ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

Outbid again, but did come closer than usual. Final price with fees was 3120 for two pages from issue 1. Compared to some previous auctions I guess this could even be considered a good price. I wish I had picked up more pages way back when the prices were lower. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-c...

I think Unity benefitted from being the culmination of a young, developing line of comics, and one that was plotted with the Unity crossover in mind. Starting from (almost) scratch, continuity wise, fewer than 60 issues built up to a wide-ranging, eight-title crossover. That kind of planning kept l...

Holy Moses! Im a bit speechless about what Im looking at here. You must know more about timeline than nearly anyone else, no??? :o So, my thoughts were this: Has anyone ever taken the time to go panel by panel to recreate the UNITY saga to have it all in chronological order and not have panels repe...

Thanks for the bump on this :) As I was reading through my VCS UNITY book, I noticed there is a lot of overlap and bouncing back and forth.. I was wishing that I didn't have to reread those parts and could just read through in as a linear story. Any thoughts about scanning pages or panels into a fo...

Thanks very much, man! I will be inking it but I appreciate hearing that. I aim for fairly tight pencils ahead of doing inks usually. I have to say, while I personally absolutely love the Spitfire series, I'm in the minority of New U fans for that. It only lasted 13 issues before being cancelled af...

Fair warning, this is a relatively boring page as far as subject matter goes - just some dialogue scenes. I kinda wince whenever I look at some of these panels. Page 4 with Jenny Swensen and Anne Pollicino; https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240408/9294b0c0b041585f417167a6a402a995.jpg Holy crap, th...

I forgot about Paul Norris. This is one of my favorite pages in all of GK Magnus. Helped having Mike Royer (former Manning assistant) add some Manning touches to the linework as well. M28 Norris-Royer.jpg Good page. First time I read that story was on the plane back from San Diego comic con in '95....

Cool. I think the post-Manning Gold Key Magnus issues are underrated. Yeah they aren't as good as Manning but taken for what they are they're high quality and add some quirky and fun things to the world. It's too bad Bolle and Spiegle never got to do any Valiant work while they were still around. T...

Best crossover event ever in all of comics? 1. Secret Wars - the classic that started it all, huge impact still being felt today. 2. Unity - the evolution of Secret Wars, perfected it imo. Only number 2 because the cultural impact wasn't as high as SW and maybe not as accessible to a casual reader. ...

What is that? Was that original or reprint material? Reprint of a backup-story from Magnus 26. /Magnus Cool. I think the post-Manning Gold Key Magnus issues are underrated.

Christopher Priest Remembers M. D. "Doc" Bright Doc later became my co-creator for the Acclaim Comics series Quantum & Woody (1996), characters largely inspired by our actual relationship and whose pet goat, initially a castoff single-issue gag, swelled to eclipse the titular characte...

Technically OT as they don't share a story, below is (as far as I know) the "closest" Magnus and Lost in Space has been in US publishing.

I like the "idea" of these kinds of books more than I like the actual products usually. Marvel had some magic when they did the old "Strange Tales" and Tales to Astonish" type books and some of those titles were positively glorious, but they storytelling back then made it s...

I didn't get to Armour Hunters and HW1 and I know I read some of The Valiant but I don't have much memory. Would be interesting to see a poll just between those if they're considered the best VEI crossovers. Then a separate ranking between the VH1 crossovers, although I'm pretty sure the order would...

Why did I buy this?? I already bought Deniz Camps previous Bloodshot mini which was essentially a ‘baddie of the month’ mindless violence drudge. But as always a few months go by and Valiant launch a new series so I get all optimistic and order a copy …of Deniz Camp on Bloodshot. What do I get…a ba...

Great Artwork Ryan! What was your concept for XO in your pictures? His tactical camera seems to be breaking off of him (with splinters) Thanks! To me a sentient alien organic armor would be much weirder and goopier than the way it's usually portrayed in Valiant. So the camera is like an alien eyeba...

Good stuff there, Ryan! Always great to see fan passion translated into actual art & writing. :thumb: :thumb: I love doing it too - I’ve currently got a fan-fic New Universe based comic on the go… which I’ve been trying to find time to complete for the last 5 years, lol Thanks man! I'm a huge N...

My question would be, what can Alien do bring notice to VALIANT. From Saga using breastfeeding on the cover to their first issue to TidalWave making comics about certain political figures, those surely are good examples of how to rile people up to get free publicity for one's comic books, no? What ...

This is a list of the Future Comics put out by Bob Layton. Others to work on this line of comics include David Michelinie, Mike Leeke, Dick Giordano, Ron Lim and Bob Hall. I did not order these when they were released, but they are pretty good! I recommend them to any of you looking for solid stori...
