And they wonder why comic shops are going out of business

I, however, will have more faith.
Not surprising to hear that kind of reaction coming from a shop owner. Hopefully he will be proved wrong.

He's right no new comic companies make it - IDW & Dynamite just completely failed.

That's what they said about Image and Dark Horse. Look at them now. Plus, Valiant can't be considered "new".

Good point. I think that will help although they will still have an uphill battle in today's market. Hopefully if things are done the right way, the characters will resonate with a whole new generation and Valiant will live on for a long time.

The right way = good stories, books on time, a new/fresh/creative way of doing things, and make sure the book is worth the price with the amount of story.
