As far issue #3 vs issue #2 being the “1st appearance” of Chainsaw, as is always the case and typically debated with extreme passion (ASM #300 vs #298/299; HULK #181 vs #180; Spawn #1 vs Malibu’s Sun, etc.). Obviously Chainsaw made a cameo appearance at the end of #2 (no debate there). However, iss...

There is a long history of this happening in comics. A first cameo is fun (when you don't know it!) like Boniface in XO 4 or Darksied in Jimmy Ohlson. X Factor 23 is another example I use all the time. Archangel is named and shown in several panels, but 24 is always noted as first full appearance. ...

It seemed totally out of character for Sandria, so I assumed it was Master Darque taking Sandria's form. :hm: That or, how I read it was, she was being harsh cause she had to be. She could tell that he needed to move on to keep the blood line going so Jack could be a thing, so she's being mean in o...

I'm seeing a lot of claims lately that Chainsaw first appeared in Bloodshot #3 Vol 2 both on boards and eBay listings However, having recently re-read that series, I thought Chainsaw first appeared in Bloodshot #2 vol 2. They are mentioned in #2 as well as show up on the last page. I guess you coul...

This could be a Hulk #180 vs #181 type of an issue. Sure, they get a cameo in the last pages, but aren't they highlighted on the cover of #3? Their first full appearance as well? I guess it will depend on which is the more desirable, #2 or #3. I'm thinking #3 might be the more, simple based on the ...

Can someone point me to the news that DMG is inevitably going to sell Valiant, or that they are going to merge? I've seen a lot of business talk but i'd love to read where you're all getting this information from. Or is it just speculation? Looking at the long term trend in their share price, it lo...

OK, but you seemed to imply that the $1.5B market cap doesn't represent the value of the assets and cash, and I don't think it's possible for the market cap to ever be lower than assets plus cash... because the market isn't going to allow that. :D Well I think it could happen, but not sure how real...

What is the CGC Registry? Never really understood what this was. Is this all the comics you've submitted for CGC grading? Or is it basically a tracker of all comics you own that you can submit? I want to say my total Valiant collection at this point is around 700 comics, but I haven't registered an...

Right, but if you could purchase DMG and all of its assets for $1.5B, how could there be significant cash and other assets not included in the $1.5B price? Sorry, let me re-phrase, you would not technically be buying Valiant, but it's stock. But each share of stock is ownership in the company. So i...

It went down another 10% today. Standing at 5.79 CNY, which is $.86 USD. Still, a market cap of $10B. Is that right, or is it 10billion CNY? 10.25B CNY, or about $1.5B USD. Likely soon to be a lot less;) Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just market cap on stock value. I don't believe it reflects...

Well said. Dinesh was valiant. DMG is not concerned with producing super comics. They are money hounds. Valiant the company died with Dinesh. So call valiant what it is. DMG. The only thing that is Valiant are the characters. If bleeding cool is reading this. Dmg should make an announcment they sho...

Apparently there's also an article on the front of MSN.com website today about this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/whats-hot/hollywood-is-finally-getting-its-first-plus-size-superheroine/ar-AAzllp9?li=BBnbcA0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I did have to laugh though ...

Scratch and Sniff? Lol, this reminded me of the marketing campaign for the Super Nintendo Game "Earthbound" where it had scratch and sniff stickers that smelled awful, and the marketing slogan "this game stinks" If they did something similar, I think I'd bust a gut laughing...No...

I love the beautiful art they have on many of these, but every book doesnt need a 1:50. I'd rather they save 1:50 and other high variants for special books, like number 1s, important events, or first appearances of some new character.....at least those are the only ones I snag up

Not that Disney and DMG are even in the same ball park, but it's worth mentioning that despite owning Star Wars AND Marvel, and numerous block buster movies over the last 5 years, Disney stock also has not been doing great. It's been ping-ponging between $95/share and $110/share for a year now...Muc...

Maybe now is a good time to buy. :hm: Well, if all these movies and TV shows are really happening, it possibly is. Also, if you think DMG really does intend to market Valiant high and then sell for a nice profit (my personal belief), than there potentially is a nice profit to be made here. I'd cons...

You're right about NDAs, and I think at this point everyone knows there's always two sides to every story. There's the truth, and there's the official statement. betterthanezra, and Paradise know the "truth", because they personally know the people involved on the Valiant end of things. A...

Speaking of legacies & origins, one thing I miss from VH1 Valiant in the VEI universe is "THE" origin story. One of the coolest stories in pre-unity Valiant that started in Solar #1 and finished in Solar #10 was the origin of the Valiant universe. It was subtle and not exactly explicit...

I'm a bit curious to see if Quantum & Woody #1 and #3 (1997 run) see some movement now that DMG re-upped talks of a TV show coming to TBS. while not my favorite Valiant, I really enjoyed this series, and with the constant bouncing between current events and throwback stories in the comic, it fit...

Dinesh is loved here for a lots of reasons. He did what everyone said couldn't be done with Valiant and he made it look easy. There was no contract that allowed DMG to push Dinesh out. Dinesh did not fail in a deal with DMG. The 2012 Valiant team built a successful company that had movie deals, lic...
