See Elveen's comment above.
There isn't a big buzz on any of the VEI books, unfortunately.
It's sad, but I think most collectors blame Valiant for the bust in the 90's and the new VEI will have to be around for awhile for them to take notice that the new books are quite good.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Man, I ordered 4 copies. May not be such a good idea. But it does seem like a good book. I am actually looking even more forward to Jupiter's Legacy by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely coming in April. That book sounds like it's gonna be good.GGSAE wrote:East of West.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Part of me doesn't want the back issue heat to hit the variants simply because of that. I *SQUEE* and moan about them, but I've held my own so far in getting a good chunk of them at good prices. I think it may take another year or two for people to take notice...Elveen wrote:But ....... there will be.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
It's by the Marvel imprint ICON comics. (The Secret Service, Scarlet, Kick-*SQUEE*, Hit Girl, SUPERIOR, Nemesis etc.)caxiotis wrote:I have not heard of this book. Who is publishing it?.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
I think it's actually Image Comics this time around, not ICON. I think it's because unlike most of the other ICON books, Quitely isn't Marvel exclusive (the only ICON book I can think of that doesn't have an exclusive Marvel creator is Secret Service).MarrowMan wrote:It's by the Marvel imprint ICON comics.

Jupiter's Legacy is being published by Image. There is a 3 page spread in this month's previews. There is also a preview on Bleeding Cool:
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/01/29/ ... k-quitely/
oh and from the Image website:
The comic-book event of 2013 finally arrives as superstar creators MARK MILLER and FRANK QUIETLY give us the superhero epic that all future comics will be measured by. The world's greatest heroes have grown old and their legacy is a poisonous one to the children who will never live up to their remarkable parents. Unmissable.
http://www.imagecomics.com/comics/5497/ ... -A-Quitely
Millar is usually great and anything that Quitely does is amazing.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Agreed. I absolutely LOVE Quitely's style. Didn't know this one was going to be an image book - its advertised in some of the other Icon 'Miller-verse' titles. I'm definitely looking forward to it.nutflush76 wrote:Millar is usually great and anything that Quitely does is amazing.
