Tps of the old VALIANT stuff would be great.

What do you think is more important?

To get the stories out there for people to see (i.e. 15-17 years old reading comics today who were too young when they originally came out)in an affortable and durable format (i.e. tp)?

Or for the prices in the back issues to go up?

I know that for those of you that bought doubles or triples of each comic it be important for the prices to go up, but for me, who am a fan of the stories and characters and would like to see them come back, it's more important that people become aware of the stories and demand the true return of those characters (in other words, no more VH 2 Marvel/DC/Image wanna-be bs/crap. I want a revival of the real VALIANT).

X-O Manowar #65 has the PERFECT cliffhanger than allows for a revival of the whole line, making it unnecessary to refer to either the X-O Manowar #68 or VH 2/U2K fiascos.

I'm not sure the two extremes are unrelated ManoftheAtom. The Valiant stories are so good that to get readers to flip through the TPB would cause them to seek out the originals. This would in-turn cause the values to rise.

Agreed

I meant to include that in my post but forgot

It wasn't lost if you were able to find it and the other several threads bumped.

Should I leave these alone and not bump stuff up from the back of the list that I think are worthwhile threads?

I would only bump stuff that you have something to add to.

Perhaps greg can make a "hall of fame" section, or an "important information" section for threads that are no longer actively posted on. Hall of fame for a thread that was just really interesting and had some good discussion (sort of the opposite of topic oblivion), and "important information" for threads that contained important information regarding valiant (ie, interviews, information about the licenses, etc)
