OH OH I KNOW WHATS NEXT!! A Turok 1 without the chromium card on the cover!!

Don't go getting into to much of an uproar here. All my copies except one look like the "ivory" ones. However, instead of thinking that this was just a variant, I assumed that it was just a combination of bad storage and smoking. It looks like nicotine stains to me, kinda like my walls. And, if you ...

i dunno...i think I got conned a little. I order a copy of ebay w/ coupon. The thing said it had some pock marks on the cover. When it arrived, it came as he said, but it also had an additional 1/3 tear on the spine . I paid 9 for it, plus the 3 shipping. I just want a decent one

I wasn't there, but if its signed archer 0s and 1s your looking for I got one of each signed by mr. shooter.

Just to throw my 2 cents in there.....my posts on newsarama are gone.

hehe Shouldn't one of the choices be VIP?






Sorry, I had to do it.

Allright, so in addition to not buying anything that VIP might produce, I've figured out that Michael Lovitz, the attorney representing VIP, is also a comic artist, among other things.
So don't buy ANYTHING that supports this guy.

Yes, I can be mean.

And in further digging, which may already be known to some of you, I've come across this:

"A year and a half ago, Newsarama reported that Lovitz had claimed the trademarks for several properties originally owned by Valiant Comics: Rai and the Future Force, Deathmate, Harbinger, and others. The ...

So, its a new age for us comic fans, right? The internet has become such a great tool we can use. So what can we, as valiant fans, do to keep this other company from destroying the characters we have all come to love and know? Honestly, I don't have the answer myself, but I'm starting this topic so ...

Ok, so there is a fight going on here. I knew that there were two companies, but I wasnt sure if some had some rights and the other etc. So is this something that is in court then? Someone really should just type up a news story to catch those of us that aren't "in the know" up to date completely ...

*sigh* I'm officially confused now. I thought I understood what was going on, but I no longer feel that I do. I just wish the real valiant would just say something about whats going on. This is taking forever

Yeah, where is the article? If this is what we have to look forward to, I'd say valiants already DOA.

Thanks.

Would anyone happen to have a list of what had coupons and what didn't? I've been eyeing some stuff on ebay, but I don't know what to bid on and what not to. For example, I found a copy of x-o manowar 1 for 10 bucks, but it has no coupon. Thing is, I don't remember it EVER having one. It's been so ...

It's a decent shop, but I've cleaned them out of valiant stuff hehe.

lol. Sorry, I know it was cryptic and all, but it's really all I got to go on.

....I've heard rumors that someone that lives down south comes up here to Dayton Ohio quite often. Apparently this guy lurks on the boards here, and I would really like to find out who you are, cause I may need your help building my collection. If anyone can point me to who this is, I'd appreciate ...

How often is the price guide on the site updated? I'm just curious, cause I know that some of these books are picking up a lot of steam. That way I know what I'm doing when I go looking for more books to add to the collection.

I found a shop that has more quarter bins than normal back issues. The thing that surprised me is they were all in pretty good shape. What surprised me even more is finding a deathmate epilogue gold in the boxes! I think it was worth a quarter. Lol, and just for humors sake, I picked up the wildstar ...

I'm actually a little confused now. I never noticed a color difference in VR and non-vr books. So what the heck are you guys talking about?

Ok, so I did the whole "buy it now" thing on Ebay for a lot of harbingers:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150135948600
As you can tell by that, it reads to say that there was a copy of harbinger 1 in the auction. Being new to ebay, and being away from valiant, I just figured the ...

I'm one of the ones that voted to bring it back. Why? I had fun with it. It brought something new to comics that was just blue and red, or any of the other countless gimmics that you couldnt do anything with really.
The plus side was you didnt HAVE to wear the glasses to enjoy the books, as someone ...

Hopefully this topic helps out some of the newcomers to the valiant world who are too young to know what to look for.

Glad I could start a topic that helps some other people out too!

Have you tried asking her for your testicles back?

(That was a joke. A mean one, but a joke)

Lol. It wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't in college fulltime and could work more...
It's that whole budgeting thing right now mainly that holding me back.

Thank you so very much greg. Now hopefully I can start getting my collection built back up before the frenzy possibly starts. It's crazy seeing that list! (not to mention how many of those I had before I dropped out of the biz in 96).


I'm so glad valiant is coming back.
