Surprise! Yeah, it's a bicycle. You can imagine how many readers (me included) were surprised when we read that issue all those years ago. And if you don't get that on a sketchbook, I definitely am.lorddunlow wrote:Just pulled up the issue. Oh my.. It's the armor, disguised as a bike, that attacks people. I do believe this is just bad enough to be funny good. I now know what I'm getting sketched on my flipbook.
Ya gotta wonder how stuff like that gets by the editorial board. But the real culprit isn't the guy who came up with the idea in the meeting room. It's the second guy who says "Yeah, that's a great idea!" It's his fault.
This thread is making me think about diving in and buying a pack.

You're absolutely right. If someone had just stood up to George Lucas, the Star Wars prequel trilogy wouldn't be the huge pile of *SQUEE* that it is.jmatt wrote:Surprise! Yeah, it's a bicycle.

Oh, and nice cards. I'm seriously impressed by how good the art is on some of these.

The regular boxes are going to come with unique sketch cards too?depluto wrote:I like that one too.
If you're thinking of buying another I would just wait until the regular boxes come out and crack one of those open. It probably won't be much more than a pack of the preview cards.

Re: 2013 Valiant Preview Sketch card thread
The set will probably come with sketch cards, printing plates, cut panels from the comics, autographs and other "HITS". It's usually never just one item. Plus the regular base cards.
