Which book should have had a chromium cover?

My vote goes to Rai #0

Solar 0 should have. But it would have to have been created first!

Magnus 0 should have one when Dino reprints it

It could be Dino's response to DC and Marvel's Classic reprints. It would be like Amazing Spider-Man 300 cromium only cooler because it's Magnus and a kick *SQUEE* cover.

Here's a general idea of Rai #0

Magnus #5/ Rai #1 flipbook.

Why continue to flood the market with needless gimicks? The covers look nice in chromium, but I for one got really sick of chromium. Actually, I would say that Valiant died from Chromium poisoning!

It made some sense on X-O #0, because it had a metal/robotic theme. But Geomancer?! What?!?!?!

I liked Rai 0 without any enahncements. To me, at the time it was quietly released. I remember picking it up off the shelves at the store, and later on when it got hot, I remember thinking "cool".

To me that book is a very, very key Valiant that was totally symbolic of Valiant because it was released under the radar, but really was a cornerstone book of the Valiant U. Really, any of the books that Valiant put chromium on were gimmicks and really weren't "all that". They looked good, but I like that Rai 0 was "just an issue" completely indicitive of what Valiant was doing right at the time.

I agree, but I would've like to have seen some early Solar's in chromium, just for S & Giggles. Heck, I would love to see Jessica Alba in chromium.

This one would have worked best

That would be a good one because of that covers propensity to get smudge marks on it. Chromium would be a good choice for covers that are likely to smudge or be smudged.

Turok #1.

What....? You mean it was?

Baloney.

This time, they can get it right.

Oh, and Uncanny X-Men #101.

I have always maintained that Bloodshot's mouth looks stupid on the cover to BS1. Chromium my aunt's anus!

BS1 deserved a better cover. So did Turok #1.

All of 'em. Then variants of them. Then, special glow in the dark ones... Then a titanium promo Rai #00... with coupon for a mail in oragami Harbinger #25. Think of the sales!

Then we pick up now... what issue would the titles be on if they were still going... NEW TOPIC!

What issues would they be on if they were satill going and Acclaim hadn't bought the company?

Where's the Professor from Gilligan's Island when you need him?

bloodshot 51 would have never had one, because you don't want to be shiny when you say, "Going out of business sale."

Turok 1 definately!!! And then I could melt them down and make something valuable
