Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Too close to Starship Troopers. Got me there :D That would be awesome. Thanks man! No problem. Ideally the fates of many of the old Vh1 characters would be revealed, much like Rai #0. But also setting up other characters for new stories. For example, Ninjak is killed but his son, Conor King-Chan, w...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Quick example of what I'd be interested in: 12 issue maxi-series 'VALIANT Classic: Secret Weapons - The Armorines Last Stand'. 1st issue - World is recovering from Spider Alien attack that has destroyed Buenos Aires (or perhaps Mexico City :P ). X-O, Armorines, and other heroes have destroyed the i...

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe

For me, the ideal "reboot" is one that integrates all three iterations of the VALIANT Universe into one, with priority given to the VEI iteration because it is the most recent. In such a scenario, for instance, Archer's parents would be preachers that abuse children who murder Obadiah aft...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Unfortunately true. In principle it should be a big event. Agreed Sounds good, except it must not contradict that the Destroyer takes out the Spider Aliens in the future (after Solar had taken out their invasion fleet). /Magnus Well, they are spiders so a few could survive the Armorines attack, the...

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe

It seems from the solicits that the event involving Dr. Silk takes place in the present-day comics. Here are the questions; Will the outcome of the event affect the future-set comics like Rai? If so, how? Has the event already taken place from Rai's perspective, or do the present and future exist si...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Subsequent to the introduction of the Armorines, though, it might make more sense for them to be the ones that take them out once and for all. That would have been an epic story worth seeing. Like, maybe the Armorines invade the Spider Alien homeworld. By then, their number could have increased to ...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Others might. You do bring up an interesting point about the Spider Aliens. Rai #0 didn't cover how the threat they posed to Earth was neutralized. Since the Armorines didn't exist at the time, it would have fallen to X-O Manowar to take them out, but that one-shot only really showed how he died an...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Sure, but what we do know about the events chronicled in Rai #0 can inform what those futures might be. For instance, presumably Ninjak's story ends with a final battle against Dr. Silk. Maybe something like the last battle between Holmes and Moriarty even. Ok, but what in Rai 0 informs us about th...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

There's Ninjak, Timewalker, the Armorines, Doctor Mirage, the Secret Weapons (either iteration), and Turok (he had a sort of cameo from his later appearance in Secret Weapons #1, but we don't really know what happened to him). Any theories? I doubt any of the original writers had many plans past th...

Album/Video Covers

Say that Alien did a series of covers inspired by albums and/or music videos. Which VALIANT character would you connect with which band or artist?

For instance, just as a random example, Harbinger and KISS or Harbinger and The Partridge Family (the latter on account of Harada's Eggbreakers)?

I can't see YouTube, any chance of a summary or what new info was revealed?
Can't recall offhand, but I don't think it was anything overtly specific. Just overall excitement hyping the importance of the story.
