:?

um... ok... I have a few questions.

First of all... who the H E double L is Bob Hall?

and what in the hell is a Harbinger? and why does it come in a hardcover?

I think I've been on the wrong website for all these years. :!:

Wow, I slack off for a couple of weeks and find out that everyone here was buzzing about the return of Valiant. I feel so left out! :!:

Offered on eBay!

Post by StarBrand »

Effective immediately I'll be offering dutch auctions of these on eBay continually until well after the release, unless I sell out. I'll be ordering heavily, but could still run out.

This is how Valiant begins this time? At least it's a step in the right direction. Has there been any other talk at this point of other stuff they will be doing? I know that this hjas all been answered already somewhere else, but I am too lazy to look. Links would be nice.

Anyone know what the length of the new story would be? I mean I can't get to my copy of the old Harbinger trade, if we could just calculate #0-#7's page lengths, we'd get an idea of how long the new story's page count might be as the book is supoosed to be 192 pages.

One theory is that the new story will be included as an insert.

MotA did a page count of 0 - 7 and it came out to 192.

Has there been any peeks at the recoloured pages by chance? I was just wondering if there was a big difference from the quality of these vs the originals?

I have no idea where to post this, and I am NOT starting another Harby thread.


So I went into my LCS (really it's not "my" LCS, it's just a LCS), and I asked about the Harby HC.

The owner and I had a good talk, he knew about it (Previews), but didn't know the full scoop.

Bottom line I reserved one, and he is gonna order a few for the shelves.


:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:


I told him that I will want whatever Val. puts out. So hopefully as more books come out, he will continue to buy extra for the "shelf"........


Good times all around.

Plenty new things to talk about man, that's why. You are a regular and often hevy volume poster, hence with something new and tangible related to the core focus of the board the fact that you weren't posting was.....ironic. :wink:
