As a VALIANT fan this is an extra cool contest to present for me. It’s about time we have more contests with books with pictures and along with that we have a limited lithograph to offer. We will have two winners, each will walk away with a new copy of newly released Archer and [...]

I just posted my review of Harbinger: The Beginning at the ‘bookspot. This was the hardcover release from VALIANT last year that collected issues 0-7 of the original run by Jim Shooter and Dave Lapham and also included an original 8-page story entitled The Origin of Harada by Jim Shooter and Bob Hall.

I bought this some time ago but I finally got it in the post today. Some people may know I’m a huge fan of Dave Lapham and a huge fan of VALIANT in general and this is the original art from a page in Harbinger#1 (penciled by Lapham). You know how Super Hero teams - [...]

Reading!
Posts have been slim as of late because I am in rededicating myself (had to recharge), and been on a reading/writing splurge.
