Re: Just not feeling it anymore

VALIANT fiction should be like a police procedural like Blue Bloods or medical drama like Gray's Anatomy but in which the characters are superheroes who wear superhero costumes instead of scrubs and uniforms and fight supervillains instead of arrest drug dealers or perform complex operations. That'...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore

Despite the books being of mostly high quality and aimed at a mature adult audience, there were still problems (IMO) with how VEI did things. However since DMG it seems like the last people they're making the comics for are the core fans. It looks like with the Valentine's special as one of the fir...

Re: New Valiant/Alien Releases: X-O Book One&#4 & Ninjak Superkillers Book One

Superkillers has been pretty good. A nice return to form.

X-O is pretty bleh for me. Hopefully they can return to status quo soon there.

Time to pick up Harada's story and leave the uninteresting druggy Stancheck stuff as a footnote.

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

Well, you know my stance on VALIANT and how I still very strongly believe that it should be comics about heroes that exist in the world outside our window. That would mean that, for instance, if an orange man-child who is desperate to stay in power caused his followers to riot in Washington, you'd ...

We've established Antos starts the fires, We've done no such thing. The fire started when Renie aligned herself with whomever it is that Antos beliefs holds extreme toxic views.

What did the fictional representation of Antos do? How did the insults start? Who threw the proverbial first rock and over what? If they aren't all Republican, white, or male then there has to be another reason. Supporting Trump would be more than enough to blacklist them. It displayed a perception...

Well, at least you took the mask off that you support the blacklisting (even the ones that aren't Republicans but were called such). Many in media won't even admit that was happening.

Re: In Hindsight, does anyone wish VEI would've kept the OG VALIANT continuity?

For Visitor, that's pretty much it. It also changed hands after Antos left, so a pretty doomed comic schizophrenic writing and plot aside. As for: "did Antos ever let her politics leak into the books? I mean, aside from indirectly (hiring creatives who thought like her)." With Antos, there...

Re: In Hindsight, does anyone wish VEI would've kept the OG VALIANT continuity?

I hate what VEI became in the Antos era, but there were some strong characters that came around (Harada of VEI I think is superior to Harada of VH1). It was good to see the great characters (Sunlight on Snow or Angela Vessel for example) vs the ones that were terrible (Kris, Psi-Lords). Harbinger, ...
