Feel the love!
What a beautiful thread this is for the Valiant Comics podcast. Ask questions, talk Valiant, talk about the show, and get new show announcements here.
Valiant is back in 2012! Might as well party here.

I'd love to see a new Valiant universe with Solar in it though!
Wow so those were licensed? I never thought of that.
Gold Ket does not specifically exist, though the company still exists, as a different name. I believe it is "Golden Books" now, or something like that. Currently, Dark Horse has the license. They've been reprinting the silver age stuff from the 60's in hardcover, and there was the failed relaunch at Dark Horse a year or two back, led by Jim Shooter. Did you read that stuff? It wasn't really that great, unfortunately.
There was a Magnus, Robot Fighter, Doctor Solar, Turok, and Mighty Samson series. It was plagued by delays and throwback writing.
Lots of exciting stuff in this one, check it out!
Also, for our non-loyal listeners, please keep in mind what day it is :)
On another note, I had never read Ultraverse books before recording this episode. I liked them! They are fun comics.
If you want to get a little background, I'd recommend a couple of our recent shows:
Episode 65: X-O Manowar's Greatest Hits - we talk about the best of X-O Manowar from the classic Valiant.
Episode 68: Interview with Joshua Dysart and the Valiant Comics Team - we interviewed Josh Dysart (writer of Harbinger), and almost the entire Valiant Comics publishing team. We talked a lot about what we can expect to see with this relaunch.
We just launched a new website redesign, and I haven't imported all our old episodes to the new site (I have to do it by hand and it takes a while). But everything is available on iTunes.
The next thing I noticed was that even thought you guys were poking fun a lot of the stuff it was very clear you actually liked the stuff on a genuine level.
3rd: one of you sounds like one of the guys from the Game Sack vid cast.
4th: Even if I hadn't known it was a joke I would have been saying to myself thurout the ep that something fishy is going on.
5th:I think I would listen do you guys if you stuck with Ultraverse casts.
PS
The Nightman tv show was not 100% crap.
I think some of the stiffness had to do with how little I knew about Ultraverse. I've read five Ultraverse books in my life, and I read them all in the hour before recording this. We put it together really last minute.
I wanted it to kinda seem like a joke to our long time listeners, but be serious enough that people could genuinely listen to it and enjoy it. I hope that kinda came through.
I appreciate the feedback! I have no idea if we'll continue on with this.
We don't have any specific plans for other dead universes, but you never know.
We throw the Valiant characters into the Thunderdome to discuss who would win in a single elimination tournament.
Episode 69 available now:
