Nice. My LCS has 2 on order for the release. 30% off REALLY helps

Wouldn't it be better to support my LCS by buying this instead of Amazon.com?

They will be the ones carrying you new comics come December? Right?

I have no problem with anyone supporting their LCS if they want to. Heck, if I liked my LCS, I might get them to order one for me, but I don't go there anymore, period.

Online ordering for me...

Same here

, but since I work for Amazon, I'll probably get one there too, finally get to use that employee discount.

Please do, it would certainly help the Valiant cause and you are likely to get a better price!

Not sure what this is referring to. A thread I missed?

Great to hear! PM your thoughts on the book once you get it.

That's exactly how I feel... I know I'm going to pay more at my LCS, but they are so great that I really don't mind.

I am buying two from my locale shop. One foe me and one for his shelf as he did not want to bring one in. This way if it does not sell I will buy it off him in a few months.

Wait? I thought we were going to have.....

New comics by years end.

December is the last month of the year. Right?

Amazon should offer a discount. I am sure they can give a 10-20% discount considering this was only ~$13 from DCBS.

It doesn't make sense to order from Amazon at this point unless there's no LCS in your area. If you're going to pay full price, might as well support your LCS.

Oh. OK.

Then they should have a EIC by years end.

It's been my suspicion they either have one already in place and OR can't officially announce them, regardless of whether they are currently working as EIC at VEI right now. My suspicion is, someone is at the end of a contract somewhere and they have contacted them and gotten an agreement. Much the way a coach, during the playoffs, will be hired while still an assistant with another team. Nothing can be official until later. But, that's just my guess.

On the VEI website, click on "company" then "team".

This is listed for Editor-In-Chief. It sounds more like a description of somebody already already on board than a job listing:

TBA, Editor-In-Chief/Head Editor
An experienced editor who has worked for one of the largest comic book publishers in a senior editorial capacity, managed comic book franchises across various publishing lines, has strong relationships with major comic creators, and is passionate about the Valiant characters.

So..

No EIC yet?

No new comics by years end?

Support Amazon.com and not your LCS?

Um............

No announcement on the new Editor-In-Chief.
Correct.

No new comics by years end?
I think you are referring to monthly <strike>pamphlets</strike> comics since new comics have been included with each hardcover. In that case, I'm sorry you misunderstood. Read more carefully next time.

Support Amazon.com and not your LCS?
Support whichever outlet you prefer. This thread is to inform those who prefer to purchase their books online (overseas, no access to LCS etc.) that the Amazon.com listing is now live.

Future replies to Jedimarley *SQUEE* stirring?
Not likely.

Dino, I'm surprised. You provided real responses to legitimate questions in such a negative way. You confirmed that the new stories referred to in the past are the stories found in the hardcovers (which I emensly enjoy). This sets realalistic expectations; it's great information.

I believe Jedimarley was only fishing for answers because he enjoys the IP. You could have let him/her (everyone, in fact) know that the new stories to look forward to are the ones from the hardcovers without the “read more carefully next time” comment.

Anyway, I look forward to future announcements for your EIC and any potential new hardovers (Please release more quickly - I love reading these stories, as I foolishly never bought them when they were originally published)

Thanks again, Travis

I think you are referring to monthly pamphlets since new comics have been included with each hardcover. In that case, I'm sorry you misunderstood. Read more carefully next time.

It sucks that "new comics" cost $24.95 now for like 8 pages. Do you plan to collect these stories at some point and put into a single issue (which is what I consider a "comic")?
