Well, I think that someone else was there to bid! But I am not at liberty or legally able to comment at this time.

Darn! Really, the only other person I'd like to see wind up with this is Shooter himself (or Phobos). Still, I'm not surprised that someone else was there. Hope we get good news soon!

All I can say is the other bidder is not from any other comic company.

Interesting. That rules out Top Cow... And I thought I couldn't get more anxious for the end of this auction.

Movie/TV studio?

It's someone from Time-Warner, isn't it?

If they win, will they change their name to AOL-Time-Warner-VALIANT-Earth's Solar System and related Colonies (an entertainment company)?

I'm all for whoever gets it bringing in Shooter. My only concern is that we don't see Valiant turn into another Malibu.

I bet it is Shooter...

Just a guess on my part, but I'm sure he wants the rights to the characters he helped create.

I guess you know what I know then.

Actually, it was me.

I thought I was bidding on Valiant CHARICATURES--those funny drawings of people with big chins and goofy smiles.

It turns out the auction was for Valiant CHARACTERS--my bad.

I thought $200 thousand seemed a little steep...

Shooter himself is bidding....oh crap I have to go get a towl, I just made a mess on my keyboard and have to clean it up with all the excitement!

I know! I know - it's Greg isn't it!! He is using the money that has been raised form the VcVSS books!!!

I'm not going to say anything to keep from jinxing this - but if it's these two bidding against each other, I can honestly say that I'll be happy however it turns out.

If it was Shooter, I assume that Taddeo would let him win, then offer to finance the revival.

It be cheaper that way for everyone involved.

this is like crack, heroin and porn all rolled up into one...there are 26 people on the boards RIGHT NOW...the middle of the morning (11:15 CST) there are days when I am the ONLY ONE on the boards at this time...I gotta pee...

Sect · Post by **Sect** » Tue Apr 12, 2005 11:19 am

aurgh this is killing me

i have a paper due in two hours and i'm surfing the valiant boards constantly refreshing to see if there are any results of this

davidb · Post by **davidb** » Tue Apr 12, 2005 11:20 am

I know. Every time I refresh the page and I see that little star's changed from blue to red, I come running to see if we've gotten any word yet.

Hmm.. I just realized that this post will make it change color again. Oh, well.

As long as whoever gets it treats it with respect, then that's cool.
