Dynamite bringing in top talent
In the past few days Dynamite has announced new series by Garth Enis, Rick Remender, Andy Diggle, Abnett & Lanning, Mark Waid and VALIANT's own Fred Van Lente. That's quite the group.
I wonder if DE is getting a little nervous at all the new competition from new and growing Indy publishers like VEI, Boom! and IDW, and the rejuvenation of several projects at Dark Horse?
I am also interested because all those names are showing a willingness to work outside the Big 2, which means maybe we will see some of them on a VALIANT title eventually. DnA would be great on something cosmic, and you can't go wrong with Remender right now.
Would anyone else be interested in seeing these names at VALIANT?

All those names have already worked on the properties aside from Remender and Diggle.

Re: Dynamite bringing in top talent
Really? I had no idea DnA and Waid worked for VALIANT in the past...or maybe I did and my memory fails me...but, hey, Patch Zircher dabbled in OG VALIANT and he's back and kicking *SQUEE*.400yrs wrote:BugsySig wrote:In the past few days Dynamite has announced new series by Garth Enis, Rick Remender, Andy Diggle, Abnett & Lanning, Mark Waid and VALIANT's own Fred Van Lente.

Re: Dynamite bringing in top talent
So... 8 issue mini-series that take 16 months to publish and spin-off minis that never finish the first arc?
Yeah, sign me up for that.

Re: Dynamite bringing in top talent

After four years of being a solid Dynamite fan and customer, I am beginning to develop Battered Dynamite Fan Syndrome.Brother Darque wrote:i love dynamite, they are one of my favorite publishers.
It is similar to Battered Marvel Fan Syndrome, just with more sadness about never seeing Project Superpowers, Kirby Genesis or other smash-hit Dynamite properties ever again.

I don't plan on buying any of these, or anything from Dynamite period, for those reasons. I just found it interesting that so many writers would be doing work-for-hire at a non-Big 2 company, and that it bodes well for VEI to continue drawing in top notch talent in the future.

The only Dynamite book I remember buying is The Boys. That got too gross though.

When someone craps all over your favorite franchise the way that those 2 did how the hell would you feel?

Re: Dynamite bringing in top talent
That's how I have felt with the Defenders for, like, my entire life. But it's not like I gave up on Busiek, Larsen, Casey and Fraction because of it. Sometimes the concept just doesn't work, sometimes there are editorial mandates. Either way, it's not like someone just stops being a good writer for years and becomes a bad one overnight (OK, so it does happen, but I'm not willing to make that leap based on one series of work alone).Cyberstrike wrote:BugsySig wrote:Hey, everybody poops.Cyberstrike wrote:After suffering through the one of the worse comics of all that was Transformers: Heart of Darkness that DnA wrote I would be more inclined NOT to buy a new comic with either of names attached to it.
