Join the PunX crew as they stumble through the Valiant Universe, leaving a wake of chaos, property destruction, and offended readers! This issue: It's the fourth issue of PunX, and Giffen's promised us that somehow all of the disparate elements he introduced into what he laughingly calls a plot line will come together in a conclusion of cataclysmic proportions. He's told us that before, so don't hold your breath. You bought the first three—why not go for the full set?
PUNX REDUX # 1
By Keith Giffen
HE"S BAAA-AA-CKK! And this time, he's taking no prisoners. Keith Giffen is launching into his second PunX series and he's changing the whole book around with entirely new characters, as weIl as some different old Valiant characters we had lying around. b Keith, "The damn book didn't seIl Ihe first time around, so the guys at Acclaim don't care what or who I screw with next. Jurgens, your backside is mine!". PunX is the hot topic on all the webnets, and since trying to obtain back issues of the first series is like trying to find hen's teeth, be sure to reserve this latest issue with your comics supplier and find out what all the electronic buzz is about. Again, b Keith," Buy this book, or I'm liabIe to make fun of you behind your back in the next issue".
PUNX REDUX #2
By Keith Giffen
So what am I gonna say about this issue that hasn't aIready been said before? Not much, because that damn Giffen hasn't submitted any scripts, springboards, ideas for plots, nothing on this new miniseries. Nothing. Nada. Zip. And every time I call him up he says in that wild, pumped-up hysterical manner that he has (that drives me up a friggin' wall)... "Hey, this series will be the best PunX stuff yet. It'll have major Valiant superheroes in it that I'll trash beyond recognition. I'll make more fun of Massarsky, Layton and that whole group of cretins that run Acclaim, and l'll include more brand new characters, as outrageous as Wrecking Balls, in every issue. Besides, what do you care about this stuff anyways? Nobody orders enough copies of this book no matter what you say. The fans are still going to have to look long and hard for copies, and even though you're writing this in January, nobody at Acclaim will read this until the beginning of February. You got a whole month to find a new job, and I got three months before I have to start turning in pages! So quit worrying, will ya!" I could strangle him when he does this!!...and I swear, one of these days I will (when I have more time on my hands... probably in February...)
PUNX REDUX #3
By Keith Giffen & Ken Martinez
This issue Keith Giffen presents another spine-tingling episode of his latest, greatest PunX saga ever! Now with that sald, all those comic pukes with a reading level below the third grade will be incapable of reading this solicitation copy any further; so the rest of you, listen up! Buy this friggin' book! You think I like to go through this every month, typing up silly, stupid copy, staring at my computer screen and making up cool things to say about a book that Giffen hasn't even started to put together yet? You all know whatever he does will be dog-butt funny and intelligently nasty. All those geeks you see hanging out at the comic stores (that make you relieved that you're not like them) will never get the jokes 'cause Giffen's humor goes right over their friggin' heads. Besides, if I didn't have to write this stupid crap, I could be playing Crystal Quest or Seven Card Stud on my Mac right now, and everybody who wanders into my office will think l'm hard at work putting the solicitation information together for Diamond Previews. Also, if this book doesn't start selling soon, they're going to put me out to pasture and I'll be joining the ever-burgeoning ranks of the unempioyed, comic-industry professionals. I'll be right along-side all the rest of the lald-off or fired marketing screw-offs that have made this industry the shambles that it is. So, save a job...buy this book!
PUNX REDUX #4
By Keith Giffen, Ken Martinez & Anibal Rodriguez
So here it is, the last solicitation copy for this mini-series. Before we go, I'd like to thank the people that made this part of the catalog so incredibly fun and enjoyable over the last four months and hope you'll give them a big round of applause for the very fine work they've done to keep you entertained, amused and interested in purchasing copies of this publication... ME! That's right. Me. It sure wasn't that friggin' Giffen, now, was it? You think he gIves a good flying fart about wether or not you read this body copy? You bet your sweet tuchis he doesn't. But just wait 'til he gets the sales report on these issues and he sees all the royalties he wont make, THEN we'll hear from him. And speaking of royalties, why is it we copy writers don't get a royalty for helping to sell books, huh? I bet Todd McFarlane kicks back a little extra to Beau Smith when Beau's busted his hump to write about a couple issues of Spawn that don't even exist yet in Todd's toy-addled brain. C'mon Giffen, fork over some of those big bucks you're raking in, you Has-Been. Hell, I dont even get a phone call thanking me for making him sound like he works for a living. Oh, Giffen'll be singing a different tune alright when his kids come walking down to the breakfast table with the latest copy of Previews and tell him "Whattsa matter, Dad, why wasn't YOUR solicitation copy this month as cool as Jim Lee and Scott Campbell's is for Gen-13 ?". l hope he chokes on his Metamucil, the old fart.

