Unfortunately the multiverse is here to stay. All we can hope for is that someday they re-interpret it in a way that fits VALIANT canon, then undo it.


That's the thing about fiction being all made-up though, it can just as easily be un-made-up. Or just like 'Beyond' is ignoring all previous ...

Potentially, the most interesting thing in a hypothetical meeting between VH-1 Faith and VEI Faith would be the latter's relationship with VEI Archer, where, in contrast, VH-1 Archer married VH-1 Flamingo.


I have zero interest in the old Valiant being brought into modern day. Bring back the ...

Not every single VH-1 comic during either Shooter's or Layton's tenures was a winner, and that had nothing to do with them being consistent with what came before.


Which Shooter comic wasn’t a winner?


Early Shadowman; the book improved under Bob Hall and was an episodic 'okay' with multiple ...

How so? He is trying to outline future plans against a very uncertain backdrop for indy publishers following Diamond's demise, which must be a tricky line to walk.

They reached their goal, good for them.


It is good news for a project which has surely required massive effort to bring to fruition.

Although I never really read DEFIANT, I am backing the KS for the HC as it piqued my curiosity. :)


I'm missing two Defiant comics, Genesis I think is one ...

It's pretty ridiculous how this thread is gone... and how we let one schizophrenic person s*** on the whole thing..
the person putting on this Kickstarter right I've always said as a friend of a friend, and there's so much more to the story, because it's about future projects, which the dude said ...

When Lucy Lawless told Frink that every time he saw a mistake in Xena Warrior Princess he should pretend a "wizard did it" on The Simpsons it disheartened him because it is a cheap cop-out.

In contrast, proposing that advanced technology is responsible for the elements of the VALIANT Universe ...

And do you understand that the point of VALIANT was to lean more toward one side than the other?

It's as I've asked you before, what is it that you want to see back from VH-1, the artistic renditions of the '90s VALIANT characters or the level of writing of the Pre-Unity comics?

Unity ...

The nonsensical claims that 'VH1 was based on hard science' aside (psychic powers, immortality, power armour, and death energy etc. refute anything hard about the science - it was fantasy science), I am not really sure how they will square the circle of 'everything is canon' without either having an ...

Okay.

I'll believe it if there are other corroborating sources, until then it doesn't ring true to me, simply because it appears clear that DMG is interested in movie-level money, not small comics publisher-level money, and if they are in financial trouble, comics money won't right that ship. I say ...

Supposedly, Acclaim's biggest seller was the comic with the two guys holding each other's privates in the restroom while shouting that they were not a couple, which is how we ended up with a goat on a first-name basis with the Legion of Super-Heroes.

I recall Nicieza lamenting to Wizard ...

How ironic that the actual Rai 0 depicts the creation of Rai "the Last".


Also ironic is that Rai 0 marks the point where Valiant goes from subversive, intelligent title naming to the cringiest of all titles, Rai and the Future Force facepalm


How the configuration of that title for a book ...

Am I the only one who had 'Ship of Theseus' vibes reading the DMG are/are not Alien comments?

Or in British terms, Trigger's Broom.


Why would you? They are two distinctly separate companies formed in two different countries and owned by different people.

One just happens to license the ...

Bad news if true facepalm ….

Flamingo rises from the ashes in RESURGENCE OF THE VALIANT UNIVERSE, the can’t miss Valiant Comics crossover event arriving in comic shops September 18th.

Alien Books (and the villainous Dr. Silk) are set to dramatically break the rules of the Valiant Universe in ...

I'm not currently able to afford to buy comics. Money's been tight for a long time, and I'd rather not pirate them.


I'd like to recognise and appreciate this attitude. It never surprises me when a poster complains about the quality of the comics - even the company failing to pay their ...

Inherent in any application of 'hard science fiction' as a descriptor is that there is least rigour applied to the science fiction presented; hand-waving alien armour as able to safely compress oxygen sufficient for activity for days upon end in space or to have near-limitless energy reserves is ...

Imagine all the modern technological advancements we take for granted that people a 100 or 150 years ago would dismiss as "impossible".


They never even heard of microcircuitry.

We keep approaching these questions as in-universe scientists and you look at them as a fiction writer outside ...

My two pence worth addition to the 'VH1 was hard science' debate: psychic powers are not hard science; alien suits of figure-hugging armour with near limitless energy and oxygen reserves are not hard science; voodoo-infused superhumanity is not hard science; death energy is not hard science ...

Space Ghost #1 (Dynamite): As much as I deplore Dynamite! I had to give this a look. Thought it was a solid reimagining with good art (and covers) and planted the seeds for the rest of the story (however long that may last). Made Space Ghost pretty bad *SQUEE*. Interested to see if they’ll be ...

My suggestion for a new ending for Unity 2000 would be to focus on the Phil Seleski D'arque visits at the Edgewater reactor and Loremaster, who I'd contend could be a split of Phil given his obsession with comic books.

Even the monster they find at the heart of the multiverse could be another ...

This is the first Eternal Warrior story since Incursion in 2019. It's nice to see familiar faces that haven't been seen in years, the big problem with characters being out of circulation for this long is that they can be either stereotypical or simply out of character whenever they do resurface ...
