Black hole edition-- it sucks away all the light wherever you are to form the cover around you.

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation
Prediction: No matter what it is, there will be pretty good proof that someone else did it first.
Not only that, it's entirely possible that the Simpsons (comics) did it first.

Someone on FB mentioned an old blood cover, where you would like rub it or something and it would look like it would bleed. That would be cool haha.

Maybe they're going to print their stock on the cover. Trying to stay afloat $2 at a time.

At least they are trying to do something innovative in the comic realm. I guess we will see what that is Friday.

Lol, this reminded me of the marketing campaign for the Super Nintendo Game "Earthbound" where it had scratch and sniff stickers that smelled awful, and the marketing slogan "this game stinks"sonicdan wrote:Scratch and Sniff?
If they did something similar, I think I'd bust a gut laughing...Not to mention it would be strangely appropriate given DMGs current predicament

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation (Glass)
I'm kinda meh about the whole thing, because I'm sure as heck not shelling out $300 or more for any of these special covers. I've just now started getting into old school Valiant Gold books, let alone new ready made rarities.

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation (Glass)
Maybe I will get one for Shadowman, but not super interested. I'm more interested in that Livewire ongoing and away to get that VU art as a poster haha.

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation (Glass)
Definitely like metal more than glass. Anyway, maybe it will wow me.
Super looking forward to the Harada title. And super curious about Incursion.
Dreamside. Meh.
Bloodshot. Mild interest.
Livewire. Yes, please!

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation (Glass)
I'm a little confused, are X-O, Shadowman, and NinjaK continuing after HW2? They seem consistently absent from all the hype now.

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation (Glass)
I guess I see this as the "glass" half full. The "glass covers" are a way cooler announcement than I was expecting. I find it a pleasant surprise and in line with the other "firsts for covers" that Valiant has done in the past (QR, Metal, most Variant). Seems cool to me.
The artwork looks great as well in the article. Kodos.

Re: Valiant to Reveal a New Variant Cover Innovation (Glass)
Yes, they're all continuing. X-O's next arc features characters from Eternity coming to earth. Art is by Juan Jose Ryp.Ryan wrote:I'm a little confused, are X-O, Shadowman, and NinjaK continuing after HW2? They seem consistently absent from all the hype now.
The next Ninja-K arc has Ninjak trying to save Gilad. Art is by Roberto De La Torre.
Shadowman was originally announced as at least a two year run, I believe. The next couple issue are by Renato Guedes.
