Thanks Dinesh!

Thanks Dinesh!
Will put this in my gallery when I have time, but want to share my happiness immediately.
Valiant has always recognized the fan community. When Ramses stepped up and offered to buy special convention books on my behalf, Dinesh took it one step further and gave them to me! Again proof that this publisher has a special relationship with its fans and that Valiant recognizes and deserves these fans! Big thanks to both of you. Proud to have you as friends.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
Dino is the coolest. 3 years ago I had a BS tee, a Unity red, a Gold A&A and lots of promotional stuff sent to me by VEI FOR FREE, due to this gentleman. He's the best CEO in comics. Point.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
Last year Dinesh did a trade of Valiant books with me. It was completely one-sided in my favor. I had thrown out a ridiculous idea for a trade in complete jest and knowing fans the way he does he surprised me beyond belief by agreeing to the trade. I had to do a double take and explain I was kidding but he insisted and made my day. When I was packing up my books to send I was still shaking my head that it was happening. If only more CEO's were this in touch with their clients. You don't see Marvel, DC, Image or others that I know of doing anything of the sort Dinesh does to engage with fans and strive to earn their readership. If there is ever an opening in the VEI legal department I'd love to work for Valiant and a stand up man like Dinesh. He'd be the easiest boss to work for.
Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age!

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
Dinesh made some con exclusives available to me when I couldn't find them anywhere else. He also takes the time to respond to me when I have a question. He is definitely part of the reason I collect Valiant comics.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
This is turning into a Love Fest regarding Dinesh, and rightly so. The man is probably THEE most down to earth CEO I have ever met, bar none! The guy is open and friendly with all the people that are fans of his comics. He encourages face-to-face conversations with not only him, but all his artists/authors.
In my one and only meeting with the man, he was genuine and just simply awesome! Hope he comes to Seattle again this year, love my talks with him!

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
It has been a pleasure to promote Valiant for me personally because of Dinesh. He is engaging and honest in all my dealings. He has always treated my self and my children (who where only 10 and 11 at the time) as individuals. The same can not be said for other creators (yeah I am looking Rob Liefeld ). And that's another thing that should be acknowledged as long as we are spreading the love let's name a few other great people? In no particular order... Atom Freeman, Fred Pierce, Warren Simmons, Josh Johns, Hunter Gorinson, Andy Liegel, Mathew Klein, Gavin Cuneo, Heather, Charles and Matthew (Please forgive any spelling errors and the forgetting of last names as I am doing this from memory.)to name just a few. But of course there is always a fountainhead. It all starts at the top...
Thank you Dinesh.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
Dino's the man. I am continually amazed at his engagement with fans on a personal level.
At NYCC 2013(?), he and I were chatting in the Valiant booth. He stops, grabs a Shadowman Black #nn from under a table and asks "Do you have one of these?". Then he signed it for me.
We are so, so very lucky to have a guy like this at the helm. He's a fan of the fans.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
Just to pile on the love fest: Dinesh has answered every email I've ever sent and has been more than generous in saying thanks. His attitude and approach is Valiant and it's awesome.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
He continues to be the most involved and accessible CEO in the comics publishing business today. This fact is one of the major reason why VEI enjoys the support of soooo many fans who in turn become converted ambassadors to help spread the word.

Re: Thanks Dinesh!
I met Dinesh last year at ECCC and he was so talkative and engaging. He brought people over to meet me, gave me a book signed by Venditti to give away on the podcast, took a pic with me and even asked me to come back around to show him a Faith commission by Adam Gorham. The guy blows me away. No one is that nice but he really treats the average fan like they matter. He's responded or shared things on social media I've put up, like gripes and such, that makes me so glad to be this supportive of Valiant.
