VEI Reborn

If you can get me a 10.2 , I am in.

Being a Valiant fanatic....... there is literally no better way to describe Valiant collecting lmao!

So....... get a new artist. I like Nates work but he isn't the best ever of all time. Simply replace him and move on. If it was Nate and he down the line got his sheat together then bring him back on. I have a hard time believing it was Nate just for that simple task [of replacing him]. Before someone says it is not a simple task, this is ES we are talking about and a pretty popular book at the time. He could literally snap his finger and have people jumping at the opportunity Not sticking up for Nate as I watched what went down but I dealt with him twice for a few thousand bucks and he got my stuff out very quickly. Just another side to the coin. Oh, yeah. There's two sides. Unless NB has partial rights to the property, getting a new artist should have been fairly easy. Also, the variants for number 1 may have been a bit of a cash grab. Some criticism is fair. I just don't think ES should be utterly pilloried for his handling of NWM. Owning a few different businesses myself, I would rather hire a replacement for a partner and keep the sales coming in then do absolutely nothing with that business. I suppose making a profit comes into play here but I would have to think hiring a fill in would still leave room for profit even if there was a partnership with Nate. Just thinking out loud I guess.

TRANSLATION: E.S. is incompetent with regards to handling problems professionally. He's the head honcho, the big 'cheese' after all over at Image. If there's a problem with the story, he's the one writing it and no-one else is to blame. If there's a problem with the artist, hire another or hire an assistant to ease the burden. If anyone was in a position to eliminate the issues or nonsense driving the delays E.S. was in it. He demonstrated that he clearly cannot and furthermore demonstrated immeasurable disrespect to the fan base by not acknowledging the shortcomings earlier in a transparent way. That's pretty harsh. From the narrative, it's clear that Nate was the problem, and I respect ES for not throwing him under the bus, no matter how frustrated he was. I still recall Nate's excuses for not getting a boardie's purchased OA out to him in a reasonable amount of time. If you guys want to rail against someone, I'd suggest NB. Also, with ES's position in Image, how constructive would it have been to have aired the dirty laundry? To me, it would have been damaging to Image for ES to point fingers. Image has a sterling reputation as a home for indy projects, and I'm sure ES was well aware that publicizing the trouble with the book could have affected that. So....... get a new artist.

Prices still seem to be fairly decent. Not as crazy as they were sure but not bad in the grand scheme. It was an awesome series and I have a good deal of OA [only book I ever bought any for] and I will certainly pick up #7 when it comes out in 2019 but man what a disappointment. Oh well, plenty of AWESOME books out right now If the trend continues, your OA from this series will be rare. Haha! No question.

I never got into the skittle covers. I was all washed up from buying so many reg covers

Guess I should have sold the couple hundred copies I have awhile ago. lolol You win some and you lose some

So yea, another good issue. So glad the wait is over

Ill take one of each. Thanks!

Please be East of West version 2. I always have room in the stable for thoroughbreds. Ding ding! Ill take it (thumbs u

For me it is a no brainer.... EoW hands down.

I have 3 sets. Always keep my eye open for more

Did you click the link to their example? ;-)

I agree! Been a good ride so far.

Agree 100% I was nearly p-ing myself laughing

Yes it is. I haven't seen resurrection, but I think it's funny (and sad) they ripped this from the comic. I understand the connection with NBC, but Resurrection is nothing like Revival. Neither is the short story The First that led into The Returned which Resurrection is based off of. The only similarity is that people are coming back from the dead. I have read the short story, the book and watched every episode of the show so far. Personally I feel very confident that Revival would/will make a better show but I do no feel anything was ripped from Revival.

So.....anyone still enjoying the story?

Anyone find Nate and see whats up??

He was on fire back then. He was also putting out Ult Team-Up at that time. Alias was great. Glad to see the positive interest in the character/book. Well deserved. Only concern is that I don't think it's too rare. Pat Alias, 1, $2.99, Marvel, 52,379

Personally I am loving the book again as of late. Might want to pick up the trades and catch up. Just my .02

I haven't opened the flood gates yet.
