Is NVU the new Official Title of VH3?

Post by Malev_Emperor »

Just wondering...

Have we, the Valiant Fans, yet coined the phrase for this New Valiant Universe?

Naaa Acclaim discontinued for a minute n came back with V-H-3 Books [just a few] This is a fresh start so I wouldn't want to coin it V-H-4 myself. It's more like Ultimate Valiant If Anything :thumb:

I'm pretty sure Dino said to call it "Valiant".

Well, that's just silly. I say we call it Ultraverse Wanna-Be, or UWB (Pronounces Uh-Wuh-Be). 8-)

I can certainly appreciate why Dino would call it that, but I think realistically it makes things confusing. When people have a question about the early years, Acclaim years or the new material, there needs some kind of distinction, so we know what they are referring to.

I guess.

I suppose you could delineate by referring to VH1 as "old Valiant". :?

The problem with NVU is that if for some reason in the future they reboot again, then the term "New Valiant Universe" won't make a lot of sense. If it absolutely needs a label, I don't see the point of straying from the original model and using VH4.

That's what i refered to it as (NVU) in my thread about Valiant w/o Magnus and Solar. I wasn't sure what to call it. I think Nuvu is catchier than VH4.

That's what made me realize the "new" Valiant needed a distinctive title! Also, having realized Acclaim's VH2 SUCKED almost immediately, I stopped reading about 3 or 4 months into it so I have NO idea about VH3 at all!

VH1 - Original Valiant
VH2 - Acclaim's Valiant
VH3 - ?
VH4 - New Valiant Universe

Also, the "new universe" kinda reminds me of Marvel's experiment in the 80's. Anyone remember that? Comics like Starbrand and Mark Hazard: Merc? Really crappy comics!

Them's fighting words round these parts!

I am actually blogging and doing a podcast about the original Valiant, the new Valiant, and New Universe. I never read any of them in the past, really... But their initial design concept was the world outside your window, and was designed by Shooter. Sound familiar? I am already running across a startling number of strange parallels, plus a bunch of things I think Shooter learned from in designing the original Valiant Universe.

Yes!

Like this:
Classic Valiant was '91 - '96.
Acclaim was '97 - '02.
Valiant is the new books being sold at your comic shop with "Valiant" on the cover.

Can't say that I blame you for not following Acclaim after the awful start they got off to, but some of the titles did turn around eventually (Turok and Shadowman for example).
