What exactly is "VHX"? I mean what were these plts and artwork intended for ? They look and read great BTW.
When I was five, I dragged my dad into "Mike's Comic Hut"... If only I'd known..

VHX=Valiant Heroes Extreme

This line was intended to come out after VH2 as we know it! BUT..... The powers that be left and VH3 came out, hit and miss that is.

It's a shame this one didn't see the light of day, the story sounds interesting and the art has been great so far.

So I assume you somehow managed to become the rightful owner of the art and plot breakdown...... It must be so cool being you Justin. You've got you hands into a little bit of everything. I am inpressed by your sheer drive! :thumb:

Thank you very much Valiant OCD, I really appreciate that! As some say, "You ain't seen nothing yet!"

Wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas to come around, there are more good things on the horizon!!

hey I've been looking at these pages for awhile now and it came to me what the artwork reminds me of. To me it looks like (this is a compliment!) a cross between the old EC comic line and some of mcfarlane's early spawn stuff.
In all honesty i only see the "McFarlanesque" thing in the panel that include carmen. Something about those exagerated lips and the playboy figure just scream Spawn to me. I LOVE the heavy use of the black ink. It really reminds me of the early EC stuff. I think the Sin City books were the next step in a natural progression of this style. Even the first Batman movie owes some props to EC.

Will def. keep checking this post for more pages Justin. This is almost like waiting for a new Valiant comic to come out. In fact the only real difference is that we are seeing it a little at a time. Hope you keep posting them!

Thanks!

This is great, Justin! It's like reading a daily adventure comic strip! :thumb:

Considering some of the stuff Acclaim did release, it's a true shame that this was never published. The artwork is top notch!---Steve

I really like the fact that you are sharing a page a day. It gives me something to look really look forward to on this site! :thumb:

Not that there isn't a lot of great stuff here already, but how often do you get to see an unpublished comic a page at a time?

Thanks again for sharing - I REALLY look forward to seeing more and for you VCBs to come out!

LMAO! Thanks for cheering me up Brian! I have been burning the candle at both ends and I am about out of wax in the middle. I actually went to bed early last night and slept in, first time in about a year. So I feel much better.

Wow Justin!

That was some great stuff. :thumb:

Sounds like you're working too hard (at work). Take it easy; if your busy, working really hard won't make it go away. :atomic:
