I can't believe the voting is as close as it is. I voted on this yesterday and it was close then, I figured the nays would have it by now in a landslide victory. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. I am not a fan of the bright flashy colors in the Valiant Vision books. It reminds me too much of the guy down the street that mows his lawn in a bright yello speedo, while his "buddy" drinks lemonade.

Mowing the lawn in speedos seems so...wrong.

I voted No.
The last thing i want them to do (well, one of the last things i want them to do) is bring back valiant vision. To me it basically dumbed down the book, I really like the art and look of those early valiants. ...valiant vision was a very cheesy gimmick. A good colorist can really do a great job on a comic book, and that's what i want to see great art...not 'stupid' gimmicks.

I recognize the detriments of the system and by no means am I advocating that it be brought back in force. I believe that the occasional use of the system would be fun. Heck, they could even offer a regular and a Valiant Vision edition of a title like DC just did with Action Comics. That way both the purists and the Vision-aries can be happy with the book they purchase.
