Re: A bookless week

Damn. Based on the responses here, I guess my ultimate plan, to form an angry mob and storm the VEI offices in protest, will not pan out after all. Bummer.

It's good to support the company, and it's better than you think.

A bookless week

I feel like there should never be a week without a Valiant release.
I'm sitting here thinking about what the hell i am going to do next Wednesday without my Valiant fix.

Re: XO Manowar [2017] #3 Discussion

Did anyone notice the weird water color art at the beginning? The president depicted in that portion of the book looked like Nuro in Britannia. Or Britannia ish. Could there be a connection? If you look closely, they are dressed very Roman too. These scenes seem to come from the psyche of Aric, tha...

Re: Rapture #1 Discussion

I kinda didn't love it. I'll have more later but thought the story was a bit info-dumpy and for a billing of NINJA K / SHADOWMAN ... got like 2 pages of both. When you have a meal, do you go for the main course first? Same concept. This issue is just the salad and bread of a 4 course meal. Not mean...

More on the art: How about the look of the Cadmium president's shuttle with the classic car style grill? For me, details like that really make the difference between a good issue and a great one.

Bums me out that they're taking Giorello off X-O for this next arc. I hope the quality doesn't suffer. Those first 3 issues are some of the best comics art that I've ever seen. I thought the first Arc was 5 comics long. The General arc starts with issue #4. http://www.blastr.com/2017-4-24/exclusive...

Re: Valiant High #1 Discussion

.99 cents each issue now at comiXology. Got all 3. (For the record, digital sucks)
I only read issue 1 so far, but I enjoyed it a lot. Fun little read with lots of easter eggs.
3.5/5

Re: Rapture #1 Discussion

Another great book from Kindt. I dig this odd team of Tamu, Ninjak, Shadowman, and Punk Mambo.
4.5 out of 5 "Control Your Loa" Taimo's.

P.S. Also another great podcast, guys. Softcore Jeff, you're not fooling anybody. Clearly, you are hardcore. :P

Re: XO Manowar [2017] #3 Discussion

another sketchy issue tbh, kindt is trying to cram in too much too fast and ends up not giving the big moments the gravitas they need as well as glossing over important plot points to fit his story into the page count. this series feels like a wikipedia plot synopsis of a good story rather than an ...

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT AUGUST 2017 Solicitations

In terms of monetary value, what difference does it make if a floppy is part of a mini or an ongoing?
Not sure I understand your rationale, unless you just don't buy any floppies at all.

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT AUGUST 2017 Solicitations

I'm not speaking for anybody, but as has been expressed here recently, I think some are upset about the plethora of 4-issue mini-runs. My opinion is that the mini's are obviously just a new marketing strategy that they're trying in order to give prospective fans as many new jumping-on points as poss...

Re: What's your best "dollar bin" Valiant find?

Yeah it's a silver cover. I just called it a variant because that's what I thought it was labeled in the valiant database. My bad. It looks similar to the A cover. That's probably the one I have. Probably wishful thinking. I don't want to sound like an idiot here. (Way too late for that, I know.) I ...
