Ranking Dynamite Gold Key and Dark Horse Gold Key

Post by The Dirt Gang »

I love these characters but have yet to pick up any of the Dynamite books and picked up the first issue of Solar and Magnus from the Dark Horse run. Currently, I'm on the fence as to whether to pick any up.

How would people rank the current run at Dynamite and the Dark Horse run? Which are the best books and which are just bad?

They both suck IMHO. The Dark Horse stuff while marred by the copyright owner's interference, it was just really a poor rehash of Pre-Unity Valiant is slightly better but not by much.

I was really enjoying the dark horse run, the delays kinda killed the momentum but it was nice reading new shooter with these characters. Solar was great, samson was pretty good, magnus was fun but didnt get a chance to really take , same with turok. Have not read any of the dynamite crap.

I really liked the take on solar and turok in the dark horse books. Magnus was a let down. I haven't gotten to samson yet. Dynamite's turok and solar is horrible. Should only be used for kindling and killing flies type of horrible. Don't buy it. Magnus is good (not great) because of FVL. I'm waiting for the first issue of doctor spektor to arrive.
