ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I just placed my pre-order with Amazon. Guess I have a good warehouse because every order I've ever gotten from Amazon has been perfect. Feel bad for others who had bad experience with Amazon. Even if I had great experiences with Amazon's shipping (for the most part, it's been alright), I don't buy...

99% of the time, I am with you. A lot of artists have opinions, and I will always try to let their work stand on their own. Miller, Moore, Card, etc.... But we have a confluence of things with Kot that puts him in the 1% for me: - Clearly thinks the American military is a evil terrorist force. No m...

Knowing the history of the African races in "civilized" countries of the 20th century, it does not surprise me at all that Russia would be worried about losing their "best and brightest" to a space program that might fail, unless he was an "outsider" that didn't belong...

Interesting find, cannot imagine it is a coincidence. As posted in the other thread, tge USSR actively recruited talented black americans (due to the oppression they faced at home). Not sure why some would thinknits impossible that one of those talented black folks would be one of their cosmonauts....

I sometimes look at mycomicshop.com for somewhat of a gauge on comic values....Hype on old Valiant is definitely there. Eternal Warrior #4, Rai #0, and Solar #3 are fairly high-priced. Those 3 issues weren't that high until the recent movie hype. I bought Rai #0 close to cover price 2-3 years ago, a...

Great issue, so much fun, yadda yadda yadda. Am I the only one that reads this and infers that Neela, in her attempts to save her father, actually caused the four-car pile up that put him in the hospital? If they are still following Stephen Hawking's theory of time travel, then the only thing you c...

VEI hasn't done a hardcover for anything less than 15 or so issues, right? Only ongoings* so far, I believe.

*Ongoing at the time

They'd probably do a hardcover after a second Dr Mirage mini-series eventually comes out.

A noble venture, jmatt. I plan to do the same with Rai, as well as Imperium & Ivar, as I haven't enjoyed Valiant this much since the line first came back with the early arcs of X-O, Archer & Armstrong, Bloodshot, and Harbinger (also Harbinger Wars and a select few issues of Shadowman). I'm d...

My LCS crew said "so they sold? Didn't they learn from the last time with Acclaim?" To which I said "new group of people. Different circumstances. Not a full on sale of IP" That's the equivalent to saying Marvel "sold" when they did the movie deals for X-Men & Spid...

Any Grant Morrison fans in da haus? Anyone reading his new series, Nameless? I'm really liking it so far, two issues in. Good to hear on Nameless. I'm trade-waiting that one, as well as Annihilator. I have been reading Multiversity which has been pretty good, overall. No spoilers, but Nameless is k...

I think it would be great if the GK3 appear. Magnus & Turok could easily fit in the Rai storyline As for Solar, Divinity being around could make Solar repetitive, but similar power-sets aren't a true indicator of what quality writers could accomplish. There are so many variables to consider with...

Enjoyable one shot issue, which kept me interested throughout. I took Ninjak's mood to be one of missing the adrenaline rush that comes with Unity missions rather missing the other members per se? Slight gripe about Ninjak being a rich fella surrounded by business advisors, seemed a bit cliche. I t...

been catching up on Suicide Squad because of the movie announcement. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k4/greyshirt2/Comics/DC/rickflagsuicidesquad_zps9503d8ea.png Ostrander really had something there. A very underrated series back when it was released, and it was ahead of its time. An ethnically d...

i'm reading through annihilation right now on marvel unlimited. has anyone here read it? does it get better? i've read the prelude, nova 1-4 and the first issue of the ronan tie in. Some people seemed to like the build-up to Annihilation (those minis you mentioned, which comprise of books 1 & 2...

Nobody prefers a big-ass thick, heavy, unwieldy book just for the extra page-count. It's the oversized art that makes it preferable to a smaller collection. The page-count is why I'll be buying this book. So you'd rather hold up one huge omnibus than have 3 manageable Valiant Masters? That makes no...

LoEG -- Moore I really liked the first story arc. It is that second one with Mr. Hyde raping the Invisible Man that really turned me off to this material. I have an entirely different perspective on that Hyde/Invisible Man scene, good sir. I once lent LoEG 2 to an esteemed colleague, and I wholehea...

Never used Cheap Graphic Novels, but I may check them out now.

They go down to 50% off for a lot of books the first week said books are released.

Balloon"lying" to the kid was awesomely done. Beautiful last page. Definitely - that completely took me by surprise. No idea that character would even be important let alone sinister. I love this book! +1 And it's a *SQUEE* techno-ball thingy!!!! :lol: How awesome and weird is that?! I al...

Top notch comics I bought from the past couple weeks are East of West #15, Lazarus #11, Velvet #7, and The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage #1.....All 4 were excellent, with East of West, in particular, blowing me away like usual. Sidekick #8 wasn't bad. Sidekick is an alright title from Image. It's noth...

First a confession- I have never read a Marvel comic book in my life and the Marvel Previews usually goes straight into the recycling pile. facepalm Having said that, I really enjoyed the Guardians of the Galaxy movie and for the most part, all the Marvel movies that have been released. If a person...

In my opinion, the best of cosmic Marvel, especially in recent years, are these: Annihilation Book 3 Annihilation Conquest Nova vol. 4 When it comes to Annihilation Conquest, I actually preferred reading the prologue one-shot, skip issues 1-5 and read the Nova tie-ins, then Annihilation Conquest #6....

I gave Pak's run on Eternal Warrior a 5-6 issue chance. I found it to be average, at best.

Although I have trepidations with this upcoming mini, I'll give it a shot, especially with Nord's artwork. Here's to hoping it's one of Milligan's better works!
