Finished reading all Dark Key and Dyna-Key issues.

Read and reviewed so you don't have to read it at all. I put a comparison blog together - and finally have finished reading and linked up to all/most issues and reviews. I know I have some errors somewhere in there - but it is at least done-ish. http://www.valiantnewuniverse.com/new-gold-key-blog.ht...

Re: Eternal Warrior series schizophrenia

Knew about the six solicit - not the seven. Time to upgrade the old website. http://www.valiantnewuniverse.com/eternal-warrior-71.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Reminds me of the few changes on the original 8-bit cover. http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3242397/valiant...

Re: Gold Key: Alliance Dynamite (sucks!) Reboot

So - just read issue 1. Got them all cheaply. Supporting LCS. Didn't even know they were publishing until it was done.

Will update and write reviews. Really. On my website as I get there.

Re: I've started re-reading the Defiant Universe

Getting around to finishing my read of Dark Key and Dynamite Gold Key (finally!) and then plan on catching up on Valiant now - and then back over to Defiant.

Finished collecting all (except Broadway) and plan on reading at some time.

Then will see about what's next. Anyone else reading this again?

Re: New Universe and Defiant slabs

Funny how ALL of the Dark Key covers were so great.

The stories were somewhere between painful - and really bad.

But that preview issue may have been the best of the bunch. Certainly is the best of the Magnus stories.

Re: The never-ending first appearance debate...

Crazy/funny.

I bought my Hulk 180 for $4. Probably VF+

The 181 cover is WAY better.

And I don't own one.

Out of the loop.

Never mind. Searched and found.

Re: TWO UNPUBLISHED 'CLASSIC' QUANTUM AND WOODY EPISODES?

No I haven't read Klang. Are the extras in Klang collected in the Omnibus? I haven't read the Omnibus. But from what I have heard - some of the mess involved in the whole writing in Q and W included a few classic media characters. Solar, I think. Magnus - I don't remember. But the scripts were in K...

Re: I'm cursed

I have found luck in befriending locals with storage. Came across some rarer books that were almost given away to me. From storage.

Look for an LCS that has tons of books - but few people interested in alternative stuff.

I still think that VEI could buy them - just to re-integrate. The price would have to be right. Every time it gets launched and failed, the value goes down a bit.

Re: Does anybody want the Gold Key trinity back anymore

I actually had a talk with Atom! (my lone Valiant encounter) and he gave a clear response. He said, "Valiant would have them back if they could own them. Dinesh has made no secret about the fact that Solar was his favorite character.

Not saying I am pining - or even hoping.

But it could happen.
