ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

Happy birthday, Jim Shooter!

The boards are dead because the dream died again. VALIANT is cursed by bad actors with $


Exactly. If the question is why aren't more people visiting, the answer is because nothing is happening. People wonder how many more times this thing can be resurrected. It's hard to be excited about ...

Great observation, never really thought about that before.

Everyone relax, the new readership will be here in their droves soon enough putting their money down and supporting the company. The same audience Valiant under DMG have been pandering to the last few years.

The ‘killers row’ of editing talent brought in by Fred Pierce couldn’t have been a ...

I agree, that is a really great story.

Happy Birthday to the man who wrote some of the greatest comic arcs of all time. Thanks, Jim.

Here's an interesting video about DC sales. The guy says that he's been told by an insider that "the hammer is about to fall on DC comics" by management. Says sales are horrendous and people are starting to notice. He sure sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

If true, I would imagine that ...

Wow! Well done, DBS!

That actually makes it worse, imo. Because if they don't care about sales of the title then it confirms that it is nothing more than a political/cultural agenda (which we all know it is anyway).

I would suspect that a study of young adults who identify as straight who are asked if they have had a sexual encounter with a person of the opposite gender in the last few years would find fewer than half had. In many cases, this would be more a hopeful identity than a sexual one.

I agree that ...

Please submit proof to back up this claim, because the way I see it, there are probably multitudes of factors that lead to Gen Z being queer af, and agenda-driven, low-selling comics are hardly #1 on the list. I do find it troubling that some lefties think it's okay to push children to transition ...

Doing great! Living the life in sunny Florida. Good job. How about you?

Doing well, thanks. In the process of getting a saltwater reef aquarium up and running... but it's very slow going (and super expensive).

Every generation seems to become more and more queer. This is just a fact.

"Seems" and "fact" is a little incongruent, imo.

I'm just saying that it's not a problem that Superman's son is bisexual.


It's not a problem, it's just stupid. This is the Atom Bomb of gaying up a title. I guess we're ...

Oh... yea, I don't care about that at all. 1 in 5 Gen. Z'ers identify as LGBTQ. It's totally understandable that Jon could be gay (bi?)

Ah yes. Suddenly overnight 20% of the population became homosexual. Sounds totally realistic. I guess we're destined to live in Gay Superman's world from now on ...

I'm not a fan of characters sharing the same title. I hate that they're pushing Jon as Superman, Jace Fox as Batman, and especially Jackson Hyde as Aquaman. It was *SQUEE* when Marvel pulled this a few years back and it's *SQUEE* now.

Not a fan of that either, but making Superman gay is just ...

...having a problem with losing "...and the American Way."

Everything else aside, you don't have a problem with that? It's outrageous, to me. The self-loathing is reaching an apex.

Oh, and as they mention in the article, Superman's son is taking over the mantle, and guess what? I mean, for Pete ...

Hmm, a Dunlow sighting. How are ya, buddy?

lol that *SQUEE* is going to be $35 for 96 pages and will not be in comic stores. I am very interested in a new superhero shared universe, but I can't invest in a universe with those kinds of prices and slow release schedule.

Also, this post = tell me you're a conservative without telling me you ...

I haven't set foot in my LCS since they insisted on making me wear a mask six months after everyone else gave up on that bad joke, so perhaps this is not news. But I found this article interesting since Heather Antos made me want to stop buying Valiant comics.

Apparently, not everyone in the ...

- she was just floating in the air, surrounded by energy and firing off generic energy blasts from her hands… just a complete disregard for anything to do with who she was as a good character. Disappointing.

At the end of Fallen World, Raijin starts talking about their anti-grav abilities. I ...

I was looking for something to read the other day and grabbed issues of Fallen World. It was then that I realized that I had not read a Valiant comic in three years. Yikes, where does the time go?

It started when Livewire's non-stop expanding power set allowed her to turn off everything electrical ...

VH1 was going off the rails anyway, so no. ...No writer wants to pick up where Birthquake left off.

That's it exactly. I definitely would not want them to have picked up where VH1 or VH2 left off. So then if not that, then when? Each title probably has a good point to have picked up from... but ...

I agree. This will be interesting.

So many wonderful memories in such a concise package. I never knew about the Rai #3 miscut covers.

Thanks Greg.

I'd venture to guess that they're sitting bagged and boarded in a long box somewhere with the owner having no idea whatsoever.
