  1. Just like Hulk 180/181, the market will choose Eternal Warrior or Rai for the one to be the "HOT" book.

     

    Sit back and watch it happen is all we can really do.

    It seems that there are enough people shelling out money for both of these issues right now that there might be a situation where there's no clear winner in the long run. Keep in mind that they're both considered classic covers by Valiant fans.

     

    I find this recent EW4 vs Rai 0 to be hilarious. This debate was settled back in 1993.

     

    Last page cameo = EW4

    1st full appearance and cover, and most important book in valiant history = rai 0

     

    Hasn't changed in 22years, what would make it change now?

     

    I respectively disagree with this.

     

    Historically (primarily due to Wizard's advocacy) EW # 4 was always considered the first Bloodshot, even though was a cameo. Rai 0 was always more expensive because it was the more important _Valiant_ book, but EW 4 the more important Bloodshot book.

     

    Same as with Solar 10 as the first EW, even though that's a cameo, with his first full coming in 11.

     

    Because of that, for decades I've held EW 4 up as a counter-example to Hulk 180-181, where the market decided that the 1st cameo was more important than the 1st full in terms of the character.

     

    Either way, far far more collectors have Rai 0 than EW 4, if only because it was such a key *Valiant* book, regardless of the Bloodshot appearance.

     

    It's not even close EW #4 is the book to have regarding BS. Dealers at shows are holding them back not one was seen at C2E2 I found a few at Big Wow a few weeks back and only a few at Wondercon..

  2. First off I'm not an employee of Valiant I don't get paid from them in anyway or ever have I'm a LIFE long Valiant fan THAT is true. You were right to be skeptical I just joined and look what my first post was..

     

    I do my ear to the ground on what's going on with them. That much is true. I'm not just going to go away I'm done lurking on this thread. I hope to be person who posts here...

     

     

     

     

  3. The Combo packs for Batman 40 aren't scheduled to ship until May or 1 week after normal release.

     

    And as for the Bloodshot Movie? We shall see. The only news from Valiant today was how they are going to have a Retailer Incentive Miniseries. Yes, a Miniseries you will only get copies of if you order enough of another book. Has to do with their Book of Death story, and will be a 4 issue series centric to the Geomancer.

     

    Solar 10 might get some heat off this news.

     

    That's not the News I was referring to yesterday it's coming...

    Awesome! So I should be buying more Rai #0?

     

    Will there be a press conference or just a standard media release?

     

    It should be Eternal Warrior #4...
