VEI era hardcovers that never were - what would you want to see?
Sorry for the long title.
Prompted by a small discussion on the Facebook group, what VEI issue do you think could be viably be collected into Deluxe editions (so think 8 or more issues)?
Some that occur to me:
1. Eternal Warrior 1-8 plus Days of Steel and Awakening
2. Harbinger Omegas - to include Omegas, Life and Death of Toyo Harada
3. Faith - Faith and the Future Force, Faith: Dreamside, Faith's Winter Wonderland Special, Faith: Warped Tour/Keep A Breast Special Edition
What others are conceivable as thematic collections that never were?

I'd like to see the whole thing collected. Not just VEI, but VALIANT and VH 2 too.

Re: VEI era hardcovers that never were - what would you want to see?
For a start they could catch up with the Deluxe HCs by making:
1) Bloodshot Rising Spirits 1-8
2) Eternal Warrior (2013-2014) 1-8
3) Faith and the Future Force (2017) 1-4, Faith Ongoing #9-12, Faith Dreamside 1-4 and Faith's Wonderland Special #1
4) Generation Zero 1-9
5) Harbinger Renegade 1-8
6) Life and Death of Toyo Harada 1-6
7) Quantum & Woody (2017 series) 1-12 and Quantum & Woody (2020 series) 1-4
8) PSILords 1 - 8
9) Punk Mambo (2019) 1-5 and Rapture 1-4
10) Savage 1-4 and Savage (2021) 1-4
11) Unity (2013 series) 15-24
12) X-O Manowar (2020 series) 1-9
Under Dino the deluxe HCs were great. They include 533 different VEI comics. Now there are over 200 comics not collected.

Re: VEI era hardcovers that never were - what would you want to see?
I predict we will never see another deluxe edition again. If we're lucky we'll get some of these in that cheap looking box format Alien does with the tacky gold foil logo.leonmallett wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:29:22 amThat is a great list - hopefully Danielle and Martin are looking.magnus20009 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 8:43:42 am For a start they could catch up with the Deluxe HCs by making:

Can you show an example of this box format? I have a couple of TKO books that come as a mini-series in a box case, is that what you mean?syzhang28 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:40:42 pmI predict we will never see another deluxe edition again.

Re: VEI era hardcovers that never were - what would you want to see?
I'd like to see all of VALIANT, VH 2, and VEI collected in a robust catalog of hardcovers and softcovers, like DC and Marvel has.
If VEI/Alien has the reprint rights to Solar, Magnus, and Turok (which we can conclude from the Valiant Classic Collection: Archer and Armstrong Revival Paperback coming out next year they likely do), then it shouldn't be a problem to collect those series and crossovers.

VALIANT may have limited rights to reprint GK3 appearance in non-GK3 titles rather than full rights to reprint any of their VH1 appearances.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 11:15:59 am I'd like to see all of VALIANT, VH 2, and VEI collected in a robust catalog of hardcovers and softcovers, like DC and Marvel has.

Re: VEI era hardcovers that never were - what would you want to see?
More likely than not, yeah. It makes it impossible to reprint something like Unity.leonmallett wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:44:08 pmVALIANT may have limited rights to reprint GK3 appearance in non-GK3 titles rather than full rights to reprint any of their VH1 appearances.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 11:15:59 am I'd like to see all of VALIANT, VH 2, and VEI collected in a robust catalog of hardcovers and softcovers, like DC and Marvel has.

I heard something once that VEI could reprint the appearances of the Gold Key characters in other, Valiant-owned titles but not advertise it.leonmallett wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:44:08 pmVALIANT may have limited rights to reprint GK3 appearance in non-GK3 titles rather than full rights to reprint any of their VH1 appearances.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 11:15:59 am I'd like to see all of VALIANT, VH 2, and VEI collected in a robust catalog of hardcovers and softcovers, like DC and Marvel has.

In terms of something like Unity, which has been a while since I've read it, I recall one of the two Solar tie-ins focusing on the story from Erica's perspective, showing how she and Albert lived for 2,000 years.Chiclo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 3:49:10 pmI heard something once that VEI could reprint the appearances of the Gold Key characters in other, Valiant-owned titles but not advertise it.leonmallett wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:44:08 pmVALIANT may have limited rights to reprint GK3 appearance in non-GK3 titles rather than full rights to reprint any of their VH1 appearances.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 11:15:59 am I'd like to see all of VALIANT, VH 2, and VEI collected in a robust catalog of hardcovers and softcovers, like DC and Marvel has.

If one removed the few pages with Solar in it, that one might be reprintable.
