Good score on the RAI trade!

I have indeed read RAI zero... many times! I have two copies of it in my collection (one matte, one glossy!) :D I read the original RAI/Magnus flip-book issues way back in the day when they were first published, but didn’t get into RAI until well after it had changed to RAI & The Future Force. I had...

A while ago I decided to pick up digital versions of VH1 RAI 1-5, but haven’t had the time to get around to reading them. I am still missing print copies of 2,3 & 4 in my collection.

I’m thinking I’ll be queuing up those comics as my next quarantine reading session

Welcome! I highly recommend reading the 2012 Harbinger series, if you’re looking to try out any other new Valiant titles!

Assuming you’ve read HARD Corps 1-4 already, or even if you haven’t - I say read HARD Corps #5 next!

Bad Idea FTW! Once again showing everyone else how to be classy business people.

As far as poaching more Valiant talent - totally agree with the idea of going after Dan Abnett & Juan Jose Ryp, as well as Adam Gorham, Alex Paknadel, and Raul *&* Patricia Martin!

I voted for Incursion, Punk Mambo & Fallen World. It seems likely that RAI would edge out Punk Mambo for one of my 3 votes, but I haven’t read an issue of it yet so I can’t cast that vote (been buying digital copies of the issues to date, but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet). Incursion also ...

Glad to say that Lazarus:Risen #4 came out on what looks to be the final day of new release comics for the foreseeable future. They managed to keep to their schedule of releasing these oversized new format issues on a quarterly basis this year. Here’s hoping the industry (and everyone in general) ma...

I sincerely feel bad for anyone who is spending more than $4 for a copy of this comic. I feel bad for anyone even wasting *that* much money on it. But anyone who has bought multiple cover variants, and especially anyone who has spent big money on any higher-ratio variants, has been utterly duped and...

When they relaunched they title with Matt Kindts take on it, I was a little disappointed that they decided to ignore past continuity for the most part to tell a fresh tale, but in that case the continuity was not chucked out the window so much as just set aside while we jumped forward in time a bit....

Now it’s my turn to comment this - wow, no one wants to discuss the new XO, eh? Timing is bad of course, with the pandemic and the self-isolating and all the shutdown/lockdown activity happening, etc. I’ve read the issue and I think it’s absolutely atrocious, and a disgraceful entry in the XO/Valian...

He switched to jean shorts?

So had you heard of Bloodshot or Valiant before the movie buzz? I had heard of him vaguely ... a couple of issues of Faith and also knew of Quantum & Woody... X-O Manowar Vol 1 trade Well the good news is you’ve got a ton of great books to read which you haven’t yet. Forget Faith and Quantum & Wood...

Uuuuh, spoiler convo?

I am very aware of his inflated pricing habits. I had always wanted to buy a comic from there just to say that I did, due to the nostalgia element of growing up seeing his ads in comics for so long. Every time I actually see something if his listed on eBay, I usually laugh at the price. It does not...

I've been reading more Marvel again lately - still loving Immortal Hulk 30 issues in, really digging the new Ghost Rider series so far with Ketch & Blaze as the main focus, sticking with New Mutants after reading the HOX/POX mini-series, and I was even picking up the recent Avengers issues for the S...

I still buy everything in anticipation of catching up... but I must admit that just tonight I was wondering why I'm buying comics I don't read. I should probably make some time to start reading again, I heard that Fallen World was pretty good. I would recommend Fallen World. :thumb: I promised myse...

I really liked the Punk Mambo mini-series but couldn't get past the first issue of Roku. I think the line art style is an interesting choice for this, I like the look in the preview images and I am up for giving it a chance. Colours are gorgeous as usual from Jordie. VMG continues to set the bar dis...

If the cover direction was for generic action or standing poses, the more generic the better, the cover artists succeeded brilliantly. I hope somebody is keeping track of the number of X-O covers where's he's posing generically with the silly light sword. Quoted for truth. Seriously generic covers ...

Sooo so so sweet. I have missed seeing new art from Lewis! Hope I can track down copies of this one whenever the books start coming out!

I guess I am getting spoiled by modern writers. I really WANT Visitor to be good, but two issues in and the most excitement I have for it is hoping the next issue will be better. I apologize to anyone personally invested in these, but Valiant has been my favorite comic book company since the 90's. ...

I am now so far behind in my Valiant reading that I have not even gotten to any January releases yet. But The Visitor & Rai are the only two that I'm really interested in reading, if I'm being honest.

I’m a member of both the Valiant Fan Page & the Bad Idea fan page on Facebook. I’m anticipating what Dino & crew have up their sleeves, and I’m a fan of their creative output based on what they did for VEI. While I’m a lot less enthusiastic about current Valiant output on average, I’m still a Valia...
