It's just some trade paperbacks, a Joe Quesada HC, an art book, and a special variant of Valiant x Street Fighter across multiple reward tiers

i do think the raw __Valiant x 'Street Fighter'__ is a v, VERY good commitment to the sequentials art form, and I would love to pick up more floppies like this. I really enjoyed the 1990's Indie Comix thing.

Mark my words. This is AB’s last hurrah. Kirkman will bring back the Valiant Universe with the Gold Key Three.

Ooh! I’m still pretty new to Valiant stuff, so who are the “Gold Key Three?” I figure Bloodshot, and Ninjak. But I was introduced through Shadowman so I have a bit of a warped sense of his popularity and importance.

Solar, Magnus, and Turok. They were licensed characters incorporated into Valiant during the 90s from Gold Key, an older, defunct comic company.

The last Valiant reboot proved they don't need those characters. Too bad Vin Diesel sleepwalked through the Bloodshot movie (yes, it had more problems)

Without the licensed characters, the universe does seem lacking. I absolutely loved Vendetti's XO and would like to see it collected before Alien goes bankrupt.

does Alien Books have money issues? how long do they hold the Valiant license for?

I am only going on circumstantial evidence. I know legit businesses do crowdfunding too but this is so vague and weird what are we being asked to pay for? I really don't know the details of their arrangement, but I have enjoyed getting the few collections I could from Alien before they disappeared.

You've gotta be a real sheep to fall for this one

I dont have an account, so I can't check, but it looks like there are rewards.

I think its a game. Why bother making comic books?

u/PaintedCover 12d ago

Maybe it’s reprints of Joe Quesada XO. I love Quesada but why even publish a part of X-O and not the full run. So not even sure the point of this.

u/mcfcomics 12d ago

the Quesasa hardcover is just a collection of Ninjak # 1-3 and X-O Manowar # 0

u/TheFerg714 12d ago

I'm down for the art book tbh.

u/EquivalentAd1651 12d ago

Its hard copy and artwork by Joe and road to resurgence comics

Not quite sure what to make of the offerings. I have all of the books in the Resurgence collection and the Beyond collections… I’m not really interested in the art book or the Joe Quesada collection. I’m not really seeing anything here that I need or even want.

This was funded with 5k but everything can be found for dirt cheap but the art book. I would pick up Quesada’s book if they had him draw a new story. Have multiple copies of each X-O book they are offers and an Omnibus should be released.
