Better to be mean now and bring the goods on the day no? We're bringing a level of quality that was worth the long wait. Valiant Comics will return the way it deserves. Hang tight, we are so close guys. A small Christmas poster peek is just around the corner.

Christmas poster peek, you say? Sounds very exciting!

Yay! Can't wait to see it.

Lots of activity on Twitter.


Some of the suggested artist / writers in the facebook comments make me want to vomit.

What about Rob Liefeld? He's pretty much what the Valiant community has been screaming for!

That. Is. Sick.

Anything by Loeb and Sale would be mind-numbingly pointless.

He does have past experience drawing Valiant characters.

It kinda looks like someone put a vacuum on Bloodshot's face for like an hour.

My apologies if this has been posted before (still fairly new around here), but I started following dinesh_s on Twitter, since he is the Chief Creative Officer at Valiant these days. He had these two Tweets of note recently --

11/11 - The first Valiant top secret weapon goes public in Dec. Think we may have cracked secret weapon #2 today!

11/12 - Stop by your LCS in December for a sneak peek. You should also start a pull box.

So we're only a month away from something more concrete?! I guess 2012 is just a little over a month away, but still!

Good catch! I'm wondering if he's talking about the Valiant sneak peek poster that is supposed to come in December?

...and Dino... I'll start my pull box just as soon as you tell me what titles I need to list!

I must've missed the news on the forthcoming Valiant sneak peek poster. Any specifics? Will it be mass produced for public consumption?

Cool, sounds like word is spreading.

The only news was a post on here from Dino saying that we were getting a sneak peek poster for Christmas, which I originally assumed meant a VF type thing, but with the latest Tweets, it looks like it may be available in comic store.

Maybe like a free give away? Or just something that will be posted at a comic shop?

that would be lameness.

As long as they are getting the word out, goal met.

I think posters and cards being sent out starting in December or January would be wise. Start drumming up interest. Get a presence in shops and in readers minds.

Huh, guess I gotta figure out what my LCS would be. The place I used to buy comics from closed up shop close to a decade ago (Legends Comic).

Anyone know a good Comic Book store in the South Jersey area...? I would like to give them a heads up that I want the books so they can have them right from the start...

Making anything LCS exclusive is opposite of getting the word out.

You can start there and work out. I doubt Wal-Mart, FYE or Hot Topic would touch something from a long-defunct line of books.

Well, judging by how they handled the t-shirts, I'd say it's entirely possible these could be given out through other means as well (maybe contests, comic-cons?), but the fact is comic stores are going to be best the form of mass distribution they can use right now. How else would you do it? Maybe mail-order? I don't think that's necessarily "getting the word out", because you'd have to already be a fan to buy the poster. Although, that's even assuming that is their goal. Maybe they are just looking to get fans hyped for the upcoming release? Either way, I'm excited to see what's in store and equally excited to see what secret project #2 is.

I see your point, but disagree. At this point, any word is good word. You can always build up.

Social media. Facebook and Twitter (even though I am on neither).
