"On the left, Mark Frangos; on the right, Fred Pierce, two of the folks behind the newly re-launched Valiant Comics. In the middle — their Diamond rep, whose name we have forgotten. More details on the venture soon." . . . 10/20/2009 . . . PW The Beat Blog.
So have VEI actually announced any appointments?

I don't think they know HOW to make announcements. If I say WHY I think that is, I'll get smoked.

Please PM me your thoughts on WHY.

I find it hard to believe Bill Jemas would sign with VEI if there's no solid plan in place.

The plan is not to have a plan.

Or is the plan to plan the plan and then plan to plan more plans?

They may be busy planning on planning to plan that sort of plan right now, but first they need to plan how to plan that plan before they can do it.

Admiral, if we go "by the book". like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days.

I read you captain. Let's have it.

The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't have main power for six "days". Auxiliary power has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible, in two "days". By the book, Admiral.
