ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I thought I would share a brag here...first time..lol. I picked up XO 15 Kotaki variant for $2.25. That’s my best brag so far.

Sorry guys I have not been on the boards much but this was my favorite issue hands down. I loved so much about this story, art and colors. It asked some very important questions and showed some very stark contrasts between what makes Rai the hero and Bloodfather the villain in such subtle ways. Also...

Hey guys I have had the pleasure being on the podcasts and I think Rai has been better every time. To me issue 2 has been the strongest so far, and three is what every comic needs. Nothing major just some character development , a little down time. That’s not saying things didn’t happen just that it...

I love the art so I have enjoyed the series so fat. Yes it is different but at least they are commenting on his past which I think is a good thing. I wonder what people will think of 6?

Hey guys is anyone reading Rai? I mean this series is great! The art has been top notch feeding into the story, even the coloring works. The story is very layered, working in mostly single issues while advancing the long game. It is dealing with some pretty heavy themes in regards to what constitute...

So sad. I have so many thoughts but I will keep them to myself... Still so sad.

There displays have been getting smaller and smaller every year... at wondercon and Stan Lee’s comic con they didn’t even have their own booths.

His daughter died last year. She was sick the year before. I think his leaving Bloodshot had nothing to do with that. I still love Bretts work. I for sure believe that Valiant is jinxed. If it goes down this time I am afraid it’s down for the count.

Very true.

Even if that ratio of who left, who was removed is mixed look at how often people are gone. They keep saying how great everything is and how great the out look is and I can’t count how many people have left in the last 2 years. If you count staff with talent that number is more than just a little tr...

Our very own Miss Jay drew that cover. I will ask her to answer this for you, but to be honest it was a long time ago so I don’t know how well she will remember.

Also I think they need to have a plan for announcing new books. For example don’t announce XO Manowar for Nov and then push if back by months. Granted it’s better to do that then go through something like Rising Spirit, but these people are not new at this. I think this is at the core of what's mis...

I will present some solutions but to what end? Valiant editorial has stated they want the “writers to tell their stories”. They do not want them weighed down by and worried about continuity. So really even though I can offer thoughts on a solution, it is not in line with what Valiant is doing story...

Great points all. If I remember correctly most con variants were at least 1000, with the exception of the BART Sears Vegas con at 500? It’s been a while so I could be wrong..lol. It was just something I was wondering about. Kind of like the hardcover books with the tip page with signatures, I know t...

Anyone here reading Devil's Odyssey yet? I'm loving this, even if it only just started, 2 issues out. :D Its a beautiful looking comic (great work by MW and son) and story-wise is completely different from anything Grendel that came before, as it was expected. I don't know how to put it, but it jus...

Click on this link to see an incredible Starbrand cover for the upcoming Avengers 27. https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP190901" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I was going to comment on this , I love this cover! I so enjoyed Starbrand and can’t wait for it to be brought back co...

I wish Russ well on his new job.

So I saw A&A 1% on the list, how about a couple other ghosts? I ask about Rai 8 Sears variant (I have one and have never found another) or the summer of Valiant trade? Not to mention some of the very rare convention exclusives...just wondering. I do understand that it maybe because of low sales volu...

Hey guys as is usually the story with DMG there is a lot more to this story. It is not mine to say what happened of course. Allow me to say I will miss Mel. I gave him , and to be fair several at DMG a hard time. Unlike those others Mel handled it with grace. He understood the criticism was coming f...

That’s really cool!

I went to a friends store a few weeks back and bought several first and last issues of these series. A bunch of them signed by the creative team, and even a couple preview books. It’s still fun for me to grab these books when I see them.

Honestly I haven’t had time like I wanted but I am going to check his out this weekend! Thanks for the hard work.

For what it is and will be I thought it was fine. Seeley has said its action driven. The comedy is something I did not enjoy, but I know why it’s there, or I think I do. I love Brett’s work, but he is not the artist for this book (I have been saying this since the first pages were previewed) because...
