How authoritative is Dox on this matter? Is that like saying something is an art form? An example that comes to mind is handloading , the practice of reusing certain components from ammunition to produce ammunition at home. Handloading is more art than science but truly is neither ...

And PLEASE don't say Silk undoing death in Resurgence. As stated MANY times before, what was done is perfectly consistent with concepts from Archer and Armstrong, such as the Boon.


Concepts such as magic.


In Shadowman #2 published in 2012 Dox asks Jack if he's read Clarke and cites his ...

DC and Marvel have gone through those kind of slumps for decades.

Quality always ebbs and flows at every publisher.


So, Valiant has undergone a sustained period of poorer quality comics, despite being internally consistent with previously established logic and guidelines?


Alien needs to ...

I actually enjoyed Psi-Lords.


Hey now! That is my line!

Seriously, every Bloodshot, X-O Manowar, and Shadowman series after 2019. Probably the worst of all was the one where Shanhara became Aric’s wisecracking sidekick - was that the Hallum run? After a certain point, you get to where you don ...

I've never said "I love DMG and Alien". Try again.

DMG and Alien aren't supposed to adhere to what VH 1 did. They're supposed to adhere to what VEI did since that is what they're continuing from, and they have.

Unlike VH-2, which completely ignored everything that made VALIANT what it ...

As started before, the quality of the storytelling, depth, and internal logic haven't changed since the VEI relaunch, while at Alien the art has suffered.

And no, what makes a comic book good or bad has nothing to do with what came before. What makes DMG's and Alien's VALIANT bad or good does ...

Some of us are not that smart.

Alien didn't bring a multiverse into VEI canon. That was first introduced in the Quantum and Woody Valiant-Sized one-shot.

They're merely using something that was already there.

Multiverses at VALIANT are a bad idea (no pun...) regardless of who comes up with them, be it Nicieza, Shooter, Dinesh ...

Show the quote then. When has anyone from Alien ever said "Beyond is not the main universe" "Beyond is a side-verse" or even "Beyond is not a replacement"? Sounds like things that have never happened.


Ryan, it's been reported by Bleeding Cool, ICV2, Newsarama, and likely others ...

That's been the official line from Alien since the start. Beyond is not a replacement.

I'm not saying Beyond looks that great for VALIANT. I'm saying that the alternative, a replacement like with VH 2, is not favorable.


You lost me there, how is Beyond not like VH2? Because of the Zombie book? That means its not meant to replace VEI? Are you saying Beyond is just a side ...

Sure man. We know, whatever Alien does you'll say it's great. We got it

You’ve cracked the code.

I’m still confused on how IDW fit in with Alien??

DMG and Alien have consistently shins themselves to be amateurs when it comes to releasing a quality comic book line. If IDW can take control and (significantly) improve the books then that might be something.

I always wonder who is giving ...

Wonder how much of a disappointed face emoji to give to the goal ‘expanding’. Yes, it would be nice to have good stories and more of them.

But Valiant could really use the relaunch to just focus on 3 IPs and keep it simple. Make stories, don’t worry about crossovers, and gain fans and ...

What's new is that Alien Books now publishes VALIANT through a license they acquired from DMG (which purchased VALIANT Entertainment), and will now be publishing them through IDW on account of Diamond's bankruptcy and distributing them through Penguin as per a post I just saw on Facebook ...

Lol, so no comment on this?:

CBR: First off, let's start all the way back at the beginning. As I understand it, DMG continues to own the Valiant brand, characters, and IP, and Alien is able to make Valiant comics through the use of licensing, is that correct?

Matias Timarchi: Yes, it’s a ...

I guess that's the bar now.

Haha, what's up, Chiclo! Damn, long time folks.

Oh, you know. Just keepin’ it gangsta.

I hate to pop into this thread and say there is nothing good going on and just be negative but it is hard to be positive as a Valiant fan these days.

Come to think of it, events in Grendel Tales were directly dependent on Batman/Grendel II (the one with Grendel Prime, the cyborg).

Forgot about the Batman/Grendel series, those were great. Haven't read them in ages, I don't remember how they worked the continuity between Grendel's world and ...
