Re: Re-reading Magnus and got to the Malevs...

I thought after Unity the title suffered a bit but got right back on track with Ostrander. Am I alone in the Gold Armour hate though?

Re-reading Magnus and got to the Malevs...

Wow, I forgot how much I love this story line. I think Magnus was really struggling creatively after it's first excellent 10 or 12 issues. For me it was actually very close to being dropped back in the day. But John Ostrander really turned things around with an exciting story that made me a full on ...

*SOLD* Want to trade Imperium #1 1:40 & Divinity #1 1:40

As the title suggests I'm looking to trade an Imperium #1 1:40 Braithwaite cover CGC 9.6! I have this and a few other new Valiant variants but my heart remains with the VH1 books. So I'd like to trade my book for some key VH1 issue(s). Ideally I'd love a High Grade red Unity #0, a Rai #9 Gold, and a...

The OTV Podcast

Hi guys,
I've recently started listening to the Only the Valiant podcast. I liked the first few episodes so I dug in for the long haul. I don't want to sound like a jerk but which episode does the current hosting line up start? I'd like to jump to when one of the former hosts has left.

Thanks!

Re: Imperium #1 1:40 Braithwaite cover CGC 9.6 questions...

I'm a classic Valiant guy too. This was a one off. I have dabbled reading some of the new Valiant and its pretty good! I have no idea what I'm gonna do with this Imperium #1... it does look beautiful. But I will tell you, I can't for the life of me see why it's a 9.6 and not a 9.8! :? I also got bac...

Re: Imperium #1 1:40 Braithwaite cover CGC 9.6 questions...

So DirtbagSailor (I feel bad calling you that...) How much of this is boils down to just buying the number on the plastic? And I'm not slamming CGC here I'm just curious as to the odds of a 9.6 ever being seen as any different than a 9.8 to the naked eye in raw form to non pro graders. I mean could ...

Re: Imperium #1 1:40 Braithwaite cover CGC 9.6 questions...

Thanks for the response! I did check the eBay history and there are only 4 sales total and the one 9.6 price is more than 10 times lower than the 9.8 price. That seems like too big of a disparity to me to determine proper value. From what I can tell not many have sold on this board either. I'm not f...

Imperium #1 1:40 Braithwaite cover CGC 9.6 questions...

So I've got a Imperium #1 1:40 Braithwaite cover CGC 9.6 (As you may have guessed from the subject...) coming my way. It's my first time CGCing a comic (I did 4 other comics as well). I'm torn on whether to keep or sell. I know it's very rare, I also know there aren't many sold to get an idea what i...

I never really tried to further the point that Spawn was important. Oh no Jay I understand that was never your point.

this book continued to be (if I remember) at least a top 10 seller. Now, is it possible other character had similar splashes. Of course that's why I said 'one of' - as Spawn was absolutely huge. But you make it sound like he's been a top seller ever since he debuted. He was for a few years but it c...

Well my point more was 99% of people who don't read comics don't know who Spawn is and me adding Todd was just an afterthought about the 1% I typed. As for the word 'Launches' well every character is 'launched' so I just assumed launched means, well.... what the word means... to set forth, to start....

In many ways whether we like it or not, Spawn has been one of the most successful characters launches ever: cartoon, toys, movies, a sustained, consistent comic run - there is a lot of Spawn merchandise out there and he did it himself . Ever?? I don't know if I would say ever. Maybe most successful...

He's cooler than ol' Todd though You know I met Todd McFarlane in 1986 and he was the nicest guy ever. I understand money can change people and all that, but at that time he was just a punk from western Canada like the rest of us. He sat with me, my older Brother and his friends, and talked Golden ...
