Re: Dark Magic & the UK Punk Scene Collide in Punk Mambo #1

According to the new board of clues they jusr posted on fb, there is going to be a RAPTURE sequel. It seems a good spot to search for her and for Geomancer too.

Re: Valiant Classified: Big Plans for the Future…

Both RAI and NINJAK seem to have something in the works and HARBINGER will get a new proxy after FAITH with Harada's book. I think ARCHER & ARMSTRONG and some sort of all-star no-regular-title UNITY (ft the likes of Eternal Warrior, Doctor Mirage, Timewalker, Shadowman, Geomancer, Quantum - maybe ...

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT February 2019 Solicitations

I'll get all the floppies, as usual. March will take us back to half a dozen titles (XO, Livewire, BRS, Incursion, Livewire plus L&D of Toyo Harada) but besides that RAI ad in the new BLOODSHOT RS, nothing seems to be promoted. Maybe INCURSION will spin a new ETERNAL WARRIOR or GEOMANCER title, but ...

It is really worthy of the format. Add H-OMEGAS to it and I even prefer to the original VEI HARBINGER run. I hope an IMPERIUM v2 will eventually be published.

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Valiant's The Forgotten Queen returns

Well, I, for one, will be all over this one. Valiant lacks more Good Villains than anything else in their line. Even some historical ones as the Immortal Enemy and Dr Silk are really underused, besides the possibility of creating new ones repurposing some of their unused IPs (which is what I was/am ...

Re: Shadowman to end with #11

What a pity. Diggle's run must be his best thing ever and it will not even amount to 12 issues. I thought incursion would somehow be like BS USA or Rapture (in the sense these were directly spun off from ongoing titles). Let's hope Shadowman comes back either in another ongoing or in a sorely missed ...

I wish more RAI, UNITY, iHARBINGER/MPERIUM and TIMEWALKER, and some odd couple of VH1 and Acclaim IPs creatively ressurrected (such as ...

Re: Does VEI need more Iconic Villains?

My answer: Yes. That was VH1 biggest flaw, although that are some from those times that could be rebooted and reused (like more ambiguous concepts such as Heisererr's SECRET WEAPONS, which seems inspired on VH-1 Harbinger's B-Squad, or the current BLOODSHOT SQUAD which features Deathmate).

On the brink of carving out victory in the most violent battle of his life, Gilad Anni-Padda suffers a devastating injury.

UNITY (Ninjak, Livewire and GIN GR ) has just reappeared in Bloodshot U.S.A.. This must have happened before Ninjak going rogue in his own title and, presumably, also for G.A.T.E. I hope there will be a second version of them; former allies Deathmate, Punk Mambo and Bloodshot could replace Eternal ...

So Morrie will withstand/wear off Bloodshot USA's squee storm. Sounds like PRS is undermining Imperium/The Foundation Zone by resorting to buying their bigger asset (the uberfuturistic otherdimensional evil scientist) out of that crew. Money makes the Multiverse go round, right?

The future Valiant universe is lacking without X-O Manowar and Shadowman (Jack).

This series is Valiant's biggest loss of the year. Although predictable (I knew Toyo would spare Livewire) this is a very nice ending. I took it as an Harada Triumph. The naval victory was huge and the Foundation has its roots in Africa, from Somalia to Congo, a curious parallel to the current Asian ...
