Kothari's group bought the Valiant library last year after Acclaim filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Its plan is to republish its best titles and begin generating new issues by year's end.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Hopefully they can emulate the failed WS revamp - poach great talent like Morrison and co. - but not fall short where Jim Lee did (by only having two or three issues of the two flagship titles come out in three years).

Regardless of anyone's feelings on V2 I would kill to see another Valiant book by Ellis or Waid. And for God's sake, Priest!

Argh, no.

No Morrison, no Waid.

I hope that VEI considers looking outside comics for talent. The current "talent" was raised with Silver Age crap comics, so that's the only way they understand comics.

Last thing we need is for Morrison to go to VALIANT and start his crap about sibilings who want to have sex with each other and a VALIANT multiverse.

Yeah! Great news to finally hear something, even if it might be near the end of the year before we get the new comics. I guess that means the hardcovers should come out pretty close together if they are going to complete those before releasing new stuff.

I suppose I should get the last 63 books I need for my reading set now.

I agree. Its a great newsday.

If they plan on releasing new material by the end of the year, then they would have to have the creative talent lined up. They could get away with hiring specific artists a few months down the line.

But if this is going to be anywhere similiar to Valiant's initial launch, then some kind of Valiant bible would have had to have been constructed or be in the process of being constructed right now.

It seems reasonable to think they must be getting close to an answer on the Gold Key properties, too.

Let's hope so.

Great news. I dig the hardcovers but would much rather have some new monthly books.

Ugh Grant Morrison. Has anything he wrote since he left JLA made any sence to anyone not on drugs? Get guys like Peter David and Jay Faber people who know how to character driven stories that have plenty of action and not about trying to update stupid Silver Age non-sence.

Definitely.

It's important not to get talent from the inbred Silver Age-fanboy pool.

One of VALIANT's trademarks was that they grew their own talent (Chen, Chang, Gonzalez, Vanhook, etc, etc, etc), so hopefully VEI will revive that.

Bring back Knob Row!!!
