Re: Anybody have some spare FCBD issues?

I have 2 spare copies of each the handbook and regular issue. PMs inbound to both of you! :thumb: Many, many thanks Chris! You're a lifesaver. Lesson learned: next year, I'd better be there at opening. And, I'm going to gripe and gripe at my local comic shop that they had better save me the Valiant...

Re: Harbinger: Omegas, the future of the Harbinger series?

Can't we all just assume at this point that Dinesh and co. know what they are doing and won't really end the well selling and favorite titles? It's pretty obvious, at least to me, what is going on. In this market you have to get attention, sometimes with #1 issues. Armor Hunters gives VEI a natural...

Anybody have some spare FCBD issues?

I had to go to the three comic stores around Birmingham kind of late today, and none of them had the free Valiant issues anymore, and my own store did not save me one because they put all the free issues on the table! Grr! They said they'd try to locate me one. I guess it's good all the Valiant titl...

Wow, glad to see that patched up. I remember both Bob Layton and Jim Shooter stating they didn't like the new VEI. So it's good to hear Bob Layton is back on good terms with them. :thumb:

Re: VH1 Resources

My original list from glancing at the books was 300. It appears 100 is not enough- no one wants to break up the pre-Unity runs and I don't blame them. 300 that you really enjoyed? Yeah, that sounds about right. Once I include the stuff I enjoyed, like the Malev War (even though it was a little long...

Re: VEI Reading Order?

I never did get them in release order, because I only started collecting VEI about 6-8 months ago. I just read what I liked first: X-O Manowar, Harbinger, and Archer and Armstrong is what I started out with, then I read Bloodshot. I saved Shadowman, Eternal Warrior, and finally Q&W for last, sin...

Re: "You're choking under dozens of pounds of Valiant..."

I've got nothing against W. Eric Martin's comments. He covers the boardgame industry well. Just found it amusing to see the Valiant world colliding, especially when referencing a Marvel game :) Agreed...especially since, well, the quality did get to where it sucked, honestly, so I'm not surprised m...

I actually think the power sets of the Gen Zero characters are much cooler. The Telic is one of my favorite characters with Hive a close second. I'm actually pretty upset we haven't seen most of them in a while. I still miss Pulse. :cry: I'm also looking forward to seeing more of the Gen Zero kids....
