Re: The ‘tell Alien which Valiant book needs fixing’ poll

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 ...

Re: Future Comics - Issue List

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...

Re-Reading Future Comics - Freemind #0 and #1

Found my collection of Future Comics that somehow survived my purges. I have some big gaps though. Is there a reading order or publication order for these? Going from the cover dates, it looks like Freemind 0 was put out before 1? It's also skinnier, so it looks like it was used more as a series pre...

Re: Re:

Ok, but to what end, though? After either Maxim orJack died ridding the world of the Darque power there would be no more Shadowman, regardless of who survived. It would be like destroying the Speed Force that makes it possible for Barry, Wally, and the others to run fast. Without either of those fo...

Re: Re:

I hate to hedge, but I don't know for sure either. Like Bob, I would have, with a bit of a tear, killed Jack dead in '99 -- if I had had my way. But, I also tried to be cagey.

Re: The "end" of Shadowman

If I am correct, Bob did have plans for what would happen next and had a plan for exactly how Jack would die to save the world from the Darque power - should he get the chance to tell those stories. I really hope Dino gives him that chance! Even if it is outside of the new VALIANT continuity. I've ...

Re: Fan Fic: The VALIANT Fan Fic Association

Would Siren 3-4's Penguin sketches count as fanfic? Definitely fan art. Was there a story behind it? I don't remember He more or less made comics out of pictures. There were stories and dialogue and many of the photos were sequential. Ah I'd forgotten that. Definitely in the fan fiction canon then.

Re: Creating a VH1 reading order by release date.. whos in? Or has it been done?

I still need to clean it up a bit, but all the way through Unity is there. I think the week by week gets less important later, even Unity came out a bit out of order if you go by the weeks. Really fun to see how it builds month by month though. I will check this out. I completely understand that th...
