What will be the best way to collect Alien Valiant comic books?…and what will Valiant’s comic future look like for fans?

[Juki]

What will be the best way to collect Alien Valiant from the very beginning? Will these comics be readily available at all local comic shops? What will be the best online comic distributor to “pre-order” all Valiant comics and have them mailed to your home? Will Alien Valiant play the “variant game,” and to what degree (occasional variants vs constant variants)? What will the print runs be on these initial Alien Valiant comics compared to previous Valiant print runs? How many titles will come out the first year? Which titles will be first?

I realize most of these questions cannot be answered right now. But, the purpose of this thread is to discuss what fans think, or hope, will happen. And, of course, if anyone is “in the know” your comments of “what you have heard” are welcome.

I hope they know not to try a fuggin Kickstarter.

I sense frustration with that unfulfilled past kickstarter (I thought about backing it…. But am glad I did not support that one). I don’t see how Valiant could ever attempt another kickstarter until the first one is fulfilled.

And then… there is the NFTs….

I'm sure if you research their current operating procedures that should answer those questions.

Are they listed in Previews?

Does Comichron track their sales/print runs?

I doubt what they'll do with VALIANT will change much from what they are doing now, though ideally they'll print in the traditional page count and frequency.

Alien Books does list in Previews: https://previewsworld.com/Catalog/AUG231915

Alien Books does not sell enough copies of anything to appear on Comichron.com (from what I can tell), but Comichron would report Alien Books sales (if they were high enough) since they are listing books in Previews.

Cool. Thanks.
