ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I still collect Rai. If a good series comes out I will get it. No more minis for me. Strange how much has changed, so sad I won’t get a gold Rai book for this series.

This is a really awesome list...lots of work and reading.

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/valiant-entertainment-make-redundancies/ The final update says "Valiant reps state that Russell [Braun] remains in his current position." So what is it? Anyhow, how can they even keep (paying) everyone with the way they have pushed back all their series; some even to...

Mintz killed spec on Bloodshot when he took the rights to Paramount. The reason spec is up on Harbi her, XO is because people have hope...that too will fade when they find out more about Mintz. Get it if you can.

My question (since I already prepaid in NoHo) is can I order more than one set?

How about the news of “free comic book summer” instead of day? It will be nice to finally see that Joshua Dysarthria story after all these years! Lol

Ok... I just ordered issues 1-4 ENIAC from Ed (Collector’s Paradise). Ed is super nice and accommodating for anyone (like me) that doesn’t live near a comic distributor Of #Badidea (and needs mail service). Thank you Ed! Thanks, Tom. I am about to post about it, we are changing things up a bit from...

Juan Jose Ryp has moved on from Rai Where'd you hear that? He posted it. I followed up with him and some others. He loved doing Rai but with pencils down he moved on to other projects, like several other artists. I really hope he comes back, but I think he is to in demand for that to happen. Where'...

That’s really incredible. When the time comes (if ever! Lol) I will look into those because I like to support nice people and Stan certainly is super nice. I know about the Don Rosa collection, which always puzzled me too. I think the reason may be it is easier to sell and no haggling, where as when...

Very nice. I loved his Eternal Warrior. I read that before his other work. It was so creepy, I loved it!

I met BWS at a con once and he signed three Valiant books for me ... I also got him to sign three cards from the Upper Deck set. On the books he wrote his scribble, but on the cards he did the same initials he used on covers (BWS). This was at least 20 years ago ... Bob Layton and Don Perlin were a...

I have a Solar 3 and Solar 10 both verified signatures Wow... that is 2 significant books to have BWS sigs. :clap: Especially Solar #3! It would be great if Valiant fans had easier access to his signatures especially for these first appearance Valiant comics. We are all not getting any younger. I a...

Wow
Very nice. Congrats!
Did you ever meet BWS?

Sadly not yet. I really started going to cons after he quit.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am very stoked about finally getting a high grade copy. It has eluded me for years. Usagi, the Barks/Rosa Ducks and Valiant have always held a special place in my heart. https://i.postimg.cc/4ybvN2n6/IMG-9616.jpg Magnus the more I learn about you the more I like you...

Yes it is a legit sig. and yes CBCS does verify them. I have a Solar 3 and Solar 10 both verified signatures of BWS. Outside of those two books I have always wanted XO (actually a couple of them!) and Unity 0 signed by him. I think those are some of the most important books he did for Valiant.i love...

I don’t know that massive is the right word here..lol. According to the article it was 2 people. Honestly if they haven’t seen it coming they have not had their eyes open. DMG is back to upsetting creators. Brett Booth is off Bloodshot, Juan Jose Ryp has moved on from Rai (personally that hurts me!)...

I would state that most of them are variants, and that's a whole other beast! Lol. But the overall health of the market is staggering. So many books have gotten huge bumps that just seem to keep going. I agree or course that this is buoyed by other markets..high waters float all boats as they say.

Anyone else noticing the exploding prices on hot characters? Every time I turn around another book is reaching crazy prices. Every Genre seems to experiencing massive growth. It’s just so crazy to me. Books I bought off the rack 10 years ago getting hundreds of dollars raw, books I bought for. I jus...

Rai, every itineration has been awesome!
Rereading Shadowman from acclaim has been better than I remember it.
XO has always been a favorite.

But Rai. Always Rai..lol

I know people don’t remember but the combo blanks are much rarer than the regular blank cover. For those that don’t know they had flip book blanks from 2012 (?). They were XO/Harbinger, Archer and Armstrong/Bloodshot and Shadowman/ I forget right now..lol. I could pull the, out and check. I think th...

One of my favorite variants ever just because it was so crazy! I have 2 copies and I have a make ready (which is different layers of the cover as it went through production, 4 sheets) which is so fun. Super happy that I have the goat and then I have one of the characters from Stalinverse.

Yea, the Brushed Metal threw me off. Damn, I didn't realize that those Psi Lord books were that scarce! They are 100% ugly!

That is why they are so rare!

I know a lot of people don't like her, but she's not doing anything different from most editors. All editors will either ask for writers to pitch stories or pitch a story to writers and say what do you think. Comic book companies are always looking for story ideas. What does vary from Editor to edit...

That's some great info!
