Yea, the dead universe section is extensive. I alway liked Prime and I thought most of the Ultraverse books were pretty good reads.

Thread needs moving as noted above, methinks.

I am building up my Ultraverse collection at the same time as my VALIANT. The books are a lot flashier, possibly at the expense of stories, but there was some good stuff. Lord Pumpkin looked very cool, and I enjoyed the Rune books and the concepts behind it. Like later VALIANT, I think the Ultraverse strayed from it's original premise (and ground rules) in latter stories.

I have about 2 short boxes of Ultraverse stuff.

You can pick it up in large bulk lots cheaper than large bulk Valiant lots, but for some reason I have noticed individual issues bring more.

The All New Exiles is the best X-Team. Ever.

I loved BWS' work on Rune some his best IMHO but after he left the book
no one else could do the character justice.

I agree 100% :clap:
Rune wasn't RUNE when BWS left him. He looked like Venom...on a bad hair day! :thumb:

Solitare is by far my favorite Ultraverse character. Awesome martial arts action.

But terrible asymmetrical costume though if you ask me! the clour scheme was good, and the design or either side of the costume, but the asymmetry just seemed stupid and overdone.

This was a fun auction to watch, even if it does seem like a lot of money for a convention sketch and a broken frame ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... &rd=1&rd=1

There were two bidders going tit-for-tat for several days, just pecking the price higher and higher ... then somebody else came in at the last minute and sniped 'em.

:lol:
