Re: Alien making the same mistake as DMG

See, I like this idea! The Superman comics did this in the 90s and it worked really well across the 4 different Superman titles. :thumb: Their numbering was on the cover page though. Either way, Im good.. This is totally different. This is 5 separate covers per book, just like DMG did with multiple...

Alien making the same mistake as DMG

I was just flipping though the new Previews magazine 428 (March for books shipping in May) to see what Alien would be releasing. And it looks like it is falling into the same bad habits that ended up hurting DMG. Lots of small mini-series and a focus more on releasing multiple covers as opposed to m...

Same here. I've yet to get one. I'm assuming since they are prestige format there is only 1 cover for each issue instead of endless covers like before?

Re: How to get Deathmate Orange preview without ruining it?

That is one of the copies that was not bound into Previews. I also have a 9.8 Orange. IIRC correctly someone from Valiant had a number of extra copies they printed that were not bound into previews and he was selling them off years ago. One individual bought a number of the nicer looking copies from...

Valiant CGC 9.8 HARBINGER #1 DMG CHINESE VARIANT

Not mine but I noticed a copy graded CGC 9.8 of HARBINGER #1 DMG Chinese Variant is less than 10 hours away from closing on eBay and only at about $50. (I paid many multiples of that for my copy). Someone might get a good deal https://www.ebay.com/itm/145278988311?_trkparms=ni_actn%3Anav%7Cni_nt%3AW...

Re: A&A 1 % gold tint

I don't have the 1% Gold tint. It would be nice to have in CGC 9.8 but I don't really consider it to be a gold cover. (Just like I don't consider Harbinger Renegade 5 to be a gold cover nor the Quantum and Woody (2020) #1 Fool's Gold cover to be one). I have the current list of VEI gold covers at 36...

Re: Nintendo Comics System 2022 CGC numbers

The weird thing is prices continue to go up even though more books are being graded. I have little hope of resuming my abandoned project to have all teh Nintendo books in CGC 9.8. I'm still top of the registry but only half way complete

Wow. Congrats to the seller (and the buyer). I'm surprised that this went for so much more than other Valiant covers, although I guess it is a matter of what comes up for sale and when.

It's been time to pull the plug for a while now.

Re: Layoffs & Resignations Leave VALIANT’s Future in Doubt

Ouch.

This is probably the end of VEI. They were hardly publishing anything to begin with and their pivot to NFTs was stupid and a waste of resources.

Wonder if they will sell the character IP to anyone?
