The Western CEO had a great deal of trust in Shooter due to their personal relationship, what Shooter had accomplished at Marvel, and his strong affection for the characters.
So, they were hands off. Cool.
THEY, were. None of that sounds like the way Dan Mintz does business.

I'm sure more news is coming about how things will be handled.

Yeah I don't think the situations are very similar. But we'll see.

I am optimistic every time there has been a change at Valiant ever since the DMG takeover. I was excited when they brought in Heather Antos. I was excited when they replaced her. This time will be different!

Maybe this time it really will be different.
So....we're not talking about xenomorphs?
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?
