ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I'm curious as to whether this means Valiant's in-house publishing department is completely shutting down and all publishing is being outsourced to a 3rd party. That's certainly what it seems like. I guess if you're not making any money and someone else is willing to take on the risk, that makes se...

What if one such layer reveal resulted in Tama coming out as trans and taking on the name "Geoff McHenry" as *his* true identity? (McHenry in homage to the previous Geomancer, Kay McHenry).

I wrote that Wiki! Well, I wrote "a" Wiki. Was hired by Dinesh to do it. After it was taken down from their official site I moved it to Fandom, then later on someone from Fandom contacted me about their moving my entries to their VALIANT wiki. I know some of my content was transferred ove...

The goal would be to recapture that, but a new reboot would do more harm than good. DC has continually been rebooting their characters for the last 20 years because Dan Didio decided that replicating the 1960s was better than sticking with the Modern Age of the '80s and '90s, and that turned into a...

In the scenario I'm proposing, it wouldn't be quite as picking them up from they left off, but more as integrating them into the ongoing narrative of the VEI version. Does anyone know (or care) what the ongoing VEI narrative is at this point? I feel like it's been completely muddled by the post-Din...

That would definitely be ideal.

In the scenario I'm proposing, it wouldn't be quite as picking them up from they left off, but more as integrating them into the ongoing narrative of the VEI version. Not undo anything, not ignore anything, but integrate the pieces of the VH 1 puzzle into the VEI puzzle. Add more layers to it. Like...

What VALIANT needs moving forward is that sort of thing again, but I am not in favor of a reboot. I think that a lot of what Dinesh did worked really well, and it might be petty to toss it out to replace it with a more accurate replica of VH-1. Definitely, VH1 principles could be applied to the cha...

I think the best possible solution would be to bring in an "Evil Solar". One who has drank the comic book Kool-Aid and acts as a typical supervillain, using his abilities to alter reality on a molecular level to make things increasingly more comic booky. The first indication of this would...

It occurs to me that the best possible start for a revamp of the VALIANT Universe would be a series centered on the newest Geomancer. It could be Tama, or it could even be a VEI version of Geoff McHenry. S/he would be the eyes and ears of the audience as they embark on a journey to uncover the true ...

Let's think of the "Cosmic Cube" in X-O Manowar/Iron Man and the "Magic Ink" in Unity 2000 as the hand Solar gave Geoff in Unity. They were all extensions of himself with enough power to alter reality.

Definitely. Mulling over your question, so far I've come up with the idea that the core of the VALIANT Universe (sans Solar, Magnus, and Turok) should be the first three original VALIANT heroes, Rai Harbinger X-O Manowar. Everything should be built around them. With that in mind, the rest can be br...

Let us say that a revival of VALIANT should start with three titles centered on the first three original VALIANT heroes. X-O Manowar (present-day solo hero) Harbinger (present-day team book) Rai (future-set solo hero). From there, the line can expand with three (?) additional books every six months....

While I do think there needs to be a core to VALIANT, it might be time to infuse it with new characters. Maybe even revive some of the original ideas from VH 2. Stagnation equals death, and that's all we'll get by continuing to build VALIANT around the same 18 titles introduced in the '90s. They ne...

I'd like to see VALIANT streamline its continuity by addressing all those changes, concluding with the reveal of the one and true iterations of these characters, meaning the pre Unity ones. But without ignoring what came after. I agree with that. They need to get back to the core of characters that...

Not sure who the Loremaster was intended to be. It's too bad U2K was full of little mistakes, using the wrong Solar 1 cover twice IIRC. Also interesting that Gold Key Doctor Solar is canon as a comic book in Pre-Unity VALIANT, while the actual content of Gold Key Magnus is canon in Pre-Unity VALIAN...

VALIANT needs creatives that care so they can produce work that attracts audiences that care.
