I guess that's how most people outside our group look at the situation.

It’s important to note that despite the similarities in name, neither concern (as far as I know) has any ties to the original VALIANT company or creative teams other than the tapping of Shooter to come back and lend a new story to the Harbinger collective, so it is difficult to know who to root for in this dispute. I’m leaning towards Valient Entertainment at this point solely for the fact that they worked with Shooter on this “new” project and bringing in the man who was the epicenter for this “big bang” of creativeness is exactly the right step towards bringing this beloved universe back to the prominence it deserves. The inclusion of Shooter brings hope that the universe will be brought back for the right reasons, to make damn good comic stories that stand the test of time the way the original VALIANT did, rather than retool the franchises to the lowest common denominator for a cheap buck the way Acclaim did. Fingers crossed, let's hope this one works out for the fans.

"cult community in the comics subculture"
Woo-hoo! We're officially a bunch of kooks!
(Can I put this as my religion on government forms?)

Whatever gets the point across works for me.

Greg, if you can pass off being a VALIANT fan as a religion, sign me up!

What's the correct paperwork? I sure would like a tax exemption for being "clergy".

Am I strange to think that it might be kind of neat to live in a very small community where resources are shared and beliefs are fairly close. There are so many benefits to it.. but of course one must give up some freedoms.

Way off topic, I know

Awesome! I'll begin my new life as a chicken farmer and refuse to pay my taxes!

And Greg can preach from the "good book" of Rai #0!

"Aram..." my brothers and sisters "...vanished from the face of the Earth, never to bee seen by anyone to this day." Hallelujah!

We'll use Valiant commons for currency!

What you're describing sounds like the hippie communes from the late 60's.

Any goats are lost from the DC-Lite community down the street

I think that because Jim Shooter worked with VEI, it does give VEI a huge boost that they are a legit company that is truly trying to bring this universe back. Hopefully, the law of the land will see that as well, and I feel confident that those outside are community are going to back someone who comes up with a real product like the new HC versus a bogus ashcan that was made at Kinko's.

No, but we are awaiting for the return of a new line of continuously printed comics from VEI
