Neither do I, and the idea of a reboot is even worse. It's too DC/Marvel.cjv wrote:Personally, I don't like the idea of starting after Unity.

We live in the 21st Century, about 50 years removed from the days when mothers would throw out their kids comic books and old stories had to be retold for them to be read.
Today we have reprints, back issue bins, and online scans. If a publisher wants new people to read an old story all they have to do is reprint it.
That's been my stand for the last 10 years on anything from Marvel and DC, and it shouldn't be any different for VALIANT.
We don't need Busiek, Waid, Morrison, Bendis, Johns, or any other new name writer to redo Steel Nation, Alpha & Omega, or tell a completely new and different origin for the characters when the original VALIANTs work.
Just look at what iBooks did with Magnus.
"Yay, we got Steranko to do a new design!" didn't mean much when the story was crap.
Comics are like a Rorschach test, everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
