Congrats! I was pleased to see a letters page in this issue.
I was wondering if any of the printed ones were from board members.
Nicely composed!

Now I really need to get it (Solar #2).

Cool.

Haven't seen the book yet, but letter pages in general are something I have really missed from the majority of comics the last few years. :(

To me, that smacks of Classic Jim Shooter, I think he really embraces and Loves fan involvement/interaction.

That was one of thie things I enjoyed so much about TOV.

Wish Shooter would write a column as he did in the early Valiant days

I agree completely...

as long as none of them ever start with the words : "a fan called in the other day..."

course, he didn't write that one...

...which was a super surprise for sure, since I think I wrote it back in early August :) I have always wanted to get a letter printed in a comic book, and figured it would happen someday :) (especially since letter's page "legends" such as Olav Beemer were able to get printed in multiple titles in the 90's!) A dream come true!

:lol: Yeah...I remember that one.

I still flip to the back of a book to see if they print any letters....purely habit from my youth....tried for years!

So, which board members have had letters printed, and in which issues from the line are they printed in?

Mine is in Solar #3 under the alias Bink Lee (my comic alias) I wonder why I didn't use that for my log-in here come to think of it?

Sorry. Just talking to myself.

No, not those socks, they clash.

Shooter? Write a column? You mean, as though he had full control over the line? It's a thought but it is a pipe dream, I'm afraid. Dark Horse has not impressed me with the way they are running things.

<object width="480" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C9hbdWmKgr0?fs ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C9hbdWmKgr0?fs ... n_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="390"></embed></object>

still hasn't appeared...
