You also have the Bloodshot Platinum #0 error and that is about 25 issues if I remember correctly?

Does anyone know the Magnus #57 corrected to error numbers?

All copies printed for Magnus #57 were error copies.
When they corrected the error, they reprinted all copies again.

So, there are about 27,500 errors and about 27,500 corrected.

The pages are bound in the book out of order.

You can sort the price guide by print runs...
That should help make a handy list...

Almost the whole era is rare compared to printruns of pre-unity and the VH1 last issues. If VH2/VH3 ever catch on.... look out!
Luckily I got a shadowman vol3. #2 Variant already.

Shadowman 37 and Bloodshot 29 are from the same month...
Maybe the shop(s) around you had some problems that month.
Acclaim may have just "taken over" at that point because the logos
changed the very next month (from the Valiant "compass" to the big "V").

thanks for going to the trouble of looking that up for me greg-or for simply sharing the info if you had it memorized :P that is an interesting point that i had not considered...

of course, i've collected valiant in 4 different states, but the majority has been here. yeah, actually i wasn't looking for those later issues much til i got here. that probably has something to do with it!

That's funny, man. So, I assume Geomancer wasn't the best title out there...

I wouldn't say that, it certainly wasn't the greatest book but it had a couple of things going for it.

1. Beautiful art by Rags

2. A glimpse into the lives of the past geomancers

3. No more listening to Geoff wine like a six year old girl with a skinned knee every time something happened.
