It would be nice if Barry Windsor Smith would do a signing. I'd like to get some Valiant books signed without breaking the bank.

I met him like 30 years ago in NYC.  I got him to sign this for me (stock image, mine isn't scanned):

Got Jim Lee and Frank Miller to sign their covers too.  Not able to meet Toth I'm afraid, but Gary Ginanni who did a story in that issue signed it for me.

I did hear though, that apparently he stopped signing Valiant Comics. My understanding is that someone involved with one of the valiantfans board projects that involved getting BWS to sign a bunch of comics absconded with the signed books, or the money raised that was supposed to go to charity, or some other nefarious deed. But that was before I joined the board there.

I actually just poked in a little while ago, but otherwise have not been there in ages either. Stopped visiting regularly when Dinesh & co left Valiant

All I heard at FCBD at the local shops I went to was this. 

X-men 97 is fantastic repeatedly.

Is it translating to any Copper X-men sales?

The Storyline currently is affecting late copper early modern sales quite a bit. 

Next season will probably still in the early modern era for a while, but 1st issue
appearances have spiked a few in Copper.

There were plenty of people looking for the 1st appearance of Gambit and anything Gambit + Rogue at the Calgary Expo. That was XMen 97 related demand.

As @awakeintheashes just mentioned in the Revival thread, the book has been given the series order at SyFy, and all of the cheap slabs have disappeared from eBay and MCS. Of course, plenty more have already taken their place, but they're now priced at $100-$150 instead of the under $50 you could have picked them up for a couple of days ago. Great series, hope the show doesn't blow.

Fantastic. I will have to pull the copies, including a couple of #1s, I had in the $2 boxes that sat with no takers for a few years now.

I sold my FCBD 2012 with the Revival peek. I forgot I had it listed in my eBay store for $5 

But I did find 3 raw copies NM on Atomic Avenue

I will believe it when I see it on TV this isnt the first go around.

Always a good idea, but this time they have the actual series order, whereas last time I think it was just optioned, right? So, it seems likely to happen this time, for whatever that's actually worth.

Yeah, last time it was optioned and an ABC show stole the concept, so it was dead before it could really get off the ground.
