ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

With the exception of Weopon X, the Sam Kieth stuff, and there's a cool Gulacy sci-fi character in there. Occasional gems but mostly filler yeah

Those were precisely the notable exceptions I was talking about.
And the Steve Lightle covers were incredible.

"Fun" is my highest praise when I'm talking comics.

EDIT: What about Imperium and Life and Death of Toyo Harada?!?

Both of those were fun.

Found Rai tolerable but hated the other two.

Unity is a no brainer, but Armor Hunters and Harbinger Wars were both incredible. Was never really feeling The Valiant, but admittedly I was in the middle of checking out of Valiant completely when it came out.

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 so...

I checked out after Kindt, Lemire and the like took over from Venditti, Dysart, etc and I haven't read a new comic book in a few years, but I might just take a peek at this.

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

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

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...

I think he's saying 501s, as in Levis 501s.

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.

What is IDW doing? I don't really follow comics news.

Good luck, George! I have unloaded about 90% of my collection in the past few years.

I am dumbfounded as to how these numbers allow a company to stay in business. What am I missing here?

Sold!

Oh, and I'm happy to ship internationally as well, for whatever obscene rate that is these days.

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. All books were never read and are in the bags and boards they came in from Ultimate...

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.

He should have signed the pizza box “first signed copy” assuming it would have been. That first signed copy thing is maddening. If you don’t live near Southern California, you have to get real creative. I do have a card that is signed First Signed Copy, though. I managed to snag quite a few on the ...

Wow...cool! I live about 20 minutes away from the Greensboro Ssalefish. I'm all over this! I will be at the Greensboro store today, wearing a Guilford College hat Hate I missed you. My son is actually in the hospital at the moment (nothing terribly serious, but serious enough to be in the hospital)...

This is what they are doing, per my understanding.

I sent emails to a couple dealers on the group, but nobody responded. It's really frustrating trying to figure out how to get a hold of these books. Dino - any chance you can ping me with a dealer that is willing to do business?!? I ordered mine from: www.nerdstoreutah.com/ Shipping was very reason...
