Only The Valiant

The Following Speaks for itself:

• Doctor Solar
• Magnus Robot Fighter
• Free Comic Book Day
• Review and discussion

We talk about Free Comic Book Day, and spend plenty of time on the Dr. Solar/Magnus issue that has relaunched those titles at Dark Horse, brought to us by Jim Shooter, Dennis Calero, and Bill Reinhold.

Some things are great! Some things are not so great! This is the first we’ve seen these characters in print in over a decade, so we are rather excited to say the least. Excited like we were for Phantom Menace? Maybe. Excited like we are for the latest Lady Gaga video? Possibly. Excited in another way entirely? Listen and find out now.

When you are done listening, send in your feedback about what you thought of this issue.

It’s time for our 24th episode, and an in-depth look at one single issue, the eponymous Rai #0! We discuss:

• The impact this issue had at the time, and our initial reactions when it came out
• The story nuggets in this book, and where they show up in other Valiant books
• The final fate of Shadowman… or not!
• Inconsistencies between this book and later Valiant material
• The auspicious editor column in this issue
• Our One Year Anniversary! Congratulations us!
• A brand new segment, Recent Reads
• …and a whole lot more! This is a long one, buckle up!

We take you back to December, 1993, a month when the Valiant Universe celebrated Christmas. We explore the Valiant holiday season. This is the perfect episode to go along with your favorite comics, staying warm by the fire, and enjoying a cup of cocoa (or something stronger!). The weather outside is frightful, but this episode is so delightful. This episode has all the Valiant goodness you could hope for.
