Who remembers Valiant Comics? I sure as Hell do.

Harbinger, Solar: Man of the Atom, X-O Manowar, The Second Life of Dr. Mirage, Turok, Bloodshot, and more.

Movie adaptation of Solar? Phuck and yes

I only know Solar.

I didn't get these books when they were originally getting released, But i picked them up elsewhere when they were cheap as chips

from Valiant's ranged i liked Shadow Man & Turok the most.

New run of Valiant books is dope. Don't get nearly enough credit. Harbinger >

Archer & Armstrong would be a kick ass movie to see.

Been thinking they might not be able to do Solar: Man of the Atom & Turok since Dynamite Entertainment owns those licences now, Unless of course they can work something out.

I wanna see Harbinger the most. I loved that series.

First movie will probably be Bloodshot.

I wonder if they are going to try and set u pa Cinematic Universe?

X-O Manowar seems more likely to me.

they just need a good script and actor and X-O should be a good film

Woot


You know, it's a shame so many dead comic companies get bought out by DC or Marvel. Crossgen, Wildstorm, and the like would be cool ones to see happen too, but that's not likely. Glad things are branching out.


(Hm, Astro City...? Not sure if it's creator owned or DC's rights)

Bloodshot could be done for cheaper.
You start with a cheaper one first. My candidate is Jefrey Donovan.

A Bloodshot movie is further along then most people think it is.....Sony is making it

VALIANT ANNOUNCES FILM UNIVERSE WITH "BLOODSHOT," "HARBINGER" AND "HARBINGER WARS"

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/valiant-announces-film-universe-with-bloodshot-harbinger


Bloodshot to be directed by the John Wick directors.

XO Manowar, Eternal Warrior, Magnus Robot Fighter, HARD Corps plx!!!!!

I collected more Valiant comics than either Marvel and DC back in the day.

XO, Magnus, Bloodshot, ArcherNArmstrong, HARD Corps, Harbingers, Eternal Warrior, Psi Lords, Rai, Solar, Armorines, Solar even Turok at times.

The idea of them making Movie adaptions is giving me nerdgasms.

Edit. Forgot the limited run of The Visitor. Epic battles vs The Harbinger there.

Remember Harbinger.

I never really had access to the comic's when they were originally getting released, Mostly picked them up elsewhere when they were cheap as chips at cheap/Bargain shops

mainly got my hands on Turok, Shadowman, Magnus Robot Fighter, Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot & 1 issue of X-O.

With Sony and another investor.

This is not an old school superhero universe. It's characters are mostly walking the dark and grey zones of morality. Bloodshot is government super soldier who rebels and Harbinger is basically gifted psiots saga but it definetely has a different feel when compared to X Men.

Good news to wake up to today. Loving the influx of unknown super hero movies. Thank you to Guardians for showing how its done.

The Bloodshot Film To Take Cues From Robocop & Terminator

Never got into any valiant comics but this sounds interesting if done right.

Most of the old comics are pretty cheap and easy to pic up. But they aint all laden down with drippy tween emo drama like current comics.

I bought a ton of Valiant comics at the time when I was collecting pretty heavy but nothing really stuck. If they were smart, they would do some Netflix stuff first to introduce those characters to more people.

How is that any different to doing a movie?......not alot of people knew who alot of the Marvel character's were when they started out.

Cheaper budget, less advertising, and an opportunity for more exposure due to TV being more accessible.

People didn't know who Spiderman, Hulk, Captain America, and Wolverine was? What rock were they living under? People who dont read comic books know who those characters are.

Come on man. For every 100 people that know Spiderman, you would be lucky if 5 or so knew who Bloodshot or XO-Manowar were. Those Marvel characters have been staples in modern society for 50 years or better while the Valiant characters have never taken off.

Any release dates for these? It's sad that Valiant is mostly late to the party when it comes to comicbook movies.

First of all, this guy has hair and doesn't look anything like Vin Diesel.

Second, Vin's not really young anymore.

You're free to but this idea with Riddick himself in the role does little to nothing for me. Poor choice if they do proceed with Vin himself.they need a younger guy for the role but I've never been into this comic book character anyways so it does little to nothing to stimulate my palette.

Ultimately I agree. Comics still get a reaction out of me occasionally, but I haven't been able to get excited by Marvel movies much at all.

