Book of The Geomancers
I'd like to see a Book of The Geomancers series which focus is solely to catalog the story of the VALIANT Universe from the eyes and ears and first experiences of different Geomancers throughout time. From the first to the one in the 41st Century.
See the rise of immortals, Harbingers, and other beings that exist in the VALIANT Universe, and the effect they had on human history.
It could include new material as well as reprinted pages from existing comics that have entirely new narration boxes that put everything into a linear story.

Re: Book of The Geomancers
That's a pretty cool idea. I love reading backstories on characters. It could even lead into an event in the 41st Century, similar to Rai #0

It should be an anthology about different Geomancers from across time. Some good, some bad. And it should not be afraid of being grim and gritty.
Like there could be stories set about the Geomancer of the 1940s showing the events from World War 2, not just the ones concerning Harada but elsewhere at the same time.

Re: Book of The Geomancers
One of the few post-Chaos Effect comics I've still never read is Geomancer. I thought it contradicted Rai 0, but maybe I was wrong.
The established Geomancers off the top of my head are Buck McHenry, Geoff McHenry, Rokland Tate, the woman who trained Rokland from Magnus 16... Who were the others? Cool Idea!

I made that one for the Wiki back in the day, heh. VH 1 only, though.

Re: Book of The Geomancers
I thought this was going to be a thread asking Alien to finally publish a collection of the Legends of the Geomancer. Now with a new publisher involved I think it would be the right time. That was a great series and deserves to find a wider audience.

Re: Book of The Geomancers
Maybe they can reprint select pages so as to keep their vow never to reprint it? Change the context?

Re: Book of The Geomancers
Thanks for sharing. That comicvine page is seriously messed up. It looks like they're calling the 90's universe "Valiant Entertainment (VH1)", and VEI is "Valiant Universe (VH2)"ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:19:29 amhttps://the-book-of-geomancer.fandom.co ... ?so=searchmagnusr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:04:26 amhttps://comicvine.gamespot.com/geomancers/4060-60275/

Re: Book of The Geomancers
Those books aren't worth anything anyway so I really don't see a compelling reason not to reprint them in a collection. At least not when weighed against sharing a good story with a lot more people who never got to read it.ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 12:10:36 pmMaybe they can reprint select pages so as to keep their vow never to reprint it?

Re: Book of The Geomancers
In a similar vein, I've always wanted to see (or make) a Rai series that focused on the origins of the Rai lineage and the early Rais. Something like Romance of the Three Kingdoms meets Metabarons, but fitting in with Rai 0 and everything that had been established in VH1. So much potential for that property with Samurais, Ronin, Ninja, Harbingers, ect. in an Eastern sci-fi setting.

Your Wiki is amazing, such a good resource. Did you make a Solar page and take it down, or just never make one since they didn't have his rights?ManofTheAtom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:19:29 am https://the-book-of-geomancer.fandom.co ... ?so=search

Re: Book of The Geomancers
I was not allowed to make pages for Solar, Magnus, or Turok. Someone made them, though, but I don't recall if it was for this site of the official one. It may have been the latter.Ryan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 5:36:53 pmYour Wiki is amazing, such a good resource.

I think some of the pages on my site vanished or something, not sure. The people that run the VALIANT Fandom page asked to copy them and I gave them access, and they may have deleted them afterward or something. Not sure what happeend.
Just earlier today I noticed that their page for VH 1 Flamingo has the same summaries I wrote, heh.

Far as I know I still have the files in case it needed to be rebuilt.
