I'll throw another one in the mix as Magnusr & Depluto may have missed one:

Oh what the heck, here's one for me:

Many, many congrats, Dino et all

Watch the price fall to 50p real soon.

I would like to get one just for historical value.

As for the other, well,

Chris

Stellar news!!!

It makes me very happy to see VEI secure all those TMs. I am psyched to see where they take Valiant!

Congrats to Dinesh, Jason, Walter, & everyone associated with VEI! We fans definitely have the best Valiant news in many, many years.

Ok, this news is the best I've heard in weeks.

What titles should I add to my pull list?

My LCS guy was a big Valiant guy back in the day. I am looking forward to telling him all about this, which I will at great length.

I swear to do what I can to make Amarillo, Texas a seat of Valiant. Not sure how much preaching I can do from my gun counter, but I wear my Valiant pin every day.

Incredible news!! I was really thinking it'd be months, or easily YEARS before we'd see a resolution to this: but I'll take my miracles where I can get them.

So - when will we get to hear the full story on what happened? Who was VIP? What was the settlement? Whats the plan for future books for us fans?

I'm looking forward to February & April so I can order my 4 copies of the X-O HC (and 1 more Harby HC just for celebrations sake).

Maybe you guys could give us an old-school-Valiant 'Jim Shooter Style' editorial page explaining the details of what it took to get where you are at the end of the first new book: y'know, like they had in the back of the old pre-unities? I'd like to see that...

Great job to all those involved at VEI though. Good job at playing a game of chess with the competition wannabes!!!

My amateur guess is that you guys counter bargained with the bloodshot rights they accidentally used threatening to sure there *SQUEE* to the stone age if they didn't give up the TM's - but it's just a deductive guess...

Glad that's over. Can't wait till I can start buying monthly Valiant books again!

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.

I absolutely agree, Greg.

I am bound by no agreement, legal or otherwise.

Take that Dynamic F-wads.
