ETERNAL WARRIOR #5 - Signed by Kevin VanHook

55 copies of Eternal Warrior #5 have been signed by Kevin VanHook
to commemorate the 5th anniversary of VALIANTCOMICS.com,
ready to ...

VH 2 Magnus is a perfect example of everything that was wrong with VH 2, specially the issue with Bull Magnus, Alien Magnus, Virus Magnus, and Sister Magnus.

This issue alone is a great example of how Nicieza was turning VALIANT into a lame copy of DC, as well as a perfect guide on how NOT to ...

what is this love affair you have with valiant?

Thanks for the nice words. Like you said. That's love that it is. I really enjoy the Valiant stories, and how they all come together. And there's always more to discover. Plus, I love to analyse things. I'd say these kind of questions show a love ...

All pure Russ I think. A great issue which I was lucky enough to pick up in original (at some cost for VFN+ of course).

Quick question. Was the Visitor really Peter Stanchek? I cant remember what his deal was.

Thanx!

I was disappointed when I found out that he was Stanchek. It would have been much cooler if he really was from another planet (or dimension). Further stories could have featured his place of origin ...

It looks like Dan has a pretty complete run of Future Comics. There's a variant cover for Metallix #1, as well.

Yes, I got that variant and also a variant cover for Freemind #1. I walked into my LCS and the guy ...

Valiant succeeded largely because it built on the Gold Key foundations. It seems from previous topics that Magnus (the central V/GK character) is taken and we will see more original Magnus soon (great news).

How about bringing in some Gold Key that Valiant didn't buy? There is Mighty Samson, an ...

Yes, I would to see that too. There is one big problem. Although the Metal Men have robot bodies, they have human brains stored in Dr Will Magnus' base.

Well, actually, the Metal Men's brain patters live within the Responsometers which are stored within their robotic bodies.

They could ...

Magnus vs the Metal Men would be awesome!

Yes, I would to see that too. There is one big problem. Although the Metal Men have robot bodies, they have human brains stored in Dr Will Magnus' base.

So, if the Metal Men travelled to 4000AD their brains would not communicate with their bodies ...

[quote="BloodOfHeroes Archie published The Comet under the Mighty Comics imprint by the way, which is now owned by DC.

Not to quibble, but DC licensed them for their !mpact line. Archie still owns the rights and the Mighty characters have popped up a few times since the !mpact experiment folded ...

I never really got into the valiant universe when i really got into comics and I'm a refugee from the crossgen universe I was wondering were the gold key issues of turok and solar ect considered part of valiant continuity?
As Greg said, Magnus Gold Key is part of Valiant continuity, Dr. Solar is ...

Solar, Captain Atom, Phoenix (Jean Grey)

BoH

This is the one (although perhaps the Silver Surfer would be more iconic than Jean).

Magnus: Robot Fighter (Vh1) stood out from other comics because the focus and environment kept changing, and so did Magnus. So, adding the Gold Key and Vh2 series to the list, which were your top three favorite Magnus periods, and why?

1. Gold Key/Manning Era
2. Early Vh1 Era
3. Malev War Era
4 ...

Magnus and Metal Men would have been nice. There is a problem though. Even if the Metal Men had used say Rip Hunter's time machine, their human minds would have been left behind in the 20th century. Anyone got a spare tachyon transponder?

True, but the story I remember concerned a whole city which had declared itself independent. It had escaped the Malev war. That's all I remember.

Ah yes, Rai 33.

/Magnus
You are right, and so was Ryan. I just reread Rai#33. The city is called Magellan. Issue #33 was the last Rai, but the ...

I may be wrong, but didn't the original Rai's son (the one who turned evil and wore the X-0 Commando armor) have his robot factory underwater? It's in post-Birthquake Magnus

My S.O. has a large collection of Tintin and Blueberry (all in french) of her own. I introduced her to US comics via the Watchmen. She read every issue and was impressed.
She didn't really get into Valiant, but she bought me Magnus #1 as a present back in the early nineties when it cost £20 ($40) in ...

My bro just came back from Vegas and he brought me a very fine copy of Doctor Solar #7 (Gold Key series).

The first story deals with an underwater city (something which could have been cool at VALIANT) and the second one deals with a meteor (very standard Superman-esque plot).


A very nice issue ...

An excellent site, MOTA. Perhaps you should ask Greg to give it a link on the main page.
I am still reading, but I loved what you did with the 'Silver Age' series. Please remind me which Magnus issue Dr. Tempus first appeared in.
If only you could get the rights and ...

Nope, I passed. I already have it and I just can't see spending that much on a book I already have.

I bought Magnus #0 here in the UK recently (my only one) for roughly the same price when converted to dollars. I was well pleased and thought that I had been undercharged. The dealer even reduced ...

I'm fairly confident that Gold Key did publish a Turok digest. I'll have to look over my collection tonight and check. I believe I have a copy of that digest. If I find it, I'll try to post a scan of the cover.

I don't believe they published digests of either Doctor Solar or Magnus, though.

Steve ...

Gold Key produced a number of paperback sized 'digests'. Does anybody know if there were any for Magnus, Solar or Turok?

Having two 'out of the United States' collectors here, let me ask you a question. How difficult is it to get Valiant books in your countries AND do you have any idea of how large the Valiant fan base is in your countries ?

Thanks,
Chris
Easyish to get regular Valiants, very hard to get variants ...

the Captain Johnner compilation

Which one? To be precise: The same compilation was released twice.


I forgot to answer this in my last message. I have the #1. It cost me £5 (nearly $10) at a comicmart. Apparently the #2 is identical inside.Gold Key is much more expensive here (UK) than the ...

five Lost In Space and almost a full run of Mighty Samson. These latter two series are not Valiant related, but have great artwork and stories.

Must agree. One Valiant connection - I have a Lost ...