Again, b Keith," Buy this book, or I'm liabIe to make fun of you behind your back in the next issue".
PUNX REDUX #2
By Keith Giffen
So what am I gonna say about this issue that hasn't aIready been said before? Not much, because that damn Giffen hasn't submitted any scripts, springboards, ideas for plots, nothing on this new miniseries. Nothing. Nada. Zip. And every time I call him up he says in that wild, pumped-up hysterical manner that he has (that drives me up a friggin' wall)... "Hey, this series will be the best PunX stuff yet. It'll have major Valiant superheroes in it that I'll trash beyond recognition. I'll make more fun of Massarsky, Layton and that whole group of cretins that run Acclaim, and l'll include more brand new characters, as outrageous as Wrecking Balls, in every issue. Besides, what do you care about this stuff anyways? Nobody orders enough copies of this book no matter what you say. The fans are still going to have to look long and hard for copies, and even though you're writing this in January, nobody at Acclaim will read this until the beginning of February. You got a whole month to find a new job, and I got three months before I have to start turning in pages! So quit worrying, will ya!" I could strangle him when he does this!!...and I swear, one of these days I will (when I have more time on my hands... probably in February...)
PUNX REDUX #3
By Keith Giffen & Ken Martinez
This issue Keith Giffen presents another spine-tingling episode of his latest, greatest PunX saga ever! Now with that sald, all those comic pukes with a reading level below the third grade will be incapable of reading this solicitation copy any further; so the rest of you, listen up! Buy this friggin' book! You think I like to go through this every month, typing up silly, stupid copy, staring at my computer screen and making up cool things to say about a book that Giffen hasn't even started to put together yet? You all know whatever he does will be dog-butt funny and intelligently nasty. All those geeks you see hanging out at the comic stores (that make you relieved that you're not like them) will never get the jokes 'cause Giffen's humor goes right over their friggin' heads. Besides, if I didn't have to write this stupid crap, I could be playing Crystal Quest or Seven Card Stud on my Mac right now, and everybody who wanders into my office will think l'm hard at work putting the solicitation information together for Diamond Previews. Also, if this book doesn't start selling soon, they're going to put me out to pasture and I'll be joining the ever-burgeoning ranks of the unempioyed, comic-industry professionals. I'll be right along-side all the rest of the lald-off or fired marketing screw-offs that have made this industry the shambles that it is. So, save a job...buy this book!
PUNX REDUX #4
By Keith Giffen, Ken Martinez & Anibal Rodriguez
So here it is, the last solicitation copy for this mini-series. Before we go, I'd like to thank the people that made this part of the catalog so incredibly fun and enjoyable over the last four months and hope you'll give them a big round of applause for the very fine work they've done to keep you entertained, amused and interested in purchasing copies of this publication... ME! That's right. Me. It sure wasn't that friggin' Giffen, now, was it? You think he gIves a good flying fart about wether or not you read this body copy? You bet your sweet tuchis he doesn't. But just wait 'til he gets the sales report on these issues and he sees all the royalties he wont make, THEN we'll hear from him. And speaking of royalties, why is it we copy writers don't get a royalty for helping to sell books, huh? I bet Todd McFarlane kicks back a little extra to Beau Smith when Beau's busted his hump to write about a couple issues of Spawn that don't even exist yet in Todd's toy-addled brain. C'mon Giffen, fork over some of those big bucks you're raking in, you Has-Been. Hell, I dont even get a phone call thanking me for making him sound like he works for a living. Oh, Giffen'll be singing a different tune alright when his kids come walking down to the breakfast table with the latest copy of Previews and tell him "Whattsa matter, Dad, why wasn't YOUR solicitation copy this month as cool as Jim Lee and Scott Campbell's is for Gen-13 ?". l hope he chokes on his Metamucil, the old fart.

I'd have to choose the Steel Nation 2 part tpb, as it has UNPUBLISHED MATERIAL! 
As for the second era, it's difficult. I would love to have seen what the new Dr. Mirage would have been like, and I would want to have 7-12 of Shadowman released (too bad these 6 can't be counted as one choice). As I've read the scripts for Unity 2k-and wish I hadn't, the hoar, the hoar-I think the only logical choice would be Deadside # 4, as it would complete a story.

The Steel Nation stuff would be killer to see. Since Punx 4 is being claimed destroyed by it's creator I can't hope to ever see that.
On the Acclaim side since it looks like we'll get to see the Unity 2000 books soon, I would have to go with Deadside 4 or the Mirage one shot. Deadside would finish the series and the art we've seen from the Mirage book was nice.

I wonder if the same happened to other unreleased comics.dellamorte wrote:The Steel Nation stuff would be killer to see. Since Punx 4 is being claimed destroyed by it's creator I can't hope to ever see that.
On the Acclaim side since it looks like we'll get to see the Unity 2000 books soon, I would have to go with Deadside 4 or the Mirage one shot. Deadside would finish the series and the art we've seen from the Mirage book was nice.
I'd like to make an addition and correction to the list.
The addition is the Timewalker one shot (or was it a mini series) Fall of the Time Shapers (which isn't listed on Greg's site but was listed in the Bridge to the Future fan site).
That's the VALIANT comics I'd like to see published.

Actually.... I'll be a bit different. For *VALIANT (1991-1996)*, I'll take the two unpublished Ninjak books. I really remember liking #26 and wanting to see where the story was going.
That's my point. I really liked #26. Ninjak really left me wanting more.
Great cover BTW.

For the original series list I would want the Bloodshot Annual, as that was my favorite Valiant series at the time.
As for the acclaim stuff, it's a tough call for me as I would love to read all the solicited Q & W and Shadowman vol 3 7-12, but Deadside 4 is the one book out of all I would want to read as I love Ashley Wood art.
