Re: Another lapsed collector, returning to the 90s

Oh, Deathmate is dreadful . I recently re-read it and was really stunned by a) how confusing they made it with no clear reading order b) cut crucial story stuff out for the preview editions and c) had such a lackluster story. But, like I said, it made me curious about Valiant characters and I start...

Re: My collection - reunited!

Thanks guys! Had to come up with something that looked better than longboxes and it turned out being way better use of space and makes it easier to get to my books. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks for sharing the photos. My collection currently fills up my closet in a bunch of shortboxes,...

Re: Question about Deathmate White covers

Funnily enough, I just started to actually organize the blind boxes of Valiant books I picked up from a local comic shop and found this in one of them. Image

Re: Another lapsed collector, returning to the 90s

Welcome to the board! :high-five: Deathmate isn't the highlight of Valiant story-telling, but anything that leads people to the best Valiant stuff can be a legit part of the journey. Oh, Deathmate is dreadful . I recently re-read it and was really stunned by a) how confusing they made it with no cl...

Another lapsed collector, returning to the 90s

Re: Question about Deathmate White covers

*waves hello* Hey, everyone! I'm new to the boards but have been a Valiant fan since ~1992. I'm doing some research for a podcast episode about Deathmate, which I've always had a big soft spot for (sorry, I know). I'm trying to figure this out: Were the white cover issues due to printing errors or w...
