Dynamite and Valiant with Turok Dinosaur Hunter

[MoonChild]

I guess not many caught this when I brought it up a few weeks ago. Dynamite are some worms not one dime to them I say.

Whether they have the legal rights to the name or not, this whole thing is just plain tacky. Nice try on the "acclaim" subliminal message. I'd have more respect for this relaunch if they didn't use Valiant writers, artists, copy their strategy, and try to use associative word manipulation. It makes them seem like shysters.

At this point I don't know if they are doing all of this solely to make a big splash -- it seems like they partly want to aggravate VEI. Pak is a good writer, Turok is an interesting character. They didn't need to piggyback on VEI or Acclaim. Even if an original (I.e. non-Valiant) campaign by Dynamite didn't make a splashy debut, the series could build momentum. Instead, they've alienated a segment of their target audience by showcasing questionable business morals.

My sentiments exactly, if they had just gone in a new direction I might have given it a go, but this, it's like they're trying to just reprint VH1 Turok, or merely repackage it. And you're right about alienating their core target audience, fans of 90's GK characters

I guess I am in the minority since I plan to read these books.

Dynamite is still shady and this is underhanded but I am curious to see the product.

[Heath]

I'm curious too. But not enough to give Dynamite any of my money.

[Phoenix8008]

I'm not Dynamite-curious, and even if I were they wouldn't get any of my money.

[Man Of The Atom]

I am going to wait for the TPBs to come out on amazon for all of the gold key characters and read those.

Dynamite-curious. That's a funny term.

Would be a cool custom.

I'd have to post a lot more than I do now to get a custom anytime soon. Is the limit still 5,000 posts to get a custom?

3,000 I believe

Cool. And it's only been nearly 6 years so far to get that many posts. So I'm on track for a custom by 2020!

You never know. I had about 20 posts between my join date in 2010 and 2012. As you see, my posting habits changed a bit.

Hope you can get there faster.

Not sure where the notion of trying to invoke Acclaim is seen as a slight to VEI; seems more an attempt to grasp the video game associations than anything.

I don't think that is a slight to VEI itself. It just makes Dynamite look like their grasping at straws. Throwing into the pot every single possible link or reference to any past version of the character makes them seem very desperate to me. Like they don't trust how good their own book is. Time will tell I guess.

There's a new Pak interview for this on Comicvine... it looks actually pretty good. I don't think Valiant needs the Gold Key characters anyway, so I might try this. Wish it was IDW or BOOM! or something, though. Dynamite, at least in regards to Valiant, are shady.

[FormerReader]

*SQUEE* them.

[nonplayer]

Its in my budget to buy this title

[Peter]

Saving my money for Valiant.
