Re: Jay Jay interview and Valiant/Defiant talk
Give me the pre-Unity house style over most of that stuff any day of the week. I also think there's more art diversity in pre-Unity than we give credit to. Just look at Unity. BWS to Lapham/Mayo to Ernie Colon to John Dixon. All very different drawing and inking styles. Yet due to the stricter ...

Finally got around to watching it. Great stuff. A long career and you covered it all with good questions.
Of course, most of all, JayJay was great.

I also reacted to that. Some of these characters can not live the normal teenage life that was part of the old Harbinger stories.syzhang28 wrote: Wed Jan 22, 2025 3:15 am dude, what is happening to harbinger? who are even those characters on that cover? legit question.

Re: Bloodshot
How do you really think Bloodshot would have done had it not been for the pandemic?
Impossible to say. Depends on whether it would have reached a critical mass of an audience.
The people I saw it with all liked it and would have recommended it, but I had the feeling they were happy to have ...

Charlemagne in Latin is Carolus Magnus, though Shooter has said that the similarity between the names is just a coincidence.Ryan wrote: Charlemagne is like a modern day Magnus

Re: Could Phil Seleski, Jack Boniface, and Master Darque Have Been Harbingers?
And it was short lived, no?
Solar took it back.
Which is why he sought out Darque, who did to Bender with necromantic energy what Phil did with nuclear energy.
In both instances, it was Bender being affected by outside factors that changed him.
In essence, Solar's ability to manipulate and ...

He tricked Solar into letting part of his energy be stolen. The point being that he didn't need to be a Harbinger to manipulate energy.ManofTheAtom wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 7:56 am I forget how Bender got his powers. I've only read those issues once or twice, heh.

Re: Could Phil Seleski, Jack Boniface, and Master Darque Have Been Harbingers?
Good question. I also think that "how consistantly are things explained by in-universe logic?" is a relevant question. For both questions I believe that early VH1 manages best.Ryan wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 10:04 am To me the debate is, where do the various iterations of Valiant fall on the spectrum of 'realism'?

What if Phil had the Harbinger ability to manipulate nuclear energy?
What if Jack Boniface and Master Darque had the Harbinger ability to manipulate necromantic energy?

Re: VIP Ashcan
Wonder how many actually are on the open market? This thread says Chiclo, Brian and Southern have one each. I also have one somewhere. And one listed for sale at a crazy price.
How many more are tied up in collections of board members?
