"There’s plenty of things I don’t know but one thing I do know is the future of comics is retailers. I’m committed to comics and at some point, down the road, I’ll shave my silly retirement beard off and I’ll start again, and if you’ll have me, I’m going to be bet even harder on comics retailers again. But for right now, let me just say you’ve got a great team at Valiant in Adam, Hunter, Fred, Warren Shaynce. They don’t need me, they’ll keep the trains running if they’re allowed to. And let me just end by saying thank you. Sincerely. Thank you for embracing the Valiant dream, for supporting us and for keeping comics growing"

I hope I get to meet Dinesh one day. He seems like a genuinely good person.

Sounds like Dinesh and like someone I'd want to be friends with and read comics with.

My admiration for the man grows. It's a damnable shame that he was pushed out. And I mean that literally: shame.
Perhaps some day DMG will come to its senses and bring him back.

What a class act. Makes DMG’s decision even more crass.

Class. Out of all the *SQUEE* I should be thinking about on a daily basis, I still have at least a short thought every day about how insane and unfortunate it it that Dinesh isn't with Valiant anymore. I can't wrap my head around it.
"They'll keep the trains running [if they're allowed to]." is the part that bothers me. That decision used to be in their own hands.
