Do any valiant comics make you think of certain songs?

Post by Rufusharley »

i know this could easily go under another topic, but anyway... I've always had a few valiant titles where i'm reading them and the 'sound track' in my head is always a certain artist or song. For example i always associate Solar with the Beatles (maybe because he sings 'come together' in ...#1, is it?). And i always think of Led Zepplin with Harbinger issues (specifically their song 'No Quarter' :? ). Does this happen with any of you guys?....

It's the reverse of what you're saying, but Bob Dylan's Idiot Wind always makes me think of Shadowman because Jack uses that phrase in one issue.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

When I read any Valiant comic I sing to myself (in my head) the national anthem.

I usually think of the Pearl Jam "Ten" album, being I remeber listining to it as a kid when I would read Unity.....I usually think of the song "Alive", the words of that song make me think of Albert, and the way Mothorgod treated him, while the lyrics dont actually talk about his situation,, I always found it similar

Hmm... interesting question, but I'm with Knightt. I don't connect any music with the books.

I'm one of those types that has to have some sort of background noise while doing anything (TV is on right now as well, but I am not watching it) so I have always had something, mostly music, when I'm reading any of my comics - but like Rubik and Erskine, I don't associate any songs to any particular books.

:D

I've always felt Rob Zombie's "I'm Your Boogieman" would be a great Shadowman theme.
