Is this that dude from *VALIANT (1991-1996)* (yes, I am talking about the music channel and not the fictional comic book universe...............for MOTA, wherever you are.), that show was ridiculous.
HA! The show may be ridiculous, but Eric (Mystery) is an interesting guy, even if he is over the top in regard to theatrics. I've met him, and I've hung out briefly with J-Dawg, one of his "wings" from the first season. J-Dawg is a cool guy.
If you see him again, (of all things) could you tell him he missed a spot while shaving, right under his bottom lip???

-slym (hates the *SQUEE* "soul-patch")

Not sure when I'll be hangin' with Mystery again, but I will be sure to let him know that some guy on the internet disapproves of his soul patch.

Shooter's Interview was as expected! Detailed, True and shocking!
The man is honest and I really, truly, respect him for all of his work At Valiant.
He doesn't hold back and openly delves into his memory to discribe just how fragile this company was and what it took to create it.
I like the deleted scene, kinda ties it all together but yea, I guess It wasnt very neccessary accept..(Spoiler)
Big props to Jim, Sal & Bob for this collaboration and Many,
Many thanks to all of the staff at VEI in making this collaboration happen.
I hope we get to see more of this!
These 3 hardcovers are a great start and I want you all to know that we all really appreciate the effort.
It's just amazing how many great characters came out of this Universe.

So, Magnus and Solar appear as normal in the HC? Nothing has been "changed?" I am really curious as to why this book was 2 months late...

-slym (knows he ain't the only one, either)

Solar, Turok, Magnus - Everyone was in the Unity Issues and it looks like the print regestration has been corrected
(it all ligns up so there's no ghosting like the last 2 HC's).

Thanks kindly, Moonchild! It was a hoot working on it, too.

they may have needed to cancel the shipment info if the weight was too low.

Same thing happened to me and I only ordered one copy.

I just got another shipping confirmation from DCBS.

This one is from stamps.com with tracking for a USPS package.

I guess they decided not to use UPS.

it might still be NM when you get it then!

(anyone else have trouble with UPS?)

talked to AIC.com and they the signed A&As were shipping today

So, what online shop out there has this for the least-expensive price? MCS's price is $19.99 (+ shipping.) I am one of those people that is feeling "the crunch" and want to part with as little of my cash as possible!

Any idea who might be in Italy? Maybe Sal V?

Sal Velluto doesn't live in Italy...he resides in Utah so it's certainly not him;-)

Best,

Thanks Bob. I quess we can assume it's not you either and I know Shooter is in NY. I think we have a mystery on our hands.

He could be visiting relatives. Or over there for other reasons. Maybe a PHANTOM press junket?

One, I'm glad it's out now because I've had a review set and glad it won't be a review done for a nonexistant product.

Two, I'm glad they are out as if I mailed the only two copies in existence to two winners of our contest and they became the next Bloodshot Platinum I'd kill myself (or at least somebody conveniently located, who looked like me).
