Re: Armorclads 5 the new armorines 4?

Seems they're still going, but slimming down even more. (Didn't think that was even possible.) TBD what their plans are for the future. You would think if they're going to be a comic company, you'd want to expand the line so there was at least one new book coming out every week.

Re: Exclusive: Valiant's Harbinger Film Moves Forward At Paramount With New Director

This director was announced well over two months ago and maybe because no one really cared by picking it up and running the story they tried again on a slower news cycle day. But this isn't new news and I'll honestly be shocked this is the guy to direct this film. -Brian I think the difference is t...

Threads like this always make me miss ZWH. I'm assuming he had strong opinions? If I'm not mistaken, he's RockMyAmadeus over on the CGC boards, but he stopped posting there a couple of years ago. (But he's still on the boards; he'll react to others' posts.) Not sure where he was politically, becaus...

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

I read about a study wherein they studied young adults who identify as some kind of gay and asked if they had had a sexual encounter with a person of the same gender in the last few years and fewer than half had. In many cases, this was more a political identity than a sexual one. Some people find ...

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.

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. ...

Re: DBS's 100% CONFIRMED "Rare" Print Run Info

Any guesses as to how many 2012 Harbinger #3 1:20 Zircher comics (1st new Livewire) were made? The only clue that I see is that Harbinger #2 1:20 had 2000 printed. But, since Harbinger #2 was advertised to have a first appearance (1st Darpan) is it possible that Harbinger #3 1:20 had a smaller prin...

Re: Valiant's problem with royalties

I get Dysart's anger at Valiant, as he redefined the whole Harbinger universe and built the first real VEI crossover. But I have no idea what Tom Fowler did that would warrant getting royalties. I would argue that Priest and Bright have a much bigger claim on anything from Quantum and Woody, and Fo...

Valiant's problem with royalties

Not sure if it was discussed here, but some time back there was some comics news chatter about Dysart not getting expected royalties from Valiant in the new era, after the licensing of Harbinger. I just saw this on Twitter, so I guess it's not an isolated incident? Screen Shot 2021-09-23 at 10.52.16...

Is Dinesh posting this info somewhere? How does 900 for the 2nd print compare to the first printing (I would guess that the 2nd prints for most VEI comics would have less copies than the first printings :? )? He didn't say. He did say that the 2nd print wasn't really warranted, but they loved the c...

Just a quick question. Is Valiant: The Year of Heroes FCBD 2020 Special (with Vin Diesel on the cover) the first comic appearance of KT and Wigins? Or is it Bloodshot Vol #4 issues 10 and 11? It's an exclusive story and prologue to BS #10 so "yes," definitely their first appearances. KT's...
