Damn it... I mean, I'm still excited for everything Valiant, but it would be a lot of fun seeing the GK3 characters jump into the universe, and shine a huge spotlight on the company.Keith wrote:While Dino's tweet teasing Turok has spawned all kinds of spirited conversation, he also wrote the following:

I don't think it would. Outside of Valiant fans the GK3 aren't well known, so they can't be considered much of a draw. And even if they were acquired, people who DO know about them would be skittish because it's been relaunched so sloppily and frequently. I think VEI is better off making expy characters of them, because they can completely define them as something unique to this era of Valiant.TheFerg714 wrote:Damn it...

Oh I don't know Turok is well known. More as a video game but still pretty well known.

Magnus is well-known enough for Zap Branigan (from Futurama) to have his outfit based on Magnus'.

The Gold Key characters return to Valiant with Zombies. Magnus Putrifying Flesh Fighter with 20 different variant covers including a very special putrefying flesh scented variant.
Turok returns from his trip to the Dynamite sucks balls universe into the far faraway searching for the mythical yourasshashadit park taking on dinosaurs dragons and even more obnoxious comic collecting *SQUEE* tourists.
Doctor Spektor enters the Valiant universe with a very special guest appearance from doctor mirage in you *SQUEE* slap my ghost i *SQUEE* slap the *SQUEE* out of your husband ghost. Sorry 5-htp is supposed to sometimes give you nightmares not idiotic thoughts.
I wonder when Valiant will start numbering their books the
Way marvel does so we can see a xomanowar 250th issue.
