Hmmmm.... did Shooter really sign or did someone sign his name for him?

If the latter, that was very, very wrong.

I also noticed Andy Smith's name.

Is that Andy "X-O Manowar" Smith or is it a coincidence?

I also see that Mike Baron signed.

I think architect confirmed that Andy Smith and Mike Baron have told him that they signed the petition as well as a few others who have signed as anonymous. He also said that he informed Shooter about the petition. It could really be him I guess.

That would certainly be cool.

I mailed to Breyfogle so maybe we shouldn't resend it his way!

hey, its Monday. Any updates on this? Why is John T. so quiet? I'm sure he can cough up a few hints...
Besides, if he lost, why can't he tell us why and when? What are they going to do, award it to someone else...duh, if he lost, he lost; so speak up.

I would imagine that anyone that has been involved with the sale wouldn’t be able talk about what happened until everything is final and done.

To be honest, as an original Pre-Unity Valiant fan, I was originally pretty *SQUEE* when I first heard that Acclaim had bought Valiant Comics from Voyager Communications, especially knowing that even back then, Accflaim was teedering on the brink of Bankruptcy. I kinew that they would ultimately fail, as comics were floundering, and acclaim sucked at almost anything that they touched. I miss Magnus, XO, Rai, Solar and the lot. So hopefully, who ever it is that has bought Valiant will be able to do something worth while with this amazing collection of characters that they have gotten ahold of! I just hope that it has the imensely fantastic quality of the Voyager days. If all else fails, they could get Jim Shooter to come back and get the ball rolling.

Hey, whatever happened to Jim Shooter ?? I attended a speech he gave to a small room at a comic convention and he came across as a really interesting guy. The speech centered around Rocky, the first movie, and how well it was put together.

Anyway . . . Is he still in comics ?? I would pillage fields, rape horses and ride of on the women to get him involved in Valiant's come back !!
