Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

It would be cool, but it should be done with Rai #0, VH-2, and VEI in mind (i.e., the stories should be building up to something). It really would be no different from Q2. Yeah definitely same type of thing as Q2. The main difference being a commitment to a 12 issue or ongoing series. To me, a 4 is...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Regarding my idea for a 'VALIANT Classic' line that would consist of one comic per month that's set in the 90's VH1 continuity, there is a recent precedent for that idea working if you look at how IDW handled the G.I. Joe license. Most of the G.I. Joe series they produced were set in a modern, reboo...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

There's Ninjak, Timewalker, the Armorines, Doctor Mirage, the Secret Weapons (either iteration), and Turok (he had a sort of cameo from his later appearance in Secret Weapons #1, but we don't really know what happened to him). Any theories? Going back to the original question, for what Turok's woul...

:hm: Would love to see that. Could be an early Rai (or maybe a precursor, like the original Rising Spirit was going to be) depending on the year this takes place.

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Too close to Starship Troopers. Got me there :D That would be awesome. Thanks man! No problem. Ideally the fates of many of the old Vh1 characters would be revealed, much like Rai #0. But also setting up other characters for new stories. For example, Ninjak is killed but his son, Conor King-Chan, w...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Quick example of what I'd be interested in: 12 issue maxi-series 'VALIANT Classic: Secret Weapons - The Armorines Last Stand'. 1st issue - World is recovering from Spider Alien attack that has destroyed Buenos Aires (or perhaps Mexico City :P ). X-O, Armorines, and other heroes have destroyed the in...

Unfortunately true. In principle it should be a big event.

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Others might. You do bring up an interesting point about the Spider Aliens. Rai #0 didn't cover how the threat they posed to Earth was neutralized. Since the Armorines didn't exist at the time, it would have fallen to X-O Manowar to take them out, but that one-shot only really showed how he died an...

Re: VALIANT Heroes Whose Futures Were Not Shown in Rai #0

Sure, but what we do know about the events chronicled in Rai #0 can inform what those futures might be. For instance, presumably Ninjak's story ends with a final battle against Dr. Silk. Maybe something like the last battle between Holmes and Moriarty even. Ok, but what in Rai 0 informs us about th...

Re: RIP Don Perlin

As a kid I didn't think his art was 'pretty' enough. As an adult I've grown to appreciate his storytelling ability and the way he was able to draw complex scenes in a way that made them easy to read. Way ahead of most Image artists that respect. In hindsight, I think Bloodshot 1-17 hold up as among ...

Ryan Cady - The new writer of The Valiants kicking off the new Valiant Universe! I can't see YouTube, any chance of a summary or what new info was revealed? Can't recall offhand, but I don't think it was anything overtly specific. Just overall excitement hyping the importance of the story. K, thanks

Re: Magnus 1 pages on Heritage

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...
