Is this also from the source regarding the counterfeit comics? Just asking.

That was probably the last thing that photographer saw, before the drop bear attacked.

This obviously isn't true, but it's not like this would be good news if it was. I know I'm not the only person to have read his god awful Dark Horse Gold Key line.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
To be fair, he was probably hampered at Dark Horse and couldn't draw past the lines of what they licensed from whoever owned those characters at the time. Clearly, at least with Magnus, he was replicating the tone of old Gold Key, something he didn't do at VALIANT.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 9:19:08 pm This obviously isn't true, but it's not like this would be good news if it was.

The origin of Doctor Solar backups did look fantastic, and had lots of potential.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
Lol I love it, board activity is up and now we have spicy "shooter is coming back with alien" rumors, it's like old times
Even as a fan, I wouldn't defend the DH GK stuff as being great comics. But to say it wouldn't be good news for the guy who orchestrated VALIANT's creation and success (and created a lot of the plotlines that early VEI used) and edited Marvel's peak years of the 80s to come back as editor is pretty harsh. As if Heather Antos or the Lion Forge guy were more qualified.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 9:19:08 pm This obviously isn't true, but it's not like this would be good news if it was.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
That's quite a wild jump from Shooter to Antos/Lion Forge guy, but okay.Ryan wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 9:53:38 pm Lol I love it, board activity is up and now we have spicy "shooter is coming back with alien" rumors, it's like old times

I just don't see any evidence to suggest that Shooter could do anything good with the Valiant U. I mean we literally saw him try a smaller version of a reboot, and it fell on it's face. Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely try it out, but I see no reason to be excited for a hypothetical Shooter-led Valiant. I appreciate Shooter for creating Valiant (and I said that to his face a month ago), but the fact of the matter is that he is not the same creator that he was in the 80's/90's.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
Fair enough. I would also be more excited if he returned in an editor role and not writing all the titles. I think the DH line would have been better if Shooter had just been the editor overseeing the titles instead of writing them all.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:05:44 pm That's quite a wild jump from Shooter to Antos/Lion Forge guy, but okay.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
That's probably true. I also felt like the artwork (for the most part) was pretty lackluster. Did you ever read the Samson series? How was it? I just read the Solar/Magnus/Turok stuff a while back, and was not impressed, so couldn't find the motivation to try Samson.

The Solar origin back ups had great art, though.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:14:51 pmThat's probably true. I also felt like the artwork (for the most part) was pretty lackluster.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
Yeah that's what I mean, one of the big problems was the editor picked some weird artists that didn't mesh with Shooter's writing style and also got way behind schedule. I'm the same, I think I only read the first issue or so of Samson and lost interest lol. I did like Turok alright and wanted to see where it would go after the first 4 issues, and like MOTA said the best part was probably the Solar origin backup story in the last 4 issues.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:14:51 pmThat's probably true.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
Yes, and the story felt more like vintage Shooter IIRC, haven't re-read those since they came out.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:17:24 pmThe Solar origin back ups had great art, though.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:14:51 pmThat's probably true.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
Definitely agree with both of you. I really enjoyed the Solar back-ups as well. Solar definitely had the best artwork overall, but Turok was the best story imo, although that's not saying much tbh.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
I don't recall checking out Turok. Mighty Thor or whatever it was called and the very Silver Age-in-tone Magnus were huge turn offs.TheFerg714 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:24:18 pm Definitely agree with both of you.

Solar got better as it went, but didn't really start too strongly.

Re: pierce is out.. shooters coming back with alien
Turok was cool, I've always wanted to see an updated version of the original Turok, not a TINO (Turok in Name Only ). They had a young artist from South America (I think) who was good but not very experienced so he got really far behind and I think there was like 6 months or more between issue 1 and 2. Then they brought in James Harren for issues 3 and 4, he's a very good artist but it looked like he had to do the issues in a couple weeks so they felt a bit rushed. A good Lost Land story was brewing though, would have really loved to see where it went in future issues.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:28:25 pmI don't recall checking out Turok.
