VH 2 and Quantum Leap
It occurred to me that there is a certain irony in Acclaim publishing VH 2 (which was created after Aric Dacia changed history when he used the Cosmic Cube to give himself the X-O Manowar armor in 408 A.D. at the end of the Iron Man/X-O Manowar crossover) and soliciting comics based on Quantum Leap (which was about a time traveler that restores history to its proper order by correcting what he consistently discovers were historical mistakes).
The latter was a tacit acknowledgement that the former had a fundamental flaw at its core. A wink and a nod to the audience, heh.
All it would have taken to restore VH 1 would be Sam Beckett leaping into Aric Dacia to stop him from using the Cosmic Cube to give himself the Manowar, heh.

Re: VH 2 and Quantum Leap
So you're telling me that all of Valiant continuity hinges on a licensed comic that was only solicited and never released, and a Marvel crossover that no one read based on an obscure video game? Well, Yeah I guess that makes senseManofTheAtom wrote: Mon Feb 19, 2024 8:58 pm It occurred to me that there is a certain irony in Acclaim publishing VH 2 (which was created after Aric Dacia changed history when he used the Cosmic Cube to give himself the X-O Manowar armor in 408 A.D. at the end of the Iron Man/X-O Manowar crossover) and soliciting comics based on Quantum Leap (which was about a time traveler that restores history to its proper order by correcting what he consistently discovers were historical mistakes).

I still like the old idea that everything in X-O after #44 is a Crescendo induced simulation.

The crossover with Iron Man definitely would have to be, heh.Ryan wrote: Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:09 pmSo you're telling me that all of Valiant continuity hinges on a licensed comic that was only solicited and never released, and a Marvel crossover that no one read based on an obscure video game?

Re: VH 2 and Quantum Leap
That's why I like the Crescendo explanation. Way too much silliness in post-BQ X-O. Some nice art though.ManofTheAtom wrote: Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:12 pmThe crossover with Iron Man definitely would have to be, heh.Ryan wrote: Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:09 pmSo you're telling me that all of Valiant continuity hinges on a licensed comic that was only solicited and never released, and a Marvel crossover that no one read based on an obscure video game?

What comic wasn’t released? I know all those comics came out. I own more than 5 of the Quantum Leap comics, loved the show!Ryan wrote: Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:09 pmSo you're telling me that all of Valiant continuity hinges on a licensed comic that was only solicited and never released, and a Marvel crossover that no one read based on an obscure video game?

Re: VH 2 and Quantum Leap
The ones from Acclaim never came out. You must be thinking of the ones from Innovation.Ramses818 wrote: Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:41 amWhat comic wasn’t released? I know all those comics came out.
