Re: What are your MUST-READ Valiant stories?

The 2024 line! But I am biased :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Well there’s thousands of posts on this site from people who actually buy the comics, so you can see what works and what goes down like a lead balloon. Virtually everything after Dinesh was ousted up until Alien got involved was a car crash (wi...

Re: See-Through Chromium Errors

I wonder if so many of these came out because of the extras the printer was skimming for themselves (Jim Shooter mistakenly likes to tell the story about this as "Bootleg comics" lol) or if it was just a genuine lack of quality control at the time since soo much was coming out! Chromium is...

Re: X-O Manowar Unconquered Prestige 1 Printing Error

The problem seems to be those that want freebies by becoming friendly with the people that make the comics, not that the people that make them come here. I think we, and they, can easily discern the *SQUEE* kissers from the real fans. VALIANT's main problem is that its fandom has ALWAYS been divide...

Re: Legacy Numbering

The need for #1s is because the ordering drops as series go on
You can have it labeled with legacy numbering and still have a new arc start at number 1, like Marvel just did..recently-ish. I can't remember.

Re: Value for Shadowman Deluxe Edition 1 Brand New Hardcover

So the best way to see what is currently going on for ebay is to select "sold" when you look at the item, and then you will see what is selling currently instead of just what people are asking. From there you can figure out an average

Re: Neutral Ground

There should be a place where fans can freely discuss their opinions about the comi...

New Valiant characters, or just any new characters in general?

Im intrigued by the new format. I like “floppies.” But I know they are of the past. The “prestige” format is interesting. I don’t care if a book has ads or not. If they are cheaper, that’s great. I like that they aren’t giving up on HC books. I’m interested in reading Valiant in Spanish. I am tryin...

Re: ICV2 INTERVIEW: MATIAS TIMARCHI AND DANIELLE WARD OF ALIEN BOOKS

Yea we bring the characters into this reality and then kill them for real, so we can't even publish books about them anymore. Quantum and Woody were the first to go along with all animal characters. Now I need to find Jesse, Savage, and all those secret weapons kids -

This interview literally confirms so many things I said my store told me.

I thought the Publisher was the main guy at the top who put all this stuff to print and looked at the numbers. Nahhhh he was more involved in all the departments - but he would probably (jokingly) say that's all he does, or all he is needed for. He's a really funny guy if you ever get to meet him. ...
