It's not even comparable to DMG. From D. Mintz wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Mintz_(executive) : His visionary early roots in China gave him immense insight and value as he took his company public to a value of over 7 billion dollars. You're telling me a visionary whose company DMG was wor...

I could get behind some monthly Giant-Size one-shots that still hit comic shops as saddle-stitched comics.

I don't mind that in terms of getting new stories out into the world, but I think they may sacrifice some buzz and sales among the habitual Wednesday Warriors. I assume if we get an OGN that means we are not going to get that character again for several months. I'd rather get to look forward to a mo...

How many VALIANT characters do you think Alien could name before the deal? Considering Alien has already been publishing Valiant comics overseas, I'd guess a lot of them. You're talking about a small venture run by people who chose to get into comic book publishing and then chose to pursue a licens...

The fact that they've already said it's not a reboot shows DMG at least has some say in the creative direction. How do you figure? I think that shows your own bias more than anything else. I personally don't want a reboot or return to OG continuity. I've invested 11 years reading VEI/DMG Valiant bo...

I contacted Valiant to see if I could help out with Kickstarter fulfillment. My own business relies heavily on Kickstarter (those who know me know this), and I even helped promote the Eternal Warrior campaign to our own Kickstarter backers. I just want to see this campaign fulfilled, and am willing ...

The thing is DMG is still in control, that tempers my expectations quite a bit. This is a licensing deal for Alien. They may have minimum requirements but there's probably no maximum limit beyond what they think would be profitable. And I highly doubt DMG will meddle with characters, plots, creativ...

I think if they're looking to rekindle the sense of tight continuity they should bring in one person to head the line, essentially like what Hickman did for X-Men. Have one head writer who writes a title or two and guides everything else. I'd love to see them give Dan Abnett a shot since he did such...

Numbers don't lie. Reviews, scores, audience numbers, awards all went way up. Some of the accepted best films of all time came in phases 2 and 3. Much like with Valiant, your personal taste seems to run against popular opinion. I'm shocked there are so many people who think Phase 1 was better. Othe...

absolutely will get there, it will just take a min to get it all started. I don't think anyone wants to just rush out content for the sake of filling shelves. it's gotta be good. I've been always saying the same stuff as you guys and want the same things as a fan. it kept me here long enough fighti...

the sky is falling How is this bad news? DMG is still in charge. that's it. that equals bad news. They got rid of people who cared about building the IP in the medium it came from: comic books. Then they nearly stopped supporting the IP, and wondered why their IP wasn't making money like they wante...

I'd hope that any new comics published by Alien Books bring in a new audience, and, ideally, it would be great if they could be lured here to become part of the community. Let us not become to VALIANT what fans of DC's Pre-Crisis are to that fandom; old farts that hate what's happening with the com...

I'm curious as to whether this means Valiant's in-house publishing department is completely shutting down and all publishing is being outsourced to a 3rd party. That's certainly what it seems like. I guess if you're not making any money and someone else is willing to take on the risk, that makes sen...

One thing I forgot to mention when I met Bob Hall for the above sketch….. I HOPE DMG VALIANT IS READING THIS !!! : Bob Hall said he enjoyed writing and drawing this short story for FCBD as an ad to help promote this upcoming new Shadowman video game. Everything he did in this short story was under ...

Got mine as well. Just downloaded and flipped through. I may wait until the physical book arrives to read. (NBD for me since my to-read pile is massive and perpetually growing.) But the art seems solid, and I'm excited to see some other major characters featured in the book. Also, from my experience...

Abnett's Rai was an "ongoing" series, was it not? In retrospect with 11 total issues I don't think it earned that distinction. Gotta make it past 12 at least or it's a "maxi-series" in my book. (And in reality I don't care if it's mini-, maxi-, or ongoing as long as the story con...

facepalm My LCS wondered when they will stop publishing. The Kickstarter is now nearly 5 months late, it was apparently going to the printer in Oct/Nov. not sure what the turn time is on those things but that seems incredibly long, even for China. At this point it's a completely reasonable question...

Man, the "SJWs (Social Justice Warriors) vs SGWs (Social Grievance Warriors) War" jumped the shark for me a few years ago. Can we bring nuance back? The new Valiant had the opportunity to right the historical wrong of Vh1 cutting off it's own head (for greed) just as they were about to be...

You guys are so committed to this narrative as if the sales attrition was not already there before Dinesh got booted. Valiant was putting out some of the best books in the industry with great creators and sales went down, down, down pretty much the whole time. They also put out some great books with...

Everyone relax, the new readership will be here in their droves soon enough putting their money down and supporting the company. The same audience Valiant under DMG have been pandering to the last few years. The ‘killers row’ of editing talent brought in by Fred Pierce couldn’t have been a monstero...

Cullen Bunn posted that he had not been paid for recent work by an unnamed publisher. Hard not to draw the obvious conclusion here...

I'm not sure it is exciting news tbh: no mention of a delivery window and the fact it's still undergoing "editing" at this point seems like bad news to me. Surely this thing should be running through the printing presses by now if the book is to make it to the distributor by the end of th...

I'm told that the Kickstarter fulfillment isn't even being handled by any of the New York-based Valiant personnel but by DMG directly. So while I fully support all the fine folks at Valiant, I am not so sure DMG wouldn't just cut and run on this. I hope they prove me wrong, but the NFT situation mak...

Hey guys! Back in 2017 or 2018 I grabbed a number of Spanish language editions of Valiant Comics while visiting Spain. They are single issues and appear to be published under license by a company called Medusa Comics. I put up one lot of Shadowman (2018) #1-4 and another lot of all different titles ...
