ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I got kids soccer, karate and violin!

I'm out west so maybe I can get in at the end.

My LCS says they have them on reserve for me. I hope they/I can wait til Saturday to get them!!!

I thought this was a funny thread about Deathmate. I especially find humor in the First poster's conclusion that "Deathmate definetly killed Valiant". Huh? http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?624425-Comics-What-if-Deathmate-never-happened" onclick="window.open(this.href);return f...

I think you meant EAT it!

Nice podcast. Definitely different than OTV. But good.

Even my 9 year old was listening in.

Apparently Akklaim was trying emulate Valiant alot.

vol.1 #6


vs

vol.2 #6

Really 3 hours to go? Does that mean that at midnight EST tonight they arrive?

I love how rob says on his twitter feed how he created Cable, Deadpool and others. What about Fabian Nicieza, didn't he have just as much input? Fabian is only credited Scripts in the issues. Which implies that the plotter (IE Liefeld) did everything but the text you find in the issues, which Fabia...

Ditto. I'm excited!

I'm guessing Harbinger 1 tops X-O 1. Me, too. Ditto. To me, Harbinger is the bigger book. I can't imagine Harbinger coming close to the X-O numbers. X-O is better advertised because it is the first book in the new line. #1s always sell better than #2s and this is an extension of the same principle....

Any west coasters still out there? I'm in now.

Are there really people who came into comics because of Liefeld?

I'm thinking more people left comics because of him. At the very least, certainly his actions have caused more heartache to his business partners.

Am I too late?

I'm guessing Harbinger will do slightly less, around 30-35k.

A&A might start out really small, but will be steady.

I'm all for 2nd chances and perception is in the eye of the beholder, but I read the first few tweets last night and knew it was going to go down quick.

Liefeld just isn't a cool guy, sorry.

Sorry a little late but it's interesting how similiar Ninjak and XO #6 covers are, for both volumes.

Man we are so close now!

Agreed. I would love to see a lot of classic connections to old Valiant.

Except I want a Psi-Lords book where they fight the Immortal Enemy.

On the other thread about X-O, someone said that Diamond announced that they are sold out of XO #1. How does that effect your guess of the print run?

I wonder how many Valiant actually published? I am thinking around 35,000.

Too high/low?

I agree. Plus the name fits better. I think that was the main reason for the change.

I assume you are referencing the worship of plants by the old SAs. I completely agree.

I think that would be the best use of him. I don't know that he would actually need his own title.

I don't know, I really liked his time jumping comic. I'd read it!

What about other baddies?

Except for Harada, have we seen any other old Valiant enemies in any promo art or comments from Dino? Darque? Mothergod? Ax? Ravenrok?

I'm thinking Ivar may appear randomly in different Valiant titles, time jumping around.

I'm super excited that Rai looks exactly like how Tohru used to look like.

Outstanding!

Maybe I don't know what it is.
