Re: Valiant Uprising FCBD 2021
With the product that is being pumped out by so many publishers nowadays, I expect LCS's to all go out of business and comics to instead be sold in small coffee shops to yuppies who wear berets and scarves in any weather while they consume lattes by small, gentle sips. I don't know where you buy co...

Re: Valiant Uprising FCBD 2021
Uprising? Upheaving more like it facepalm Y'all probably know by now how I feel about XO. I can't read the new book, it's god awful. I can't stand that anime simple *SQUEE* costume with a codpiece. It's nothing like XO or Aric. He'd never wear anything this godawful. This is not me, the seller of co...

Getting Bad Idea books going forward from Paradise (Collector's Paradise)
To everyone here who bought the ENIAC bad idea pre-order with us (we will be contacting you individually also, but this is a public post) and everyone else here: You can get all other Bad Idea books from us, BUT because it's a lot of handling for only 2 books per month, and in hopes that you buy mor...

I highly doubt it, he's never shown to be a Valiant fan.

Re: I'm starting to think Bad Idea might actually be a terrible idea.
I SPECIFICALLY made it not about YOU by saying "some of you" so if you feel it's about you, you are projecting your own feelings not mine. And if stores around you have no clues and are not interested, it's not on Dino and Bad Idea, it's on them. Being in comic book retail for almost 30 ye...

Re: I'm starting to think Bad Idea might actually be a terrible idea.
Fun thread, specially since I am mentioned a bit. 1. Fun to be called a random guy, considering I can tell you two specific books from Valiant where I ordered 10+% of the print run (1 in every 10 comics). Oh, also one of the oldest members of this site, from WAAAAAAY before Dinesh put Valiant back t...

Re: The first BAD IDEA comic: HERO TRADE #1 by Lapham & Kindt out now.
The hurry to make movies led to the early partnership with DMG, and it was because of the movie that Valiant was able to be taken over by DMG. Things have been getting worse since the takeover. Therefore, I submit that those involved in hurrying into hollywood faster than they could afford to, basi...

Re: The first BAD IDEA comic: HERO TRADE #1 by Lapham & Kindt out now.
Let's get some late facts on this book. 1. It's an ashcan of a story that will be published in Eniac #3. It's not BAD IDEAs first comic book. 2. This was a marketing message incased in a black/white 8 page pamphlet, to get BAD IDEA beyond the "Valiant" base and to the collector market 3. T...

Re: The first BAD IDEA comic: HERO TRADE #1 by Lapham & Kindt out now.
Madness, I tell you.... Is it though? 100 stores, many of whom got this book, like they do from a bunch of other tiny creator companies, did not think much and threw it away. I bet you there is less than 50 total that are flowing around and knowing VEI / BAD IDEA collectors, NOBODY is selling once ...

At this time, I am just waiting for Bad Idea to tell me what I will get, how many and other rules. The way things are distributed, right now, I don't have a confidence that I will get what I ordered. And while I appreciate the "out of the box" marketing to make awareness of the brand high ...

Re: Barry Windsor-Smith signature on X-O Manowar # 1
I’ve never met any of the Valiant creators/artists/writers. But, hopefully he was in a rush for some reason and doesn’t act that way consistently. That does seem like a missed opportunity to interact with the fans. I could see being very quick with each person since there were so many. But, not to ...

Re: Barry Windsor-Smith signature on X-O Manowar # 1
Took me a while to remember to take this photo. It's one of my oldest Valiant things I own, box set of 4 books, signed by Barry, Shooter and Walt Simonson. I never met Shooter or Walt, I bought it signed by all three. I have other BWS signatures as I had met him at least 3 times. Obsessed. But this ...

Call the shop first. It could be they are not open or it could be that Bad Idea has not sent the info to them yet. Make a relationship with them if you can, because you will need it for every BI book. I am here if that does not work.

Do we order through the store web site or just send PayPal with a note? Either way I’m in. Apologies if this was explained somewhere ... Any chance you’ll be doing this for other Bad Ideas? So, the quick answer is no, but let me explain why. At $16, we make VERY LITTLE on this deal. This is not lik...

a. the whole industry revolves around the idea of pre-orders b. I never said they don't know the release, I said it's not my place to announce it. it's theirs and they know when to do it. I don't think Dinesh has ever missed the correct timing on announcing things. c. ok, homes :roll: :roll: :roll:

Re: BAD IDEA Eniac 1-4 Deal from Collector's Paradise (UPDATED)
That is something Bad Idea will have to disclose, I am not about to step on their marketing efforts Oh, and I don't know yet, things changed with COVID. But I know you are about to see a marketing campaign for the ages. Dont ask me how I know.
