Valiant has been through many changes through the years, and many of these changes have resulted in ups and downs in the publishing activity of the characters we love. Valiant Comics fans have been there along the way to experience these changes, and the ups and downs that go with them.
Ten years ago, when Only The Valiant first began publishing episodes, Valiant was in the midst of a number of changes, which would eventually lead to the relaunch of Valiant Comics in 2012.
Now, we are faced with another change: DMG has purchased full ownership of Valiant, and the leadership that forged the Valiant Universe for the last six years has been forced out, or has left the company. We haven’t yet fully seen the new shape of Valiant, and it is not clear that things will stay up, or if we may see another downturn.
The original OTV duo, Sean and Chiclo, get together to discuss the changes happening at Valiant as a result of this purchase by DMG, what the changes may mean, what we might expect as a result, and what we will be paying attention to as this story develops.
As we meander, we discuss some of the great hits of the last few years, and some of the Classic Valiant comics of yesteryear, and what we saw as the Classic Valiant comics declined due to the purchase by Acclaim.
How hard do we think it will be for Valiant to keep the publishing line going like it has? What is the bgest case scenario? What is the worst case scenario?
