New Valiant Online Checklist (DB)....in the making!
Thanks to magnus20009 I'm considering doing another valiantdatabase.com-like website?!?
Please comment if you are interested in this project. The more the merrier and the more likely I will not lose focus.
As of now I only have a local database for all Valiant-related comics incl. 99.9% of all the incentives and store exclusives but not much of a frontend besides Yii2 based models and search models which aren't mass user-friendly and, of course, I need to implement those functions for you to create your own checklists. Later on, I may also add some sort of point system so we can all see who's the biggest collector: DBS, nycjadie, or ricomortis. It won't be me. I only own a couple of variants to be honest.
The new database will ultimately include everything Valiant-related:
Lots of tags will be available to narrow down searches etc.
There will be options so one can define whether their copy is signed, numbered, coa'd, graded, etc.
Okay, that's it for now. I may as well start coding a little bit right now. Please don't expect this to be ready by end of day.

- GK-3
- VH1 (incl. Nintendo & WWF)
- VH2 (incl. imprints)
- Defiant
- DH
- *SQUEE*
- iBooks & VIP
- VEI
- the *NEW SQUEE* (some call it a #BadIdea)
- all kinds of foreign language editions (which is the only part of "my" list that is nowhere near complete)
Lots of tags will be available to narrow down searches etc.

While I cannot do any coding I can help review the data as there are a phenomenal amount of books.

Re: New Valiant Online Checklist (DB)....in the making!
LOVE!
I'm happy to help, but likely can't roll up my sleeves until I get my collection back and organized in the new house.
Such a great project. I'm very happy, willing and wanting to help!
I have a ton of the FCBD store variants from 2013, nearly all of them. I believe there were 60+ or something like that.
I've been pretty out of the last 18 months on the store and con variants. Can't keep track without some help.

Re: New Valiant Online Checklist (DB)....in the making!
Ha! My list may only be 99% complete then. I didn't think of all the FCBD store variants.
From 2013, I've only got pics from 4 different ones.
From 2014, Valiant actually posted some +40 different pics.
I could also use a decent pic from the FCBD 2019 Space Cadets Exclusive Variant.
Does anyone know who illustrated it? Another mystery that needs solving.

Re: New Valiant Online Checklist (DB)....in the making!
If you are including Defiant, then maybe Broadway has a place in your list?
I have referred to such related comics as in the Valiant Apocrypha.
Depending on how much you want to tie in with the Cult of Shooter, maybe some of his other Indy work, like that 7 Kult Komic.

valiantdatabase.com is still taken by some agency that is asking for $375.
Sneak a peek....
Done for today. On to the conference final.

From the second link: "Some time later, finally, the first issue went to press. The print run was 10,000. The book was on sale only in Kabbalah Centers at that point."Chiclo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 7:47:52 pmThat would be it.

And a comment that an ashcan for #2 was printed for another event.

Re: New Valiant Online Checklist (DB)....in the making!
I'm happy to include everything. It's not "ultimate" if it doesn't have everything in it. Having said this....
SPOOFs are already there; didn't mention it.
Mags (CSN, Hero, Wizard, etc.) -- check; didn't....either.
Signed stuff -- yes; not sure if I have pics of everything but those can be added later.
SEVEN -- happy to add it. Can someone post a decent picture of the signed version please? When exactly was it published--FEB 2007 or 2012? The available info is a bit confusing. JJ writes the first issue wasn't finished by NYCC 2007 but then she says the ashcan was distributed at the "party."
Merch will be added later too--In/Action Figures, Statues, Penguins, Cards, Rings, etc. Right now the focus is on getting it online and all comic books listed.

Imp-Unity was issue 0 of an ongoing series called Spoof Comics Presents that ran from issue 0 to 19. Each issue was subtitled with a parody of a then-current hot title and Imp-Unity: Gender Is Not Absolute was the only Valiant title spoofed in the ongoing series. The remainder is the issues listed were 1-shots. I remember that Bloodskirt had a regular and a gold edition (and maybe a signed edition?) but the gold edition was the same as the regular edition but it had a gold sticker on the cover declaring it to be a special, limited gold edition.
I think it was Spoof that did a card set called Spasm that spoofed the Plasm Defiant card set.

Triumphant comics printed a set of posters of Defiant characters in a sort of non-crossover.
The issues in question were listed with a bit of explanation at the end of the Triumphant comics checklist - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=24599
