It could be anything (obviously) but if Dark Horse was to work with VEI it could be very good for both companies. DH could finally have its hands in a successful hero universe and VEI could learn the ins and outs of the industry from a stable established company. :hope:

I'd be inclined to hope for something with VEI too - if it weren't for the folowing comment about watching the skies.

I read "watch the skies" as a clue - but one that doesn't seem to fit VEI.

But I'd be glad to be wrong.

I think Dark Horse getting new Solar and Magnus stories is a key part of this equation.

If VEI does the same as Western Publishing and licenses their properties out to Dark Horse we could be looking at the rebirth of the true Valiant portfolio.

Dark Horse has all the necessary items to produce comics. VEI would have to build to the level Dark Horse is at.

It makes sense to me.
Now I understand that most likely someone else thought of this before me, but since I'm the first one to post my greatness in this thread that means all subsequent glory belongs to me.

So, Freddy, what do you, Scooby, and the rest of the gang make that clue out to read?

It's the closing line form the original version of The Thing From Another World movie from the 50s.

I'm not so sure that VEI would license their characters to Dark Horse. They are obviously working to re-establish the Valiant brand. I see an Image/Malibu type relationship as more of a possibility.

Hmm...working together with another company? Archie Comics? Barb Wire meets Jughead perhaps? A Nexus movie done right would be very cool to see.

My first reaction to the "watch the skies" comment would be some sort of crossover with Superman. That's just the first thing that comes to my mind. Though, I do think it would be awesome if VEI worked with Dark Horse to at least establish what happened to Solar, Magnus and Turok. I just hate to think that a new Valiant will come out and there will be no mention of these three again. It would just be a huge hole to their storylines.

Archie and Sin City?

The Goon and Sonic the Hedgehog?

Conan and Sabrina the Teenage Witch?

Now that would be interesting, too. They did come out with a few interesting Thing from Another World projects a few years back.

How about the possibility of them referring to a project with DC and Superman?

Dark Horse had the rights to comics based on The Thing From Another World-80's Carpenter version-back in the 90's. Did some very effective and atmospheric work, too. This could be anything. Hmm.
