I think the Valiant news probably boosted some sales since speculators always respond to hype.
But the bigger truth is Marvel and DC are choking the market right now and everyone is suffering.
Almost everyone I know is dropping books.
Heating prices, gas prices, it all is taking a toll but following ...

Sears, Home Depot, etc. has easy to assemble plastic shelves for around twenty to thirty bucks. They will hold 750lbs and are not space limiting as the tables.

Aaron has also proved to be reliable and true to his word at MHC.
I had a problem with some Ghost Rider reprints, when I explained it he acknowledged their fault and comped me seven books without my asking.
I have not had any bad experiences with MHC or Lonestar, any problems were resolved quickly ...

I think no matter what people will complain. And that is just the state of comics today.
But if you go with a reboot, use a solid creative team, print with quality and deliver ON TIME, you will please the bulk of the fans and pick up new fans.
Picking up new fans will be the key to a Valiant ...

IMO and only IMO I cannot see anything but a fresh start working.
I admit I am a "newbie" as everything I have read I read this year, but the GK3 just played too big a role to make anything else warrant doing.
And given the level of talent available today characters like Eternal Warrior, Ninjak, Rai ...

This brings up another point about why comics are hurting right now.
At my local shop the guy once stated he bends the books so all the "fanboys" who do not subscribe get creased books. There are a group of regulars who hang out and it is not a "newbie friendly" enviorment to say the least. RPG's ...

Why are all the Comic News sites so quiet? What is going on?

All the "breaking news" The Beat and Newsarama among others on Taddaeo and now ???????? I am curious if this is all just a big work and it will turn out that the characters will have been sold into a void. I have never been a believer in "Conspiracy Theories" but Quesada has said before he wanted ...

Glad to be here! I can't wait to start with the other Valiant titles like Harbinger, Archer & Armstrong and the rest.
This has to be one of the most well thought out fan sites I have visited.
Thanks all.

Christos Gage & John Ostrander made me do it!

I picked up Christos' Deadshot mini and loved it. Having just gotten back into comics I decided to pick up the SS & Deadshot mini Ostrander did back in the 80's. I really enjoyed the writing style and started looking for other stuff John had done. DC titles, Grimjack KI, and then much to my ...

Okay, I think I follow this. Taddaeo (spelling?) is out. The guys who won have applied for trademarks? But despite all the hoopla Magnus and Solar are not included in this package? And the people who have Magnus and Solar do not really HAVE them so much as they were on loan to Valiant initially ...
