VALIANT Terms

GJB · Post by **GJB** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 9:28 pm

I was thinking about some of the terms that are unique to describing VALIANT comics so I figured, let's see how many we can come up with.

I don't know of any other comic line that has as many interesting terms associated with their books.

Feel free to add your favorites. I'll start off.

Acc-lame is a fun one

Indeed.

And yet I still bust my rear trying to collect them.

In the words of greg (although I prefer to think of it as one long internal monologue):

"They aren't VALIANT, yes they are, no they're not, they're just as good but different, no they suck, no some of them are great, no I don't like them at all, but they're really ok, but I don't collect them, because I gotta get them all."

Well put.

It's "ACK-Lame"

Like Bill T. Cat... "ACK!"

-edit--
the spelling has been changed

And I believe this is the first official use of the spelling, the CC or CK way:

bamaphilosopher wrote:Well, I voted for Hwen and Carmen, simply because Dr. Mirage as a book was built around their relationship. So, it was the most developed and hence, the best, in my opinion.

However, I DO agree with Zephyr and wish they had done something with Pete's being gay...which they hinted at but never addressed after Shooter left.

And I also agree that Aric and Randy were having some interesting fireworks. Of course, I also wanted to see Lauren come back with Aric, too. (Which Jorge Gonzalez WAS planning and then the stupid AckLame people goofed it up and destroyed everything with the disaster known as Birthquake).

(By the way, I can't remember who came up with the spelling AckLame, but I like it! It sure fits.)

I must admit it. The fault is mine. One of my first posts a loooooong time ago.

Deathmate = Dookie

The term "moving energy" is something you'll never see used in a Marvel or DC comic, yet Erica Pierce and Solar use(d) is consistently to describe their powers (and of others, such as the 'original' Rai.)
