Draco, you have a problem.

You used to tell yourself "At least I don't collect Triumphant". Now look at you.

I'm pretty close to the full line myself. :thumb:

I don't think the writing on these is too bad, in fact, it's pretty good. I read a few issues of the Chromium Man, and it was a pretty good original concept.

It's just the artwork looks like crap, which kind of spoils it.

I need to sit down and figure out if I've got this full checklist. I'm close.

Once I have this full set, I'll read it. I think of it as Knightt-style.

I remember when I saw ads for Triumphant in Wizard. And thought it had to be the bottom of the barrel of that era. Well last year I had won on ebay and random lot of 100 comics. And in there was an almost complete run of Chromium Man. So I read it,and besides the art not being that great it had a good story. So I have been slowly getting more of teh series. Picked up about 4 issues of Scavengers this year at a con. And again it is well written but the artwork is pretty bad.

I used to joke about this publisher being truly awful, but the joke is on me, as they werent nearly as bad a s it thought they were. In fact artwork aside they are actually well put together.

If you like the poster art, why not? Then you can collect them all again.

Having started reading Dr Chaos - I think they ARE that bad; maybe the line has some variation in qualities?

I've been impressed with what I have read from Triumphant comics so far. Granted not many titles/issues but the writing MORE than made up for the catastrophic failure in the art department. :thumb:

Odd question here: If anyone has these issues, could you tell me the GYC date on the cover?

Chromium Man #1
Riot Gear #0 (Does this book even exist? Never seen a cover scan of it)
Scavengers #12 (Again, has anyone actually seen this? I know it was solicited, but...)

Thanks!

I just got a bunch more of these. I'm close to having a reading set of some of the series. I'm weirdly looking forward to it!

When I was young and stupid and thought the idea of serial numbered comics was a neat idea, I thought these were a great find:

That's pretty cool. I bought a large lot of Triumphant comics on eBay one time (75 or more) and even though there were lots and lots of doubles, there were several consecutive doubles and triples on the serial numbers. I think there was even a consecutive hextuple.

I just read my few Triumphant issues and posted commentary on Twitter using #TriumphantReread, if anyone's interested.

Nice to see these books getting some love. Not too long ago, I sat down to begin reading the entire line. The reading is really pretty enjoyable ! But as with just about everything... life got in the way and the books remain unread. But maybe, maybe if I cut my workout a bit short, hurry my Honey-Do list, and stay up an hour later, I might be able to squeeze this Dead Universe back into the world of the living.

Maybe.
