Re: Small Free View effort

So it wasn't much, and the LCS I donated these too just opened late last year, so not a lot of traffic. That said, the owner informed me two people came back and are looking for some more - one for Shadowman and one for Bloodshot. It's not much, but it's something I guess :)

Small Free View effort

I was inspired by the other Free View threads on this forum. When I saw Valiant was offering the $1 #1 issues, I figured I could gift a few away. I ordered two bundles of the #1s (1 of each title, 5 total, per bundle) for a total of 10 comics. I am dropping them off tomorrow to be deposited into 10 ...

Ok great, thanks for explaining that :) I'm still reading the older stuff, anyhow :)

new valiant vs old valiant

So, I'm relatively new to Valiant. As I had mentioned in my intro post, I had a few back in the day that I read but don't really remember - I remember thinking the Eternal Warrior issues I had were decent at the time. Going back and reading the first series stuff is painful in some ways after ...

Re: X-Factor 6 - 1st Appearance of Apocalypse

I picked up an almost complete run of X-Factor from 1-50 or so in like 2006/2007 for like $40. Had a VF+ copy of #6 in it, and I just ordered another VF+ for $4.99 yesterday. Might hold on to these for a while :)

Re: All New X-Men

I am not a fan of time travel either, in comics. However, I think after AvX a lot of people had the "what if the "old" scott could see what he became? what would he think?" thought in their mind, and this book explores that. The "period in the past" they get plucked from is right about x-Men #8 (yes ...

Re: Bloodshot 9 availability

I cannot comment on BS9, but I ordered some current back issues online and they ALL look like they were run over by a truck. Not torn up, but major denting on the covers, lots of impression-bleed-through on the cover (as in, I can open the cover and see and feel ripples where the title of the book ...

Re: My LCS Refuses to Stock Valiant Variants

I just talked to my retailer (the only retailer in my city that carries Valiant) yesterday about why I didn't receive the Master Darque pullbox variant for Shadowman #5, and apparently they've refused to order any of the variants because, to quote the owner, "Valiant keeps screwing with our variant ...

Short and quick

almost 34 years old, been collecting comics off and on since about '88 or '89 or so. Bought some of the older Valiants in the early nineties and I remember them being decent back then, though I jumped right in the middle. Didn't read them for long.

Recently came back to comics after almost a 15 ...
