Dynamite, definitely.

They are my favourite of the indy publishers right now.

How many copies of "Sneak Peak" are in your collection?

4

Including #100 of 100.

I keep meaning to take a pic and post it in a Non-Valiant Gallery thread. And then I need to mail one off to a fellow board member.

The first came from chainnball as a wedding gift. Truly an awesome gesture.

The next three came from WWTX on my honeymoon. Graham Crackers was giving them away and loathe as I was to throw any business their way, I bought them very cheap. VERY cheap.

It's the only comic that I can say I've got 4% of the print run.

IDW is too indy. My choice would be Dark Horse. It could be ok with Dynamite too.

Wow. What's up with all those "*SQUEE*"s? Are you getting ready for Magnus killing robots in Dynamite books.

Just irritated about having to buy 4 covers per week per issue and then a week later pick up the high-end foil cover so he can have all the variants.

And it's Barbra. Her voice is like butter.

I'd work out a deal with Dark Horse so Magnus and Solar can still be involved. I wouldn't sell the rights all out, but just work out a licensing/publishing deal with them. Maybe something similar to the deal Image had with Malibu in the beginning. VEI as the creative force (and involve Jim Shooter!) with Dark Horse publishing "VALIANT Comics" as an imprint. It would bring in the experience of Dark Horse as a publisher and put the books in the front of Previews instead of being buried in the back.

I would also put the lowest cover price on the books possible.

Good ideas.

When the rumor about Shooter making an announcement was circulating around awhile back, I was thinking it might be something like that.

Over there or here?
Just over there.

VEI's webdevelopment team has solved the spam-bot problem, as of March 6th.

They have implemented the changes that I requested so that the registration system
behaves like our side.

I think we're good to go (from either side)!
