Re: Alien sales

You're just an abnoxious idiot who is 1 for 5. And when you get caught out on how rude and idiotic you are, you play the victim. Why don't you *SQUEE* off and remove yourself from this forum.

To be fair, if we demanded that users have at least 20% worthwhile posts, then this place would be even more dead than it is already.

Even with variants, I don’t think there are 400 different X-O issues in the world outside my window.

Re: Legacy Numbering

The numbers for Action and Detective leave 5% of the run that was skipped over, rather than an estimated 60%+ of the run of X-O (haven't run the exact numbers, the 150 issues is an estimate, 68 + 50 + a few minis, Yearbook, VH2, etc) spread across many volumes and two to four publishers.

Re: Legacy Numbering

I despise legacy numbering, it's what makes impossible to keep track of titles, in any format print or digital, single issue, trades, and hardcovers. It can be preferable to multiple volumes, though. How many number ones does a character need? I agree, except in the case of reboots that are in a ne...

Re: Legacy Numbering

How do you get to 400 issues of X-O Manowar? A bunch of bad assumptions. 400 months is equal to 33 years, 4 months. It would be a pretty big deal for a comic to be consistently printed for 400 months. Several indy books have made a big deal about hitting 300 - Cerebus, Spawn, Gold Digger. I’d think...

Re: Lightning Pledge

According to my first pass at a checklist, Bloodfire was their longest running title at 12 issues. They had more nude variant covers than they had second issues of a title.

Re: VEI era hardcovers that never were - what would you want to see?

I'd like to see all of VALIANT, VH 2, and VEI collected in a robust catalog of hardcovers and softcovers, like DC and Marvel has. If VEI/Alien has the reprint rights to Solar, Magnus, and Turok (which we can conclude from the Valiant Classic Collection: Archer and Armstrong Revival Paperback coming...

Re: Alien Books: "I told you"

This thread has got me to wondering - what did syzhang tell us and how accurate was it? Looking back at his posts, this whole affair seems to have begun in early August with this thread: http://valiantfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1119537#p1119537 Wherein syzhang says that he heard a rumour that Al...

For a start they could catch up with the Deluxe HCs by making: 1) Bloodshot Rising Spirits 1-8 2) Eternal Warrior (2013-2014) 1-8 3) Faith and the Future Force (2017) 1-4, Faith Ongoing #9-12, Faith Dreamside 1-4 and Faith's Wonderland Special #1 4) Generation Zero 1-9 5) Harbinger Renegade 1-8 6) ...

Re: I miss Turok

I think that Turok would make for a fun action movie as well. Relaunch a tie-in video game to coincide with the movie. There was a pretty decent animated movie released 2007/8-ish. Thanks. I was not aware of that. Now I'm off to tracking that down! Totally, I got the dvd at the time it came out. No...
