Re: Valiant Unveils a Slate of Four All-New Series

EDIT: Oops, sorry for the doublepost. Keyword: hopefully. Finding new writers is always a roll of the dice, but the difference is that VEI struck gold with the original four, and then, while making some bad decisions along the way, ended up keeping up an extremely good track record. For every Shado...

Re: Valiant Unveils a Slate of Four All-New Series

It's sad because the hardcore fans are the only thing that has kept Valiant alive through the years. All the variant covers they put out since 2012 has been to goose the sales figures and bleed the hardest of hardcore fans of every dime. And now they're bringing in writers who have obviously never ...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

Finished the first two trades of Immortal Iron Fist (equivalent to issues 1-6, 8-14 and the first annual). I liked the art a lot, and the first six issues were pretty strong; but the second trade drug on a bit and was mostly hit or miss. There are three more trades in the series which I would read ...

I recall Stroman mostly from X-Factor, and at the time I liked his work -- but then I was a teenager and I also liked Liefeld's work back then :?

Re: "...Management Team Talks Post-Sale Changes, Future Plan

With respect to ret-conning, it's not as if Valiant hasn't ignored other things that didn't fit continuity before (for example, the first two arcs of Eternal Warrior).

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Fear of the Dark Continues in Valiant’s Shado

Speaking of the scythe do wonder if Diggle will ever go back and touch on other unresolved storylines like the soma drug, whatever happened to the Bretheren, and whatever happened to the rogue "senior" abettors that Milligan introduced.

Re: Are we in the Post-Modern Age of Comics yet?

So this is an interesting question that prompted me to do a bit of reading. According to Wikipedia (which of course could be somewhat inaccurate), the Golden Age of comics is from the late 30's to the early 50's and it's characterized by the introduction of costumed superheroes. The Silver Age then ...
