Re: Mattel loses DC action figure license in 2020

The best part of the multiverse line was the build-a-figure parts. Who in Valiant would be worthy of the build-a-figure?

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

I know Bunn has let me down on Lobo and Carnage, but I don't think Punk Mambo has enough history that I'll be disappointed. The art is good in black and white, and I hope Bunn is giving it his all. I hope his editors have said, 'rock it'. Because his creator-owned stuff is always top notch.

Re: Joe Illidge Open Letter To Industry

At Valiant, we courageously opened the doors to emerging creators, in order to elevate characters to new heights. :lol: Yeah, I interpreted this to mean “I used my opportunity at Valiant to progress my agenda at using unknown creators for (possibly) political reasons instead of bringing in top crea...

Re: Anyone know what else is getting canceled?

Shadowman is ending with #11. Last solicit said final issue. i was just guessing. i had not read that issue yet. they need to just write 12 issue stories and thats it. im tired of them writing like its a ongoing monthly and canceling it. then it feels incomplete. I actually agree with you here. If ...

Re: Shadowman to end with #11

I prefer it to be because of sales, rather than the new regime wanting a different take, or to oust all who were chosen before. I'm happy that Diggle is still open to work with Valiant in the future. Shadowman has shown he can't get the numbers they are looking for, so the switch in Incursion does m...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Valiant's The Forgotten Queen returns

Looks cool. The name change makes sense. It's redundant to have two lead characters with "War" in the name when we already have War Mother. It's similar to the Faith/Zephyr situation. I wonder if the mini-series will reveal her real name. I dig the redesigned outfit on the last cover. She...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

I just finished Walt Simonsons Thor run. Hadn’t ever read any Thor before and thought it was excellent. Some fantastic moments throughout, and a very compelling Asgard. I never found the Asgard or side characters in the movies(Thor 1 and 2) to be that interesting. Are any of the Vol 1. Thor stories...

Re: Are the covers better now?

Valiant really needs to stop smelling it's own farts. The covers certainly aren't better now. Nothing is. They need to lay off all the news items showing so-and-so being promoted from the janitor room to copy boy. It's pointless and meaningless. They should only be announcing on page talent not eve...

Re: Alex Paknadel Reveals Your First Look at Valiant’s Incur

Stunning art. Interesting story. But this is a puff piece. How would the author know what the comic is is without reading it, and it’s not done. Lots of conclusions without any knowledge. There is what Valiant wants, but you never know what it is until it’s done. Silly. Also, not yet convinced on t...
