Divinity #1 1:40 Signed by VEI Staff

Looking to give my eBay listing a bit more exposure: https://www.ebay.com/itm/195643203747 As the subject line and listing describe, I acquired this book from an individual living in the Chicago area (named Adam I believe) that had performed some custom work for Dinesh/VEI. I'm not sure what the wor...

Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH

Unfortunately I missed out on this, didn't hear about it until after the Kickstarter closed. EW has always been one of my favorite characters, though I personally preferred the more wise, calm, and collected VH1 version to the somewhat dumb hot head of VEI. Having backed several kickstarter projects...

Re: Dino Looking to Buy Back Valiant? (Bleeding Cool)

This isn't a criticism per se as we don't know at this point where things would have gone under Dinesh, but the problem with VEI was after essentially re-telling the original Valiant origin stories with some twists there needed to be more original works. Harbinger Wars was good, I loved Divinity and...

Re: Dino Looking to Buy Back Valiant? (Bleeding Cool)

Did anything ever develop from this? I know there are people on this site that were/are quite close to Dinesh, so just wondering if the tweet was just a tease or if there was actually something in the works As to whether Dinesh buying Valiant back is a good idea.... Can Valiant be salvaged at this p...

Re: *Counterfeit Valiant Update- Midnight, On Earth w/ Jim Shooter Ep 89 - NEW EPISODE

I guess I just don't understand the point of any of this thread... To start, variation in color (especially shades of blue and purple) was extremely common from the 60's to the 90's. Not as much anymore. So aside from Shooter, the sole supporting "evidence" is color variation. Now I'm not ...

greg, there are holes in your story. Last year it was all up in the air.

Re: Harbinger #1 (2021)

That's fair, but there's also been politics from an early time period. I mean, you had captain America beating up Hitler on the cover of early cap comics. That could be argued is left wing. And the precursor to comics were things like weird tales (might be off on the name), where HP Lovecraft got hi...

Re: Harbinger #1 (2021)

Not reading it because you don't like the hype or description pre-release is understandable. But now that it is out, commenting on what it IS without even cracking it open is just perpetuating your own politics and has nothing to do with a published issue review thread. I think I will buy the first...

Re: There’s a new Archer & Armstrong series…does anyone care?

A&A is ok, good for a laugh, but I feel like they are better supporting characters than major players in VEI. The last series that I was actually excited about was Eternity. The Incursion books held my interest and were good. And I do enjoy all the Doctor Mirage series so far. The new Shadowman ...

Re: Are the Valiant Movies Dead?

Doctor Mirage wasn’t real, it never was. That was used to find a leak at VEI at the time. Who was telling “media” stuff like this was and is still a thing. Harbinger has a script and is now at Paramount and they have a modest budget of like $50 Million. It’s not connected to BS now and is really a ...

Are the Valiant Movies Dead?

I took quite a bit of time off from Valiant when my daughter was born 3.5 years ago, and just starting to catch up again. At that time, there was so much talk about movies, TV shows, stuff in the works, etc. Bloodshot would come first, followed by Harbingers, leading up to a Harbinger Wars movie. Th...

Hi All, Looking to sell off a couple of my CGC 9.8 issues. Still love these books, but my daughter has been sick a lot the first year of her life, and better off putting the money from selling these towards her medical bills instead of sitting on a shelf in my game room. I may be willing to negotiat...

Why is everyone saying this changed from the original reveal? What's the source of this information?

My only quirk with the whole thing.....another Necromancer...

Re: Shadowman [2018] #8 Discussion

Little slow going, but a solid entry and good to see this series back on track. Overall, I think this is one of the better Shadowman series ever put out and one of the gems in the Valiant library currently for the books being printed.
