Savage (2021) #1
Who doesn't love half-baked exposition, social media parody, and the promise of freakshow antagonists?

I'm surprised every time a new issue from Valiant ships since it means they haven't quietly folded up shop. At the same time, finishing this issue and rolling my eyes at the Shadowman preview's artwork made me pause to consider tapping out of Valiant completely.

Re: Savage (2021) #1
In case there is any confusion, this is 100% not the direction we had planned for the Savage sequel.
And since I'm here, I might as well pimp BAD IDEA a little

Lewis’ art is simply spectacular. Sonic Dan, any new OA available? Bad Idea can’t get here soon enough. I’m truly saddened by Valiant’s fall.
Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age!

Re: Savage (2021) #1
Oh we know full well that the car crash versions of Bloodshot, Psi Lords, XO etc we got were not the direction those characters would have went in had you still been in charge.
I can’t imagine there’s many people on this board who aren’t on board with Bad Idea! Looking forward to reading books from A list creators again

It’s almost as if there’s a double agent working within Valiant to wreck the characters...and succeeding.SwiftMann wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 11:37:35 amWho doesn't love half-baked exposition, social media parody, and the promise of freakshow antagonists?

So far all his covers have all been snatched up "in-house" fresh off the drawing board. I may have some interiors for Eniac available at some point.
Currently, the SAVE NOW 8-page story by Kindt with art by Tomas Giorello is available as a complete set (including character designs & some patch panels). PM me for details!

Re: Savage (2021) #1
Who allowed 50 different fonts to be put into the dialogue on every page? It's so messy it's impossible to read just on that level and that's not even getting to the story.
Like XO Manowar or Conan The Barbarian? Check out my new graphic novel, DEUS VULT on IndieGoGo now: Deus Vult: http://igg.me/at/deusvult.

I would rather re-read both volumes of Bad Eggs than this crap-load of a comic.
