ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

'My' copy did not show up at my LCS... I also have a copy coming from DCBS but I don't know when it will show up.

Until then... I can't comment but I sure will when I am able to read this bad boy. I am VERY eager to read it as JC Vaughn has more show here.

And man, I am REALLY wanting to read it ...

My interest varies by title after what I've read up to today's releases:

Magnus: 4.5 out of 5 LOVE IT
Turok: 3.5 out of 4, like it so far but need to see more
Samson: 2.5 out of 5, could go either way
Solar: 1 out of 5, just can't get into it but never was a big Solar fan

Anyone pick this issue up yet? Thoughts/reviews?

I think the whole line is improving as it goes - I wish they were coming out faster, but I enjoyed this one.

I think Magnus has been great so far, the problem is it's the best title and it's only at 3 issues in what seems like forever.

If Magnus ...

I've been listening to every podcast. You guys do a great job even with your tangents.

I have also always been a fan of the wildcats #2 cover. It's cheezy but still cool. That is such a love/hate period of comics for me.

I'm a big Silver Surfer fan so it's even more odd that my favorite non ...

Erica Pierce's character dealt with pretty mature themes for a comic book, especially in the early 90s.

Both her own character and the disturbed relationship she had with her perpetually teenage son.

I recently read through the 7 book Nausicaa set in English from VIZ by Miyazaki...

WOW

Seriously, I'm not a big Manga reader, I always liked the film Nausicaa and thought it was easily Miyazaki's best... but the comics are just amazing.

The art is incredible, the story is amazing. The film ...

Does anyone remember what cities in North Am Magnus/Leeja lived in during Valiant and Goldkey runs?

I can't remember off the top of my head, but it seems issue one of this new Dark Horse run they are set in the Chicago area of 4000AD. Winnetka is a near north suburb (near where all the John Hughes ...

I just read Magnus One... and I thought it was INCREDIBLE. At the end I felt like I could have kept reading another dozen issues. If this stays Shooter/Reinhold I'm on board for sure, hopefully they build a strong enough base that whoever takes over after them has a great foothold too.

It feels new ...

Episode 23 is now available!

Two of us saw Watchmen, and we've got a spoiler free review of the movie, Two of us were at Wondercon, and we talk about the convention, and we discuss the world of 4001 and 4020 as it is portrayed in Magnus, Rai, and a couple other titles. Onward to the future!

You ...

last day

They are:
Bloodshot #1 Retailer Review

Shadowman #5 Retailer Review
Trinity Angels #1 Retailer Review (2 copies)

I haven ...

Turok: Son of Stone Archives Volume 1 (v. 1) (Hardcover)

Just saw this on Amazon.com :clap:

I have the Solar and Magnus Dark Horse HCs and can't wait for this. Hopefully DCBS will have a big pre-order discount.

I've thought about getting both Magnus Dark Horse hard covers before. It's like ...

Episode 21, Spotlight on Archer & Armstrong Available NOW!!

It's a new year for Only The Valiant. We play this one fast and loose for the first episode of the new year as we discuss one of Valiant's finer titles, Archer & Armstrong. In addition to our thoughts on why this series was so fantastic ...

I remember someone had the pages online for this., I am sure I had a link before my computer died Valiant Collectors society are trying to print the missing issues. ~ I wish them the best of luck :thumb:

It is Fanboy. Last I heard he was rebuffed by Random House, I think.

They are currently ...

Btw, for 50 cents, those were nice pickups :thumb:

Some on here hated this story, but I found the Magnus / X-O battle in # 3 to be pretty cool.

They weren't in great condition. No major damage, but corner edges were a little roughed up and the spine had some creases.

I'm no expert grader but I ...

Can someone fill me in on Unity 2000?

I have read all of pre Unity, about 90% of post Unity up to Chaos Effect, practically nothing after and practically no Acclaim.

Today I picked up Unity 2000 1 and 2 in a 50 cent bin out of curiosity. I haven't read them yet but I did read the editor's page in ...

I also agree with the comments about the outside talent and the treatment of the guys that had been there from the start. When they started bringing in "stars" rather than working pros like Ostrander, Vosburg, Dixon, and Perlin, they just gave up an pretense of control.


In my humble opinion ...

Great idea on the Valiant Christmas podcast.

The pre Unity Harbinger Christmas was always one of my favorites and practically could have been an episode even without the orchestrated post Unity Christmas, although a few of those stories are really good too, especially Solar like you guys said.

I ...

good responses, especially about the sales appeal. I always liked Dark Horse Presents and MCP but never really looked up the sales or popularity.

Perhaps mini series that have a finite # are the way to go. I just see something like Crossgen where every single series is ongoing as kind of ...

I was reading through the hardcovers (and then finishing out their runs up to Chaos Effect) on the three series that have been released so far.

Forgive me if this has been brought up before, but I really think for new material a single monthly (or a large quarterly) anthology is the best way for ...

I don't have time to post on here that often, but I do have about eight hours in the car every week so I really like the podcast.

The past two really would be interesting to anyone who cares about comics history, not just Valiant. Chiclo really seemed like an expert on the dead universe and then ...

I've been really busy the past few months and just picked up the podcast again at episode 13.

First off, congrats chiclo, I just got married too (why I've been so busy) and I also met my wife on myspace.

Also I kept wanting to mention Conan as a great treatment of an older property when you guys ...

Hi Everyone.
My name is Tom...I'm new here.
I collected Valiant back when the titles were first coming out.
I enjoyed Solar and remembered how excited I was to have a title where the character lives in Oklahoma.
We used to have comic book meetings and I would always promote Valiant at our ...

Episode 10 is now available.

Harbingers! This episode is all about them. We talk about the characters, the stories, and the villains. Also, some exciting Valiant news, VEI has announced the next hardcover edition, and there is a very well done Valiant story being released for free on the web at ...

Another thing to consider is that the seven issues of Archer & Armstrong being reprinted in HC pretty much tells a full story.

IIRC Shadowman #1-7 is more all over place after. especially the issues following after the Unity crossover.
Shadowman was kind of adrift for a little while, also ...
