VH-1...unfortunately.

Sadly, they probably belong in VH1.5

I was all happy letting them live in VH1 until this showed up:

My argument here is that Aric is VH1 all the way.

Doesn't really matter a heck of a lot, but that's the way I store them.

Looks like an ad promotion. And advertising people have no regard for continuity. Believe me, I work with a bunch of 'em. They're great guys, but they approach their work like that drop of rain working down a windshield ... they will follow the path of least resistance so long as it gets them where they want.

What Myron said about the other guys. I personally would put them in VH1 and have a nice day.

VH-1 because that's where Aric and that incarnation of the X-O Manowar suit came from.

Actually I don't beyond alphabatizing all the titles, and that's everything Valiant, DC, Marvel, Mirage, NEC, Dark Horse...

I was just throwing my 2 cents into the pole.

i would put it in the post-vh2 era with shadowman vol. 3 and armorines vol. 2. It doesnt matter that aric is x-o, this is a comic conceived and born by post-valiant acclaim. We dont call unity 2000 vh1 even though it has vh1 characters in it, right?

Even in the ad, the Valiant logo is the "Big V," the post Acclaim VH1 logo.

Alrighty... VH1 it is.

How does everyone feel about the creation of a "Multi-Publishers" category
on the inventory page for the Valiant comics?

We've got regular issues separated from premiums separated from reprints...
I think we should give multi-publisher books their own category...

Deathmate, Magnus&Nexus, Predator vs. Magnus, Iron Man/X-O, and X-O 1/2.
(including all the various variations of books from these titles...)

Sound cool?

That sounds good to me. In fact, that's the way I store all that stuff in my VH1 boxes ... Deathmates, Pred-Mags and stuff like that are after my X-O Manowars.

I think I'm on the verge of switching to short boxes, too. They're just easier to move and arrange.

DawgPhan · Post by **DawgPhan** » Wed Feb 23, 2005 7:27 pm

Yeah I switched to short boxes right after I moved....so much easier...I also need to pick up some new bags and boards...

tssgery · Post by **tssgery** » Wed Feb 23, 2005 7:54 pm

I switched before my last move. I happened to find some shelves that are just deep enough to hold the short boxes, the long ones are a pain to store...

None of the main characters were VH-1 or VH-2, actually. Solar's reality was one were the characters existed as they would have if Shooter had kept writing them (a reality that would've been destroyed with the rest of the multiverse at the end). Alexander Darque's world was the new Valiant Universe we would've ended up with at the end of the miniseries (the same one that Shadowman Vol 3 ad Amorines Vol 2 happened in) which I guess would make it Vh-3. I didn't realize the part about Alex's world being VH-3 myself until I read the unpublished U2000 plots on the archived Petrilak site.

I was leaning towards VH2 or 3 with this, but I can see the points for VH1 as well. So I'm cool with either way.

Iron Man / X-O books have returned to VH1 inventory in the collector tool.

I probably lost the correct Iron Man / X-O numbers for some (most? all?) of you...
so double-check the VH1 inventory and see if it's correct.

I'll try to create the "Multi-Publishers" category next update...
I also want to make some upgrades that will allow the big list
to be sorted.

The two normal I can see, but isn't the game version supposed to have only VH2 content?

Of course, since I don't have it, I might be biased...

That's the solution I'd vote for.

Yep... but the cover is identical to Iron Man / X-O... so where they go... it follows.
Since that X-O suit on the cover and the big V logo are clearly VH1...
what's inside is 'overruled' by the misdirection of the cover.
(Even if the inside actually IS the VH2 X-O retailer review.)

But after all... no one ever takes a book out of the bag and board do they?

So what's the story on that game version? How was that distributed?
