Re: Comic Book New Year's Resolutions for 2024

My resolution is to continue paring down until I get down to 2 or 3 shortboxes. Anyone need anything? 8-)

Can you pluraize the word "Valiant" like that? Looks awkward.

Selling full runs with autographs

Hey, lads! Just soliciting some advice here. As some of you all know, I have been drastically downsizing my collection over the years. I have whittled my collection of around 12,000 comics down to just the absolute essentials. Now it's time for the essentials to go...lol. After being a comics reader...

Re: Graphic Novels vs Monthlies.

I'd be all for a graphic novel only approach. As may good memories I have to heading to the shop every Wednesday in the past, comics (at least most of them) aren't written to be enjoyed serially anymore.

Bad Idea Lot of 12 books - SOLD!

Hey, guys! Long time no see! Hate to pop on after so long to sell something, but I'm not making anything off of this, so I don't feel like as big a tool. :D I have a lot of 12 Bad Idea books that I am getting rid of.

Re: Hank Howard, Pizza Detective (Bad Idea)

I thought the Hank Howard storyvqas a complete yawn. Nothing whatsoever to grab my interest or make me me want to see more of the character.

On the other hand, the Save Now story was just the opposite. Very interesting concept and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Is Valiant still a Diamond Premier publisher? DCBS still has them on their Premier Publisher pulldown list, but when you click it it says there are no results. But you can find the titles under "Other Publishers"

But if anyone thinks it's all over for Valiant because 2020 isn't the greatest year ever, I'll point to Marvel and D.C. history. They were at low points, too. They both did " OK " in at least a few of the years that followed - even if their biggest fans walked away (or lost interest) for ...

Other. I stopped reading every Valiant title after Venditti's X-O run. I picked up most Faith-related stuff after that. I have Life and Death of Toyo Harada but have not read it yet. To me Valiant took a nosedive when Kindt and Lemire took the reins from Dysart, Venditti, Van Lente and that guy who ...
