I will :)

The website will probably handle that.

People will visit and sign up, then we'll send issues to as many of them as we have copies to send.

And, with luck, we'll be able to do a second printing for whoever missed out.

That depends on whether or not we get the investment of the first printing back (just the printing).

OK, this is just me, but I don't think you will have ANY problems offsetting costs or "getting rid" of copies.

Any thoughts to a VV-F-SS edition of the project?

"Valiant Validated Fanboy Signature Series"

Just a thought!

Lol.

I don't know if we'll call them that, but if things work out just right, every copy we're sending to the creators will be signed by everyone involved in the project.

Maybe, depends on the logistics of it and if everyone wants to try doing it.

I don't think we've discussed it much.

I should also mention....for ALL involved in this project, that I mentioned this fanzine was being produced to a couple of local comic shops nearby in the last couple of days, and both were VERY excited. One is thinking of making a "Valiant reading" section in his shop to do something some of the lower-grade copies wasting away in his .50 cent box.

I want to make clear, that I for one, am VERY thrilled to know that there is yet another piece of VALIANT history to look forward to. Valiant was all about taking risks, and this just shows that this project is worth as much merit as any other previous Valiant publication. If I were Jim Shooter, I would want to make a foreword in your book to this website, as well as this team, for keeping this awesome array of characters alive. We're all proud of you!

Here's to the birth of the V3 Universe. :!:

Thanks!

It be great if we could get opinions on the project from all major writers associated with the character (Shooter, Vanhook, Priest, Jurgens).

Who am I forgetting? (VH 1 Only).

Sure, why not?

I didn't like them either, btw, I thought that they completely went against the core of the character.

I just wanted to thank MOTA, it was fun to be involved with this book and help shape the story. I can't wait 'til the art starts to come in.

Turok #47 was the only one that ended right, without a cliffhanger.

Maybe Ninjak can be considered as one that ended well.

Six down, 42 to go :)

Inks will start soon.

Something very cool happened today in regards to this project, but it's a surprise, so I'm gonna keep it a secret for now :)

A very cool surprise :)
