Nice to see they on good terms with Bob. Bob's talent appears timeless, his work is just as good as it was in 1990.

Great to see it confirmed. Bob's movie experience should be a plus.

This.

True, we cannot expect the clock to be turned back or for things to again be as they once were; however, I'm all about a BL Valiant project! Nostalgia is one hell of a drug!

Now that looks like guys just plain having fun! Nothing but good vibes in this picture!

This bodes well for all us fans who really are getting excited about this meeting. Now we dream sweet dreams of a special project where Dinesh brings back some of the old school guys, signs them, they write seriously kick *SQUEE* comics, make movies....

then Death Star explode onto the scene!

I heard some rumblings about this via Bob Laytons social media this past week. This is going to be awesome, whatever it is... #Rai0 ?! :o

I'm a fan of Bob's work all the way back to his earliest Iron Man days. But in a funny coincidence, I just read this thread today after buying a mint copy of Magnus RF #1 [1991] for $5 at my LCS this morning... The book that started this whole ball rolling, and which just happened to be his first artistic contribution to the Valiant universe as well!

That would make sense since X-O was his concept back in the day.

Yes that's why I said that. Also better than having him work for dynamite (Sucks balls)

Bob told me he did the Solar work for Dynamite real cheap, much cheaper than his normal rate.

He further stated he has twists issue to issue, which means maybe a little more than just a one shot
