Re: BS & HC: H.A.R.D. Corps #0 discussion

What if the Monk's blood was the original source of the Bloodshot healing/regeneration? When have we seen Bloodshot that wasn't based on nanites? BS #0? Hard to say. They seem to show early versions of Bloodshot with large devices attached to them similar to the original HARD Corps tech. The first ...

I do love questions like this. As a comic seller, it is interesting how this work. The best I can decide is that the "comic community" decides what is the "1st appearance" many times. For example...... What is the 1st appearance of The Walkng Dead? or Image's Nowhere Men? or Inv...

In Cambridge, UK, there are apparently "a handful" of customers who are buying all (or near) the VEI books, but that's it. There are usually one or two copies of one or two comics on the shelves, but they don't really order VEI stock for the shelves. The staff don't really know much about...

Single worst issue the company has published. You've obviously not read the second Q&W arc or that issue that came out between Shadowman #10 and #12. Yes. I have. Q&W is the worst arc. Shadowman 11 was simply a throwaway. But this? I get what the idea was. But I found it poorly executed, ru...

Re: Does Dark Horse consider this line a success?

Very good analysis, xodacia81. I must say, though, that the Doctor Solar new origin that appeared as backups in issues 5-8 of the Dark Horse Gold Key run was Shooter at the very top of his game. JC Vaughn called it the best script he's ever read. It was out of the park. I know a lot of people gave ...

Re: VALIANT MASTERS aka 90's VU HC editions discussion

Not to be a wet blanket, but... not all of the Valiant stuff needs to be reprinted. EW would be nice, but I think a volume 2 there would be a detriment. Sure, us hardcore collectors would pick them up, but the stuff immediately after issue 7 is bad news. The title went 50 issues. Bad news=4/5 of th...
