I used to be partial to a butyback, but now I'd rather they make their own versions ala Divinity. Valiant's characters have a long tradition of being conceptual *SQUEE* of a few different things anyway (Harbinger is X-Men meets Akira, XO is Thor, Iron Man and Captain America in a blender, etc), so knock-offs work well. I like the mishmash nature of the universe. Ironically, it makes it unique.

I hope Britannia is a step towards their own unique Magnus archetype.

As somebody who got on board with Valiant via VEI, I'd rather see them expand the number of titles per month as well as the number of ongoing series, to provide greater depth to the high-quality roster of leading characters they have now. I like reading the old stuff as old stuff just fine.

If they could pick up the characters for a sweet price, I would love to see them back in the VU.

I wish someone would pick them up and invest into them creatively. The Gold Key runs of Magnus and Solar have been two of my favourites to read via TPB. The Valiant books are awesome. The Dark Horse and Dynamite runs....ugh....

Not needed at this point. Heck VEI barely has my favorite Valiant character (Shadowman) now and I still love it.

I never cared much for Solar or Turok. Magnus was great and I think still could be. I would be fairly excited about them getting Magnus, so yeah I kind of want that.

I don't think they are needed, however I wouldn't be against it. If the VEI team acquired these IPs I am sure they would put them to use in ways that would make fans and non-fans alike crave for more.

Also I would love some Solar and Magnus deluxe HC's.

If they were the right price, I think Dinesh would buy them.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.
