Same here John, It is incredible that these guys went out of their way to help us all out like this.
Well done I reckon.

Dear Valiant Fans and Friends,

It is with considerable sadness that I write this. I am choosing to step back because for me, it is no longer enjoyable working alongside Valiant.

This has been a great run during the last year and a half. I can't tell you how much we appreciate all the support the Valiant Fans here have given our efforts for the following projects:

Fundraiser for Squirrel's Medical Bills
"I Love Valiant Comics" VEI YouTube Promo
Collector's Paradise Promo
VEI CBR Poll Initiatives
VEI Lending Library
Photo Scavenger Hunt
Lurkers VEI Mystery Prize
Three Rounds of TPB reviews with getting fans con exclusives availability

All of these were done to promote Valiant and encourage Valiant Fans in their support for Valiant, but it's now time to move on.

Elery and I welcome the opportunity to provide input and/or feedback if anyone is interested in continuing this legacy.

I would lastly like to take this opportunity to sincerely wish VEI every good fortune possible for their continued success.

Fondly and with much appreciation,

Bruce

Well, this sucks...

You will be missed, friend. I wish we could persuade you otherwise.

Thank you for all you have done.

[String]

Wow, sad to hear that you've decided to step back.

I got my package last week and I must say, thanks to you and Elery and everyone at VEI for this. As with Round #2, I can't see a big corporate company such as DC or Marvel doing something like this for their fans, so it means a lot that Dino and Co are willing to go the extra mile to show how much they appreciate and love their fans (as well as the hard work that you and Elery have put into arranging all this for us).

Again, much thanks.



As for my blank sketch on Armor Hunters #1, I may post a pic later on, but it's amazing in it's detail. It's a stick figure...with a simple word balloon that says...."Hi! I'm an Armor Hunter!"

I'm not quite sure who drew it from their initials, but again, great stuff, all of it!

Thanks for everything that you two do.

Maybe after a little time has gone by...

[nscc]

Sorry to hear it is no longer fun for you Bruce. Regardless, we all really appreciate everything you guys have done for us here.

Also glad you aren't leaving the site, just the promos, so you'll be around here with us still.

[nscc]

My slack *SQUEE* also got around to snapping a pic of my sketch cover.



I love it!

Anyone know who DK is?

[Ramses818]

Sorry I have no idea who "DK" is. I am sure we could probably figure it out though?

[drmirage]

What's ironic is. Dk usually means "Don't know"

[Peter]

I again thank you Bruce and Elery for all your work guys.
This is not the end.

I realise that you both are stepping back from the promotions side, but I know you guys won't be far from the boards, and that is good to know.

For services above and beyond in promoting Valiant comics, I would like to put it to the crew at Valiant, and I have mentioned this before, How about putting the caricatures of Bruce and Elery into their favourite books

This would be a respectful token in acknowledging all their hard work, and if it where at all possible (I have no idea about the processes involved) it just would be a nice tribute to this two man team that brought us such classics as the TPB reviews and the fun of the Photo scavenger hunt.

[Peter]

I received my books today and i'm over the moon.
This sketch has exceeded all my hopes as Gilad is my favourite character.

Thank you again to Bruce and Elery and Hunter, and everyone involved from the boards to the offices of Valiant.
Thank you so much

I thought that too when I read it, Don't Know

also... re: the "26 "... do YOU have an announcement or something coming up at 2700 posts too or is this just a tease of some sort ?

Really nice one congrats Peter, but I think it's Aric with his helmet off.

3 things make me think so- It's an Armor Hunters blank, no face scars and the neck looks like Shanhara armour.

Only Hunter Gorrison knows for sure

I guess that is the first character it looked like to me, yes I could be wrong (not the first time ha) but I surmised what looked to be strands of hair going across his face to be the scars (even if they appear to be mirror image).

Not that it matters, to me it's Gilad

HUGE THANKS to Bruce and Elery for all the long hours and love they have put into promoting Valiant.

It takes a lot to get things done, and it takes a lot more to get things done RIGHT.

Bruce and Elery really made sure to do them right, above and beyond the call of any fan.

Superfans forever.

[drmirage]

Thanks man! Means a lot coming from you!
