I don't know anything certain, but I would assume that not revealing their identity
would probably be a bargaining chip that would have been played.

Congratulations, VEI!

This is great news, I am very excited for all of you at VEI, and for the future of Valiant!

I'm glad to see that Dino and Co. bit the bullet and settled this puppy. Really, when you get right down to it, it was the only practical alternative.

It'll be interesting to see what new products they'll unveil now that they've got clear title. Today's marketplace isn't yesterday's, and if it was me, I'd concentrate all of the Valiant goodwill on a single title, rather than unleash even just a few. No new line from any small publisher in the last few years has been a success, recognizable properties or no. I wonder who'll be first up at bat?

Yep. Congrats to VEI for doing what had to be done. I've liked pretty everything I've seen so far from the Company including the Harby Hardcover, the new logo and the choice of the designer, and finally getting this thing taken care of.

Congrats. Now make with the monthlies, fanboy.

Yea, it has to be something that jump starts the entire universe, what a heavy burden! Harbinger? Or some kind of Valiant Universe Mini-Series to have all the characters appear like in UNITY..no matter we're all aboard

But were any of them Valiant.

I would still like to see a "Rebirth" mini series. You could re-introduce the characters you want (the main 8-10 or so) and lay the ground work for the begining of the universe.

Then go from there.

HAHA, great minds think alike!

I would like to add that I, for one, am glad that they own the rights to all the Acclaim characters.

Glad I read the thread.

NB ~ What 2007 san diasgo comic ashcan was published by VIP?
A link anyone?

Maybe I missed this one the boards

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=010

Watch the price fall to 50p real soon.

hey i might pick one up so i can remember how the one thing i love most about comics took so long to resurface due to some complete *SQUEE* attempting to steal something that was never could and never should belong to them.

Happy New Year to everyone at Valiant and all you guys here on the forum who light up my every day.

cheers and here's to the future.

Comments like that worry me, I get Defiant flashbacks.

I hope that guy's supposition that VEI paid off VIP is unfounded.
