Re: Thread for those that didn't like the webseries..Step in

The whole point was to bring in New folks to Valiant. I don't see this doing that. It's for juvenile thinkers. A couple passable action scenes doesn't make a good story. The worst part was the depiction of the characters. Ive been reading Valiant since 1991. I felt like they missed the mark complete...

Re: Random thoughts on the DMG takeover for Valiant...

Interesting thoughts, Greg. As for your comparison of Valiant to where DC and Marvel were at around 27 years old, these are different times. Comic books, superhero or otherwise, we're not such a focus of pop culture. That said, I've always said it's too early for Valiant movies and TV mostly because...

Re: Valiant Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons Resigns

I was literally sitting in the Valiant HWII panel today at C2E2 listening to Matt Kindt talk when one of the Valiant artists that I'm friends with texted me and told me about Warren. It was a bit surreal and the irony was palpable. During the Q&A at the end everyone was asking garbage like "...

I'm not the seller so I thought it would be ok to post this here. Just wanted to make sure no one missed this. Pretty sure this is a Stadium Comics variant. It's for Shadowman#1. It pays homage to my all-time favorite Batman cover, #608 2nd print. This thing looks bad A! I love how the loas behind h...

I had a feeling dmc would push out the previous staff. Can we not make conclusions without ANY information to confirm them? I talked to Hunter last week. It's his choice, not a "push out". Everyone who is still working at Valiant will, in the coming months, make a choice to stay or go. Do...

Please comment below and let me know. A few of these are questionable, as is the nature of the beast; however, most others are like...

Re: Valiant variants AREN'T out there (?)

Here's kind of what I was talking about earlier. This guy has "more than 10 available" of the Shadowman#1 E 1:250 Glow in the dark cover. Are we supposed to believe they ordered at least 2500 copies of the issue? I call *SQUEE*. What am I missing? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=ht...

Great thread. However, what if none of the stats we've received are in any way accurate? I'm a big variant collector, but sometimes I get the feeling like they're just being handled out to "favorite" retailers for no apparent reason. I've seen retailers that shouldn't have qualified or did...

Re: May 2018 Solicitations

Harbinger Renegade was the most hated book on this forum that I've seen. Now its not where you want it, when you want it and there's more complaining. I'm just happy we still have Valiant comics. I'm afraid that won't last long.

Re: To all those saying they are thinking of quitting Valian

I don't resent that. THAT right there is what I am talking about when I mention selling out. ...

Re: Fan Project for Dinesh?

I think I read where X-O #6 was Dinesh's first valiant comic. Maybe we could get Bob Layton to do a tribute cover with DMG knocking Dinesh out the building?

I'm really bothered by this new trend that the pinnacle of a comic's success is to be turned into a movie. I've been saying for years that I don't want movies until the comics stood on their own.
