Re: Alien making the same mistake as DMG

For those who loved the VEI relaunch books, how could you not get a little bit excited about the slew of books for pre-order!! It was so cool this week to be able to go to my online comic shop and order multiple, recognizable Valiant books. The Valiants, Rai, X-O Invictus! I got the Foil versions an...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore

I had mixed feelings about the Valentine’s Day Special. I liked the Dr. Mirage story. Solid artwork and good story. I liked the Aric story throughout each storyline and think they did a good a job peaking my interest on some of the mysteries. I thought the stories and art got progressively weaker fr...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore

I was suspended from the Valiant FB group this last week. I have no idea why. I keep it clean and positive. I’m not bitter or anything. It’s just the icing on the cake though. Who wants to be part of a group that is relatively cranky, and doesn’t want you there even when you are nothing but positiv...

Re: Alien Books: "I told you"

Also, I appreciate @MartinAlien and Danielle being on these boards as they prepare for launch. More than we got in the past. Makes me feel like we have a potential avenue for constructive dialog on what the fan base is interested in that could help get the fans back in the long term. I think it's r...

Re: Alien Books: "I told you"

I’m very much looking forward to giving Alien a shot. I do hope the stories and art are of strong quality. That will be the decider as the bar has been set high from the 2012 VEI days. For me, I totally welcome the longer prestige formats. I’d love to move away from floppies. Like the idea of readin...

Ok, I was box diving today and decided to get the band together. I should have done this sooner as it has brought me much joy this evening!

Re: VH1 Valiant Validated Signature Series history and demand

Interesting theory about the rarity of EW 26. I always thought Timewalker 1 VVSS should be just as hard to find (there’s a high priced one on eBay now), so maybe that explains it!

Re: VH1 Valiant Validated Signature Series history and demand

Very nice. The EW #26 is a rare find. Still searching for one. The VEI secret weapons has 2 flavors. One is raw with VVSS certificate. However, there was a special VEI partnership with CGC when it was released. If you sent it in for grading within the first month or two, CGC would grade it as a Yell...
