What are some ways to catch up on classic valiant reading? I got the masters HC books down. Any TPB that aren't super rare or expensive? Is the rai flipbooks from Magnus 5-8 covered in any collected format?

I am really getting deep here with some of the characters but after re-reading all the pre-unity and unity story line again over the past few weeks, I want to make sure I have those books as well. Is the Lydia in X-O the same character that Shadowman befriended for a few issues?

Also out the Geomancers, who would you all consider the most important and do any show up in the new valiant era? Khanit Buck McHenry Geoff McHenry Lucinda Mendez Yuri Pierce Ana Kawainui Rokland Tate Aram Anni-Padda Kay McHenry

Is there a list someone that shows which V1 characters are now in the Valiant Entertainment era? Also in contrast to that main or semi-main characters that are not or haven't yet appeared in the Entertainment Era. One of my favorite V1 characters was X-O Commando (Kazuyo Nakadai). I haven't read all of the new stuff by far but am trying to catch up. Just wanted to know if there were suggestions of reading for classic characters. Also loved Unity and MotherGod (Erica Pierce), now why doesn't CGC recognize Solar #1 as her first appearance? She was the key villain to the entire thing.

What ya got? Sell them to me

Tought call, Probably the Rai 0 CGC 10.0 but "just to have" I prefer the Bloodshot #0 Platinum Error I'll have to take a look at the census to see how many Rai 0 10.0 there are. There is 1 Rai #0 CGC 10 and Valiantman owns it. I would have to say the Rai has surpassed the Bloodshot platinum. Rai 0 10.0 is more of a CGC rarity than a Valiant rarity, IMO. On a given day any 10.0 could be a 9.9 or vice versa. A Bloodshot #0 error is what it is and there just aren't many out there. Not knocking your book, Valiantman. It's awesome - just prefer the Bloodshot Agreed - there is a chance that another Rai #0 could be graded CGC 10. They've graded 500+ copies, with four CGC 9.9 and one CGC 10... so far. However, there is not a chance that another Valiant comic will be the first comic ever graded CGC 10. CGC has graded 21,000+ Valiant comics, making at least $300,000 from grading fees. Only one will ever be the first CGC 10 Valiant. CGC 10.0 Rai #0 on November 14, 2001. that's history right there. Nice book indeed.

Rai 0 all the way! #best valiant book ever

Great question! Me want to know as well! I wouldn't mind some 9.9 in my collection

Made some slight modifications for you

so with the news announced what are the key characters involved in the Harbinger Wars. For some reason I never read this series, will be going to the LCS this weekend to pick up the TPB.

dont' know if valiant can get anymore hotter but with the sweet news just announced I think Bloodshot and harbinger will see some even more interest!

Nice find. So funny to me because I don't ever recall some of these keys ever being dollar books even during the crash. Rai 0 is still the single best valiant issue ever

Jimmy Olsen 134 9.8 just ended at $6750 on feebay. Wow!

Love the new bleeding cool article on speculating. Buy bloodshot and harbinger new and old and sell TMNT Donatello

Sorry this comparison isn't remotely close.

From Marvel's website: So even Marvel know's there were vast changes made to the character from when she was introduced as a blonde British lady to becoming an Asian spy. If we're just going to throw random facepalms at people, then please, allow me to give your rebuttal a few of these: In the section you quote, the "new powers" include: 1) a temporary ability to be undetectable to machines, which happened in #227 before she entered the Siege Perilous, and ended when she entered it, so that is moot 2) teleportation powers from The Crimson Dawn, which didn't even first appear until #330 3) and powers she gained by swapping abilities with Jean Grey, which has nothing to do with going through the Siege Perilous and again happened much later So do all the issues where she gains these three other sets of powers also represent the debuts of entirely new characters? The only supposed "new power" she gained with #256 was the psychic knife -- which wasn't a new power at all, but simply a focused manifestation of her telepathy/mental bolts, which she could already do. The fact that she looked Asian and had a new costume, I mean, so what? Just because the graphic redesign was successful in making the character more popular does not make it her first appearance. Really???

Valiant in the 1990s licensed Solar, Magnus, and Turok. Magnus only existed in the year 4001+, so he wasn't really part of the 1990s storyline. Turok was not a big part of the Valiant universe until later (and he existed in the lost land "out of time" for the most part). Solar was the licensed character with the most importance to the original Valiant universe. This character, Divinity, is god-like with unknown levels of power (at this point) who is possibly a replacement for Solar in some aspects. On the other hand, he's an African-Russian from the 1960s who has been part of a Soviet space program that disappeared 50 years ago. Now he's back doing we-don't-really-know-what in Australia... and Matt Kindt is the writer. Still, it's a four-issue mini-series, so if they kill him... well, that will end it pretty quickly. I called this on the valiant boards the other day. I think long term this will be huge. Really the first new Valiant Entertainment Character with own title. Love this book. I am surprised no copies out there yet graded at least by the census. These are sold out just about everywhere and all variants are long gone. The first print regular cover is still my favorite

if people actually read the books they would see the HUGE difference in the two psylocke characters and would say WTF who is this BRIT chick, not even remotely close to the Asian Ninja version which we all know and love

Eternal Warrior #5 is about 100,000 copies. Here's an old page with info about Valiant print runs 1991-1996: http://www.valiantarchive.com/valiant/printchart.php thanks, nice not as bad as I thought

TEAM SILK

I loved seeing those charts with pre-unity print numbers. Are there any post-unity print numbers available? I would love to see eternal warrior 5 numbers for instance. thanks to whoever does all this hard work!

awesome, even more reason to like this book now

Ninjak #1 just cracked the Top 100.
