Dinesh laments what Valiant has become

Not sure if anybody else noticed it, but last week Dino was discussing the ouster of himself and the majority of the staff on Twitter. He said, "It was a heartbreaking turn of events and has been even more painful watching Valiant change into what it is now." I know many people have wanted...

Re: Valiant Unveils a Slate of Four All-New Series

I agree that Faith is a strange choice, given her last team-up mini had really week sales. I think some of the shine may have worn off on Faith titles. Having a Dr. Mirage solo mini and a real Harbinger series would have been better.

Re: Poll to get a better feel for reboot support

I think rebooting would be a collossal mistake. We've already seen how hard it is for Valiant to attract new readers into the universe, and not for lack of trying all kinds of innovative strategies. I don't think a reboot would entice any significant amount of new readers, and it presents a clear of...

Re: August Solicitations

Can we take a moment to appreciate that the Renegades are finally meeting Unity for the first time? I mean it took six years for it to finally happen, but the most of the pillars of Valiant Universe are finally in the same room together thanks to Harbinger Wars II. Faith is the only Harbinger chara...

Re: Ninjak sale on Comixology until Feb. 15th

Does anyone think it's weird that they're doing this sale? Single property sales like this on Comixology tend to correspond to some kind of event that they want to promote: a comic series launch, or a movie release. Ninja-K has been out for a while...its almost like they thought the web series was g...

Just Sayin': Thinking back to Acclaim Launch

I know that it's still the early days, and there's been almost no information made available. I'm not saying that there will definitely be a total reboot of the comic universe. But I do want to say something, just in the event that there could someday (perhaps a long time from now) be such an event....

Setting aside the issue that DMG did not initially acquire majority share, but acquired another share recently...

Re: Harbinger

I think at this point, the best route would be to just not continue the series. They don't even have to worry about making an announcement about cancelling the book, which would acknowledge the failed nature of the experiment. The title was only selling 5000 copies per issue, and any lower than that...

Re: December 2017 Solicitations

So I guess it'll be like this for a while... 4 ongoings, 1 mini, and a one-shot. I guess I'm down. They're trying to slim down to put even more focus on their 'Icons,' and then, if Salvation, Ninja-K, and Q&W are as successful as X-O was it will be very easy to launch more series off of a solid...
