Re: What are your MUST-READ Valiant stories?

Off the top of my head … Harbinger Wars Armour Hunters Harbinger, Imperium, and The Life and Death of Toyo Harada X-O #0 (VH1) Kindts run on Rai Great list. Armor Hunters might be the most blockbuster story ever told in Valiant imo. And X-O Manowar #0 might be the most underrated. That opening is s...

Re: What are your MUST-READ Valiant stories?

Here's mine: 8. The Valiant Major problem with this as it contains one of the biggest mis-steps of VEI IMO. Issue #3 is a throwaway meeting of all of the VEI character for some nonsense battle. This effectively robbed us of a ton of ‘first meeting’ storyline between all of the characters….and it wa...

Re: Magnus: Steel Nation better than Solar: Alpha and Omega?

Imo Magnus 1-4 ain't got sh!t on Solar 1-10. They're both damn good, but Solar has this timeless, "epic" quality, that I have rarely seen replicated, and an awesome, unique gimmick with the Alpha & Omega inserts. Steel Nation, in comparison, is just a very well-told, fun cyber punk st...

Re: Alien should hire MOTA

I was wrong. Alien should absolutely not hire MOTA. No publisher should be hiring any writers who make false and defamatory statements. Libel and slander are serious business and serious no-nos.

Re: Best Case Scenario...

I've read all of syzhang's posts and none of them come anywhere close to harassment for me. But if they do for you, that's your opinion, fair enough. It's not just his opinion. They come off as harassment to me too. Not discourse, but outright attacks. And mainly unprovoked and directed at the wron...

Re: 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 ...

Anybody is always welcome to post here, but this has been a fan board since 2001, it should remain that way. Objectively, ...

Re: VEI Ivar

Yes, he is not immortal. It made for very moving moments whenever he interacted with his brothers because they had grown and changed so much in between and they never knew if they would see him again.

Not sure when he dies.

Re: Just not feeling it anymore

Literally the whole point of the Valiant Solar book is that despite people thinking that its not true. You need to separate the rhetoric from the text. The accident turned Phil and Erica into Gods, and whereas he struggled to retain his humanity, she reveled in her godhood, hence her becoming Mothe...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore

Arguably, one of the most important examples of how the tone of VALIANT's comics differed from that of DC and Marvel and made them more grounded was that Phil Seleski -- an energy God struggling to retain his humanity -- regularly met with a psychologist. That sort of anchor kept him grounded becau...

Alien should hire MOTA

This came from another thread and deserves it's own topic. He knows Valiant, he's passionate, he's a writer, he works hard (the VEI fan wiki) and they'd probably sell more because they would get the hardcore fans buy in. Anyone else feel this is a good idea?

I just googled Golden Liberty Comics and it looks like I hit the bullseye. Forget writing, you haven't even updated your facebook page since 2019. There's nothing wrong but being a struggling want-to-be writer. Every writer starts exactly where you are. Don't give up. But also don't pretend you're ...

In case it's unclear. I say this with love. If Alien were smart, they'd have you write a book, or even just a one shot. They'd sell more than they are now and they'd have someone that cares. No, it was not clear, heh. I wouldn't be against pitching them something, for sure. Lets see if they'll list...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore

Exactly. The lowest point in VH1 fandom was around 1999-2002. While the books were coming out but they were at their worst. Bad books will make it hard to remember why you like the characters. Until DMG/Alien finally dies and we can put a box around this VEI-Alien run we can't start to say this was...
