I knew my timing would be perfect to say that! Odd!

Were unblanked parts seen?

Has the 'someone saying something to someone' effect kicked in to support this?

If just the Tweet, could there be another reason for blanked out parts; perhaps a rigourous NDA with another publisher ahead of a massive reboot?

If it means anything, and hasn't already been discussed elsewhere...
the art on the new homepage for www.valiantentertainment.com
seems to have an "A J A" signature on the bottom left.

Hi,
Been lurking for awhile, and with the news of the Valiant return of Valiant comics, I thought I'd put my 2-cents in.

That is in fact, David Aja (Iron Fist artist):

Looks pretty sweet

*S* I didn't mean you HAVE to work for them... but would it be nice for us fans? DEFINITELY!

It seems a lot of the old guard are on the other side of the fence. As a fan of the characters, I will wish the former artists and writers all the best, as I do follow them when and where I find their current work interesting, but I will give the new books a shot, too. Perhaps one day, things can change. Until then, I'm going to wait and see. 2012 should be pretty good.

That came out wrong.
What i meant was I would be on board in a heartbeat but not for a relaunch.
They need some serious talent to launch those books,i wouldnt be that talent.

Not interested in the stress of a relaunch effort? That sounds reasonable to me.

Imaging the pressure?
With the market as it is ( look at the DH/GK implosion ),you have to have the right talent on board,I consider myself good not great,they need better than great.

MoonChild · Post by **MoonChild** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 4:26 pm

Your art is pretty damn Great Anthony, I dont know what your turn around time is and maybe that's the pressure part but your a damn fine artist and it fits really well with the Valiant Universe.

You undersell yourself. Either way, I do agree they need to do this right in order to get the marketshare they need in order to survive.

I wouldn't drop $80 on two sketch covers from art I think is good and not great.

Next time ill sell em at the usual $180.LOL

I'd like to see Ivan Reis, Ethan VanSciver, Alan Davis and Mark Bagley on some new Valiant books.

That's an assumption I don't think I can make. The thought of Valiant without Jim Calafiore or Yvel Guichet makes me cry.

But I'd like to add my vote for that Stu Berryhill guy.

Now that I've gone back and read the whole thread, I have a few more thoughts. I'd like to echo the mentions of Arthur Suydam, Ernie Colon, and Mark Schultz. I'd also like to add a couple of my personal favorites: Mike Grell and Sam Kieth. What can I say, I'm a fanboy when it comes to those two.

And if Valiant ever did Turok again--which I know is almost unpossible--the best artist for the job would be Gary Gianni. The style he brings to Prince Valiant would be great for a more GK style Turok without talking bionosaurs.

And I completely agree with this:

Hey, don't tell me. Slym started it.

I just jumped on the bandwagon.

Dude charges fans $20 for a signature. I can't imagine what he'd charge a company for a page.
