ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I find it ironic that the guy who is famous for getting into the comics industry at age 13 and becoming successful is calling two guys trying to become successful in the comics industry more than twice that age "children".
At less than half their age, Shooter had a heck of a lot more books under ...

I don't think the point is whether you think Shooter and Layton have done anything good lately, it's how they say VEI treated them. We've all waited a long time to get new Valiant books. Now that 2012 looks like it'll be the year, if you can turn a blind eye to how VEI has allegedly mistreated some ...

This is disappointing news. Because I pre-order and because of the delays, I've been behind on the reading, but I was hoping the best for the line.

Is Solar #10 going to be the last book?

Has anyone else received their Dark-Key FCBD project book? Now that the line is cancelled, my excitement for ...

My two copies arrived this evening.

Thanks for the replies. Guess we're all in the same boat.

My DCBS order arrived today. I received my Mighty Samson variant cover, but the signed covers show they're still being processed. I just wanted to make sure this is the same for others and there's no cause for concern.

Really? In the Dark Horse NYCC reports I read, I didn't see any mention of Shooter or the books he's working on. I remember being pretty disappointed. Unless I missed something...

The price increase was from $3.50 with 40 pages to $3.99 with the same number of pages, right? I hope the extra 49 cents (or less, if you're using a pre-order service like DCBS) isn't going to break the bank for anyone who's currently enjoying this series.

Cover is okay. I'm really looking forward to reading it though.

Also, why isn't Dark Horse releasing their advance solicitations through the normal channels this month?

Tanek Nuro

I can't help notice that 'Tanek Nuro' unscrambles into "Turok Anne".
Turok Anne? Is Shooter making Andar into a female?

You couldn't help but notice that?!
Maybe Anne's his mother. Stone usually takes all the credit.

Hmm, I had been wondering what the ratio was to regular covers vs. variants.

If you're worried about not getting one, Lone Star Comics has the Reinhold cover in stock:

I didn't know the signed Wizard was included.

I have my Magnus #1 Reinhold cover from DCBS in hand. But then, I only ordered one. Did you order multiples and not get them?

Apparently, new books are much closer than any of us thought.

People that I believe are good judges of character seem to believe that at least, so I'm pretty hopeful.

I thought I'd have something in hand last year, so there's a reason I sound skeptical. If they get books out I hope they do well ...

RE: Will VEI be competitive?

Excluding hardcovers collecting previously-published material and "sneak peaks," VEI is about as competitive at publishing new comics as VIP. I think determining cover prices at this point would be putting the cart a little ahead of the horse.

Guess I was too slow posting it in the other thread.
Is the Dan Jackson cover artist our own Daniel Jackson?

I just saw the solicitation for Mighty Samson #1 on CBR. I'm surprised this hasn't already been posted here:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28359

At first I really loved the Swanland covers but now they just seem to all look the same to me. I like the eyes in the Jackson cover.

I think the lack of updates is the most frustrating thing. As discouraged as I am by the silence, if books are eventually published, even without the Gold Key characters, I think it would be tough for me to resist at least giving them a shot if reviews are positive.

The best thing I can compare ...

I understand what you are saying we are fans, and we can be annoyingly persistent, but don't you think some of that has to do with the lack of information. I don't think he should get into a flame war here on the boards but just write something up every couple months even if nothing new has ...

4. I'm always happy to see new Shooter books and I hope the line succeeds, but as a collector, I've had other books vying for my attention and I haven't yet bought the multiples that I had hoped to when the line was first announced.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I've noticed a few other unpublished Whitman books showing up recently. It would be neat if Dark Horse could put together an entire issue of unpublished vintage Solar and release it.

I always thought the green skin was pretty cheesy.

Godzilla and the Hulk have gotten a lot of mileage out of it.

I hadn't been much of a fan of the FCBD interior previews, but the cover has me optimistic again.
