ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I just picked up issue #1 as well... I had some crazy need list like: Scout - 1, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 Luckily I went to a local guy's house who is selling me as much great looking Marvel stuff as I can handle (will be posting about those later, to include my Dell Key Docto...

All it took was for me to read through two of these issues for me to be hooked and then the other books just fell in line. Last Saturday I FINALLY picked up the final 14 books I needed to finish my Scout run. Hopefully, I will get a few moments to sit down and read through these sometime in the nea...

I just finished the entire run. I'm pretty impressed. If you can find them for a good price they would be well worth the purchase.

Thanks. The prices don't look too bad. I may pick them up.

My plan was to work on finishing up my Ultraverse and Triumphant collection, but I sometimes get distracted. My distraction this time was Airboy by Eclipse. I found the full run for just under 50 cent a book. I've never read an Eclipse book before. So far I've been pleasantly surprised. Has anyone r...

I'd have to say Morrison's Animal Man run.
Ostrander's Suicide Squad
Giffen and crew's Justice League
Peter David's Hulk and Supergirl.

I've always liked Broderick's art. I bought an early run of Firestorm a few years back because of his art.

Thanks

I've always liked this one. Of course almost any Brian Bolland cover is usually pretty good.

Is there a list of comics that VALIANT/Acclaim advertised but never published?

In my current re-readings I noticed ads for "City Knights". I've never seen anything about it other than the ads. Anyone have any info?

This is what I'm looking for now. Ultraverse Firearm 5-18 Codename: Firearm 0-5 Elven 0-4 Eliminator 0-3 Godwheel 0-3 Hardcase 2, 8-26 Nightman (vol. 1) 10-23 Ripfire 0 Rune (vol 1) 0-9 Sludge 5-12 Sludge: Red X-Mas Solitaire 3-12 Solution 5-17 Strangers 15-24 Warstrike 1-7 Wrath 2-9 Year Zero 1-4 T...

One thing that I've wondered about is if Shooter has to police himself a bit with these books. I know it's been a bunch of years since the original Valiant stuff but considering the thought and effort that he put into re-birthing these characters at Valiant I wonder if he's mentally had any problems...

I've been browsing the comics on ebay fairly regularly for the past couple of weeks. Some of the prices have amazed me. One listing had the full set of a six issue mini, I forget the title, listed at NM for a buy it now price of $75 (I think it was) plus $14 shipping. Several other listings had the ...

Thanks Dan

I know that Jim Shooter sometimes did layouts or pencils. Is there any place to view his raw work before finish pencils or inks?

I wonder if they get a lot of business. Obviously, they are currently contracted to do the Dark Horse stuff, but I wonder if they get any other big business outside of that. I don't know about you, but I'm 32 years old, and while growing up I *never* encountered comic books in any way outside if wh...

[ You might know this one. I can't remember if it is an issue of Batman or Detective. I think it's Batman. The issue is essentially made up of different people's encounters with Batman. I think it did a good job of giving depth to character. Is that Batman 250 where the kids sit around the campfire...

I recall some people not liking the Starlin run, but it was actuallymy jumping on point for Batman. I had some from the 60's and 70's, but never gave two sh**s about them. It was the Legends story arc logo that made me try it of all silly things. The issue where the dude thinks he is batman is awes...

I'm trying to fill holes in my Valiant and Ultraverse collection. There's a lot of gaps to fill, but I've decided to try to work on one title at a time. Here is my Magnus "need" list. I figure there's a couple of these that I may not be able to afford at this time, but it doesn't hurt to c...

indeed the crossovers were a bit pointless as both Marvel and Dc at the time were incapable of making the titles that carried the banner actually part of the series, but if you wanted to buy all the ones that did carry the IG banner you would have been a bit gutted, though not nearly as gutted if y...

The Incredible Hulk #388 (or the issue where the smart Hulk debuted) the first time a writer really blew my mind, something PAD continues to do. I thought the Professor Hulk was the best Hulk incarnation. Really cool :thumb: Anyone know for sure which issue the smart Hulk debuted? Thanks. 377 or 379?

The Marvel cosmic stuff was pretty cool, but for me Thanos Quest was the peak and then when they went all crossover mad it was awful. Infinity Gauntlet was pretty cool, but they knew it was selling and milked it too much. What cam after was nonsense IMO. Anyone like the follow ups? Infinity War was...

Draco wrote:# 424?

You're good. I don't have the issue in front of me, but I did pull up the cover. I'm pretty sure that's it. I just notice that Starlin wrote it.

I agree with Cyberstrike on The Thanos Quest and with comicsyte95 on Infinity Gauntlet. Of course I've been a big Starlin fan since his Captain Marvel run. When Marvel was on his deathbed (The Death of Captain Marvel) and the skrull presented him with a medal it cemented my Starlin fanhood. Some of ...

I have a lot of Peter David's Hulk run. He's always prone to stick in a laugh or two in his work. There's one issue of X-factor that he wrote that has an incident where they had thought Jamie Madrox had died that still makes me laugh. I recently picked up Quantum & Woody. I am really enjoying it...
