Re: Board Activity

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 something ...

Re: COMIC BOOK PUBLISHERS, NOT PAYING CREATORS

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 monstero...

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

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 imag...

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).

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

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 it'...

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.

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

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. ...

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. T...

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

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 stupid...

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 industr...

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 o...

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

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 the...