There goes my excitement for that movie. Bloodshot is an awesome character too.

Valiant Comics started out so great back in the day..but man did it crash and burn hard there at the end.

I still wanna see Harbinger and Ninjak, personally.

I would like to Shadowman and see all the Voodoo related stuff brought to life, Also wouldn't mind seeing Turok too but its a shame they don't own his license anymore

I meant Back in the Days of the Original Universe, before Acclaim bought it up.

And as for now Valiant is doing Mediocre at Best.

And Yes. The Turok book was the best. Shadowman was cool as well, at least while it was Jack Boniface it was cool.

Current Valiant isn't mediocre, they publish the best comics, by a landslide. Image has a few independent titles that are as good, but as a whole it's Valiant all the way.

Oh I don't doubt they put out better stuff then DC and by far SJW MARVEL by far, but sales wise.

The Golden Days of Paper Comics are long gone.

^ i doubt it, Valiant no longer has Magnus robot fighter's license.

Turok?


A series about badass Native Americans that does not treat them as cannon fodder, ignorant, or abused?


Hell yes.

Its a shame they don't have Turok's license too.

The Second Life of Doctor Mirage was kooky goodness.

Just a bit, yeah!

I'm just going to say I hope this turns out better than it looks.

It doesn't necessarily look Last Witch Hunter bad, but it doesn't look particularly good.

The Bloodshot trailer looks great.

This movie should've been R rated with the material that they're using, Instead they went with PG-13...then again it could be still good. Could push what they can do with that rating.

Yeah. I don't know what the budget is, but if they went R-rated they'd probably have to drop it a lot.

I don't like that Box Office Mojo changed and it's harder to find the budget for movies now.

Pretty cool poster.

Bump.

Comes out next week. Please don't suck.


I watched The Last Witch Hunter again the other day and realized I think I slept through most of it when I saw it at the cheap theater, haha. Large chunks of it I didn't remember at all. I only missed a neat set piece or two, but the film is pretty much crap. Maybe a very guilty pleasure for some of the effects and set pieces, but mostly just crap.

First couple blurbs appeared on RT and they're relatively positive. But I'm still expecting this to get pretty shit reviews over all...

This looks like it'll be ass, but I'm going to watch it tomorrow, in the mood for an action flick.

^^^enjoy the trailers!

The trailers gave me that early 2000s comic book movie vibe, and not in a good way.

Saw this.

Didn't like it at all.

**** it then, doubt I'll go if it's getting that bad of reviews.

prolly will see on sunday

Flop of the year. Looks absolutely honking.

If it really is that bad, Oh well so much for that Valiant cinematic universe that they wanted.

That's exactly what I'm planning to do. Love those $5.40 tickets on Tuesday!

Saw this, had a couple free tickets due to my movie club membership, so I took my son. It was dirty ass, not the worst thing I've seen, but still dirty ass.

My son liked it, but he's also eleven. My eleven-year-old-self would have also liked this.

Glad your son enjoyed it.

Not sure what you mean by "dirty ass," though. lol. Care to clarify?

I'm expecting nothing more than some brainless, machismo fun (and I hope some neat sci-fi visuals).

Clean ass is nice

Dirty ass, is not nice

Pretty much what you'll get. The characters are all thin cookie-cutter style heroes, anti-heroes and villains.

^ Yeah, basically.

The plot was predictable, but worst of all it sort of felt like it was starting over again every 15 or 20 minutes. Some of the action was sort of cool, but other parts were just sort of disorienting and too chaotic. But yeah, I don't blame the bad reviews for it. It's not horrible, but it's also pretty forgettable. And they showed all the best money shots in the trailers.

The little microscopic nanobots in his blood were cool, though.

Oh, and no post credit scenes. I wish I had known, because I snuck some beer in and really had to pee.

Watch it for free

Um, there's probably NO movie I would recommend spending $20 on. Jesus.. If you can catch a bargain Tuesday showing like dynamix and I did that's the ideal scenario.

Oh, another thing. It seems that the movie was a partnership with some Chinese production company, so it was clearly aimed at a big Chinese market. I wonder if COVID-19 is going to kill the film in China, too. If so the movie is doomed. Unless they do some re-release after it all calms down. *shrug*
