Re: Diamond filles for chapter 11 bankruptcy



It’s huge. End of an era. Maybe for the best. Maybe not.


It could be the end of Diamond remember Marvel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and they're alive and well.


Yeah, the brand might survive, but I expect a new company will emerge. I have no clue whether that could be better or worse ...

Re: SCHISM from DEFIANT - Kickstarter ft. Jim Shooter, David Lapham

As a fan, I don't really care if they have permission or the legal right to print it although it should be noted that it appears they have secured the permission. This isn't a case of pirating. This is comic archeology or, to use less grandiose language, it's a fan project.

If anyone is concerned ...

Jim Shooter co-created the Beyonder. Maybe it's a teaser that Shooter is coming back.

Jack is in New Orleans so I think it's either going to be Bonni (short o) - face or fass. Doubtful that it's fache.

I do know some folks with the last name of Boney, pronounced like, you know, bone - ee, but I doubt Boniface would get Boney-Face because it's just too on the nose. Or maybe there is ...

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe #1

I had not purchased a Valiant title in a while, but I got this one and found it to be fine. A good start.

I know, it's shocking for a Valiant fan to buy and enjoy a Valiant title, but it happens every now and then. These aren't carried by my LCS and I didn't pre-order the rest of the mini, so I ...

Re: Quantifiable proof of the Valiant fallen under DMG

I think the OP's conclusion is correct (Valiant IP has fallen), but I'm not sure this Kickstarter comparison tells us anything significant.

If I understand this correctly, the Bloodshot series is still going to be released and available to order with your LCS/DCBS 35% discount later down the road ...

Say what you want about Frank Miller, but this image is emblazoned on my mind and was a seminal turning point for my relationship with comics back in the 80s.

There was a pretty decent animated movie released 2007/8-ish.
Thanks. I was not aware of that. Now I'm off to tracking that down!
