It Just got Even Better to be a Valiant Supporter!!! *08/12

[drmirage]

Phantom is right.... My Reviews for X-O Manowar #1 TPB just went live this morning on Amazon UK.

My review did not post instantly, but it did when I checked this morning.

I will be copying and pasting all my reviews for the TPBs.

-------------------------------

Sharing photos of my two kids reading the 2013 Summer Preview Book. My son loves fliping the pages and pointing at the Goat.

I'm happy VEI provided for these books for the 22 participants. These are being given out now at C2E2 and I think these books are difficult to find in the future.

Mmm, I'm having trouble getting UK to recognize my password. Perhaps it works UK-> US but not the other way around?

Hey Dr.M you should get that book slabbed as a keep sake, it would a one of kind at that grade

Is you're daughter in charge of quality control for Valiant's printer..."Yep these copies look good, send 'em out."

I kid..I kid.

Nice pictures bro, start 'em young.

[drmirage]

HAHA! I wonder what grade that book will get with CGC... 1.0?

My son loves this book, especially the GOAT its been 'kidhandled' and its still holding up pretty good.

I saw these books selling between $15-20 on eBay . Thanks to VEI for providing them to us.

I'm keeping these stored safely away from the kids.

what happened to the surprise? can this be shared to us non-prize winners already?

[drmirage]

Erwin.... That's a very good question. Unfortunately, the surprise can't be revealed until they are received by the participants.. which will be a surprise when Bruce and I finish it. These are originally sheduled to ship in April. However, the finishing touches aren't yet complete.

It wil be with the wait ... I promise.

OK. I just thought people received it already so I bumped this thread.

When the surprised is received, I have no doubts that we will see a new topic in what the surprise is.

It's going in my gallery the day I get it

[Phantom]

Yes most likely.

But saying that the suprise will probably be worth it.

Elery and I wanted the group of 22 to know that we have not forgotten about your "extra". As hard as it may be to believe, we have been working on it almost each day for the last few weeks between emails, phone calls, and more. I can report that Elery is about to start a part of the prize on its circuitous route which will take it from LA, to NYC, to Vermont and then back to LA from where it will be mailed directly to the group of 22. The "extra" has been a long time coming together, but when you hold it in your hand and realize there will only EVER be but 22 of these unique rarities, you will be amazed as Elery and I both have as this has grown. Once the group of 22 get their personalized "extra", we'll put up the back story of all that went into this from the first innocent email between friends until the end result, so that you can appreciate all that went into the creation of this and how many people were involved behind the scenes.

And now, because you have enjoyed the clues to the "extra" to date and they have generated some very original ideas, we want to leave you with with yet another clue to this item: "While many people believe that the number 13 is unlucky, we can assure you that the group of 22 will instead know that for them, 13 is extremely lucky."

Hmmmmmm........what could it be? It will be revealed soon because I'm sure the members who get this will post pictures and comments upon receipt.

And a final reminder, VEI has now released two additional TPBs on Amazon (X-O #2 and Shadowman #1) and it sure would be appreciated if you could take the time to go to Amazon and write some solid, honest, and insightful reviews for these (or even post a video review which would be tremendous!!). It REALLY helps a lot each time someone does this.

13 copies of Turok #1?

[jmatt]

As hard as it may be to believe, we have been working on it almost each day for the last few weeks ...

Are you knitting replicas of the Harbinger #1 cover? Custom casting a set of drink coasters made from maple syrup with the faces of Valiant characters in a raised relief and then sending them to be dusted in grime from LA and NY?

What? What is it?!

[drmirage]

It is in fact hard to consider, but Bruce and I really have been running on this on a daily basis. When the revelation is finally exposed, we'll reveal all the details

(Bruce…. You'll be writing this right?? )

Just like what was said. The bits and pieces are now on a roundabout path from LA to NYC… to Vermont then back to LA.

Since Dr. Mirage (or some kind soul) pointed out I should do my reviews to jump in with both feet, I've been working on them slowly in the past two weeks. All four original titles are done, and will be working on X-O Vol 2. after I get Bloodshot HC done and reviewed, working my way through all TPB's and HC's released up to this point.

Anyway for the first four they can be found here.

Hope everyone enjoys them, and thank you to whomever liked my Harbinger review (it deserved 5 out ot 5), as you can see I take the time to write about the history of the title, the creators, the book itself, then what I thought of it at the end. Later Vols. won't contain the history section (unless Vol. 1's of a release) but they'll all basically be like that. Also big thanks to Greg, as I used VF.com's database to confirm release dates and creators when I needed the information.

[drmirage]

Whoa!!! Quite possibly be one of the best reviews I have read in the Vol #1 Books! Looking forward to reading the reviews on Vol #2 and the HC's.

Thanks!
