Becoming Valiant: A Valiant Comics Podcast Podcast

Same old Goadkicker but shifting gears to Valiant Comics! Join Carl D Smith as he reads through his massive Valiant collection, and reflects on life along the way. Think of it as a Bible study but without a Bible, and add a goat. "It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant." Henry Ward Beecher

    Valiant in 2012 Part 2 - Archer and Armstrong 1-6

    At casual glance it seems odd that the 2012 reboot started with Archer & Armstrong among the first four titles. Not as high profile to non-valiantheads as a Ninja or Rai, but incredibly important to fleshing out the setting and tone of the new Valiant Universe. Bonus points for material that is key to the upcoming Resurgence.

    As we prepare to see a new begining of sorts for the Valiant Universe, let's look back at the start of this current continuity.

    Does Valiant have a house style?

    Sometimes you can pick up a book and just tell it's by a particular writer, from a specific era, or by a certain publisher. Has Valiant ever had its own flavor? Has it changed? Does Alien have one yet? What mission statements exist at our favorite companies, how do our expectations factorvin, and what happens when our palate and the flavor no longer match?

    Harbinger Wars Compendium

    in 2018 DMG-led Valiant was trying with shelf presence, specifically offering larger, chronically ordered collections to consumers increasingly enamored with shelf candy and the siren song of "all in one" omnibus editions. We'll look at both the appeal and value of this Valiant compendium, a line that did not continue beyond this volume, and the attitude towards shelf editions on general.
