the stupidest thing ever. Was this a heavily promoted event or something just kinda tossed out at the time?BugsySig wrote:Beta Max was the only decent thing in that book.

Re: Dead Drop
I’d say it got the same promotion as anything else at the time. It was always kind of strange though. No one could quite figure out what it was. And it was rare for VEI to put out a title that wasn’t a known IP at the time (I think Delinquents was the only other one).armlessphelan wrote:I did dig the usage of the fax machine.
