Even Shooter's involvement could not save the "Dark Key" line. The art doomed it, IMHO. The physical books are nice, though, and they do have a throwback quality to them. You can pick up full runs every so often for a few dollars a book sometimes.
The GK properties were excluded from the VEI reboot only because VEI could not strike a deal to get the licenses for them. There was a ton of drama when Shooter left VEI to bootstrap the "Dark Key" books... all part of why VEI could not get them to license the properties.
Anyway, there is no one more nostalgic for the pre-Unity and Unity valiant era than me. Not only has it been my lifelong collecting focus, it was the crux of my side business while I was pretending to be a comic dealer while attending college. I believe it was the 1992 or 1993 New York City Javitz convention that I was set up at with almost every book on my display board a pre-unity valiant. It was quite a time.
