Episode 5 is up and online.

"Special Edition! This episode is a result of an impromptu discussion between Sean, Chiclo, and Zeph on the comics industry. This episode goes a little off topic as we discuss what happened to the comics industry for the last 20 years, from boom to bust to scrapping by, plus our visions for the future of the comic book industry.

Get it at the regular source, or subscribe on iTunes! Now available in the iTunes store! Search for "Valiant comics" or "Only the Valiant".

If you use iTunes, I would love it if anybody where to write us a review for the iTunes store. Thanks!

Checking it out now, the language convo is quite interesting and amusing. Being from the Bay I have watched language evlove or devolve since day one. I think it actually makes people smarter as long as the School Teachers do their job and the person pays attention it really shouldn't be an issue. It kinda' makes people have to keep up with the lingo but there is alot in the english language that has been changed from it's original form in the first place. Plus it's always funny hearing granny or ma attempt to say "Let's bounce up out this piece" or somethin' :D

Hey folks,

Does anybody have any comments on the X-O Manowar hardcover? One of the upcoming episodes will have our reviews of this, and if you want to send your thoughts, I'd like to read a couple of other people's comments on this.

You can either send me a PM or email us at onlythevaliant [at] gmail.com.

If you can get them in by 5pm PDT, that would be great!

Thanks

The show is great, but I have to comment on your website. Am I the only
one here sees the lettering overlap (that's the best way that I can describe it) making very hard the new shows?

What browser are you using? In general I browse with Firefox, and do web design for that. I also check it with Internet Explorer 6. Also, what text size are you viewing the site with? If you aren't sure, you can check in the View > Text Size drop down menu. It generally works with text size "normal" (Firefox) or "medium" (Explorer), or smaller. Larger text sizes makes the site angry. I don't know when I might get around to fixing this, but hopefully I might have time sometime in the future. Web design is fun, up until the point that it is no fun at all.

Any info about your browser would be very helpful. Thanks.

Ok, so I'm way behind on listening to these... but I'm catching up today.

I listened to #1 after it came out... but I've had to get caught up with the rest.
(I'm listening to #4 right now.)

These are very entertaining... :clap:

It's instrumental... you can make up your own lyrics involving chaps.

(After listening to episode #4, I've concluded...)
There should be Valiant podcast t-shirts which state:



"I listen to dudes argue about comics on the internet. Ladies, form a line."
