Re: SCOOP: Valiant's Beyond Preview Edition Ashcan At San Diego Comic-Con
Limited to 2000 copies is such a bad decision. If you're creating a promo book to hype your launches don't limit it...feels like business 101.

Re: What can I learn from Dinesh suffering a hostile takeover?
this whole DMG takeover has been for nothing.

Jim Shooter has died
Sad day for any Valiant fan. Sadder still to see an obituary post that lays bare so many of his warts. It's time to let that all go now.

Re: Post Resurgence
Potentially, the most interesting thing in a hypothetical meeting between VH-1 Faith and VEI Faith would be the latter's relationship with VEI Archer, where, in contrast, VH-1 Archer married VH-1 Flamingo.

Re: Post Resurgence
The 1991 Valiant comics in 2001-2006 were a ghost town. They didn't really come back into popularity until VEI showed everyone just how good Valiant and the characters can be. 2012 was VEI.
Yeah you obviously weren't here or in the fanbase. 2001-06 a Ghost town? It was a vibrant and growing ...

Re: Post Resurgence
Matt Kindt didn't write Book of Death or Armor Hunters. You should read the comics before you dismiss them or make insults to people who bring them up.
I love 90s comics. I'm here because of them. But VEI didn't just modernize them they did it better. Then they expanded way past what 90s did or ...

Re: Post Resurgence
One interesting aspect of a meeting between the three Faiths (VH-1, VH-2, and VH-3) would be that the first one would be the eldest of the group, having been born in the '70s (the second one would be only slightly younger, having been born in 1981), and also have had more experience as a member of ...

Re: Post Resurgence
At the end of Resurgence, the VEI iterations of the VALIANT characters became lost in the multiverse.
Most are in the Underdeadside, some are still in the VEI reality, and Aram and Faith appear to be lost in the bridge between them.
What if Faith and Aram end up finding their way to the VH-1 and ...

Your definition of terrible is "if it's not like it was in the '90s, it's bad no matter who does it".

The comics are terrible. That's not really up for debate.
If you can't see bad editing, you aren't qualified to talk about editing.

Here's something I found in literally one second of looking:

Forced cameos by virtually every character in the Valiant U for ‘reasons’ :?

Oh man.... Now THAT is exactly how I picture Shadowman. I wish VEI would take him in this direction. Mysterious, mystical and 100% Adult oriented.
Would be a big hit IMO.

It sounds like Alien and DMG work together on the books (Alien has to run everything past DMG) so I imagine IDW is helping from a publisher standpoint.

Re: "We Anticipate Being Able to Focus on Expanding": Valiant Publisher Breaks Down New IDW Deal
Then what's the problem?
Dinesh set up his own world building for VEI, and DMG and Alien have been consistent with it.
You didn't answer the question though, it had nothing to do with VEI vs DMG. I'll make it more clear for you:
Here's what I don't understand. You've railed for decades that ...
