ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

There weren’t any new comics solicited for sale from Valient on DCBS last month.

Could there be a month soon where we get more new Defiant comics than Valiant?

And yet, we can still be creeped out and disappointed, frequently at the same time.

Hook a brudda up.

Will gladly cover shipping and handling.

Yes, on back cover.

Are you comfortable sharing their numbers?

You can move on from this focus on disproving the theory at any time. You are separate person; your posts don’t have to always be in reaction to a single theme. You can even juggle two posts in different threads addressing two disparate topics at the same time. Why not call out bad editing now ...

I don’t think anyone was saying that DMG and Alien were the same business entities. Can you cite sources that posters were claiming that DMG and Alien are organs of the same company?

What was said was that, in hiring many of the same decision makers from DMG, Alien was carrying forth many of the ...

It sounds like Alien and DMG work together on the books (Alien has to run everything past DMG) so I imagine IDW is helping from a publisher standpoint.



Because they are the same company


Alien and DMG/Valiant are the same company? Valiant didn’t buy Alien nor vice versa.


They're ...

I think that were they actually the same company, that *might* actually be a better situation for ...

Kind of like how Daniel-san was not actually the Karate Kid.

For them to be transported to 2008 their subconciousess or conciousess would need to guide them to that particular destination.

It was said that Turok ended in 1987 because of his exposure to futuristic tech. It could be that Elya was transported to the 31st Century due to her exposure to ...

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 ...

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.
