Probably Unity, though can't really say that I read it much except for the X-O and Armor Hunters tie-ins.

Future versions of H.A.R.D. Corps that acted as some sort of space patrol squad in 4001 AD

The overall premise of Bloodshot is honestly more in line with Universal Soldier, not Terminator or Total Recall, but that's really just fanboy nitpicking

I'm not inherently anti-Marvel, but it does irk me that because the Disney films are doing so well, they feel that they have the license to do whatever they want in the books and think that people will just lap it up. And the books that actually have some modicum of depth to them will be cancelled ...

However, more problematic for me, nine issues to get to this point at the end of the issue makes me reflect that I don't feel there has been much meat on the bones of Bloodshot Reborn to be honest, and I think that was underlined by Ray/Bloodshot not following through on exploring his history. So ...

Could you expand on what that book says Shooter's original ideas for the New Universe were? I'm a huge New Universe fan, but I'm not sure if I've heard what that book has to say on that topic.
I really appreciate any info.
Basic gist was that he started off by having people kill either popular ...

Been reading Marvel Comics: The Untold Story and it's gotten me interested yet again in Shooter's initial ideas for "New Universe" where a big bang would obliterate everyone and everything in the Marvel Universe into something entirely new and different. While Ultimate Marvel seems to be the closest ...

I really hope Vendetti is going somewhere with this, because a slow build up to absolutely nothing could be disastrous for this book

Bloodshot is drawn into an adventure that pits him against the Shadowmen, a gang of monster truck driving mad men that have appropriated the likeness of Jack Boniface, Valiant’s Shadowman. But there is someone helping the Shadowmen, a puppet master, who’s secret identity will turn Bloodshot’s world ...

Thoughts on this imprint? Kind of baffled at how short of an existence it had

I'd be nice if Shooter would give Dinesh and co the rights to the characters

Broadway Video (the parrent of Broadway Comics) was bought out by Golden Books, which was then purchased by Random House (publishing) and Classic Media (film and TV). Thats the same deal that included the Gold Key characters. Dreamworks now ownes Classic Media.
It would be interesting to see ...

30% off for just one or multiples?

It may not have been reneging before, but Dinesh made it absolutely clear that LoTG will not be reprinted in any form on the latest Valiant Central podcast.
I don't think I can properly phrase my outrage and disgust at Dinesh's decision without cursing, so I'll just refrain. Really, that statement ...

Black Knight #1 came out last week and it's actually pretty decent. Premise is that Black Knight is trapped on Weirdworld and is slowly succumbing to the power of the Ebony Blade

Interesting idea, came up with something similar some months ago for a futuristic Scarlet Pimpernel/Daring Dragoon story

I really don't see the point in making a "deluxe edition" of a four issue mini ...

Oversized how? You mean like more pages?

Given how overhyped it was, I expected it to be a little bit better than what we ended up with. It wasn't exactly a bad start, but a little confusing in regards to what was going on

In the case of Micronauts, I think Bill Mantlo was the only writer who could handle those characters. I suspect the same will be true of ROM.
I loathed Mantlo for years after I found out that he was partially responsible for the ruination of Howard The Duck and who's ideas were used for the awful ...

I enjoyed most of what I read of Dark Horse's Star Wars books, but Marvel's efforts seem totally uninspired
Half of Marvel's current re-booted library may be complete crap, but they know what sells and they know how to sell it. There are so many Spider-man and Avengers related books on the horizon ...

Bound books is the best kind of porn, been interested in this kind of stuff since I came across a photo of a stack of books that contained every single issue of Nickelodeon Magazine

I'd only go for the sake of having a laugh at Max Landis' expense over how poorly American Ultra did

At this point, I'm far more interested in getting a decent PC. And before anyone says "Oh, PC gaming is too expensive", take a gander at this http://choosemypc.net/#top" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You can build your own PC from the ground up that will give you better graphical ...

The problem with trying to mass merchandize towards children is that, well, Valiant isn't an entirely "kid-friendly" product. Which isn't to say that there aren't ways around that, take a look at Marvel's "Adventures" line for instance it's numerous cartoons on Disney XD

And there has been quite a ...
