Valiant Central

Last week, we streamed our first episode live to listeners and it was a blast! After the live stream stopped, we kept on chatting though and this is what came about...the first episode of Valiant Central After Dark. Beware of spoilers!

 

In this episode, we dive deep into "Book of Death: The Fall of Ninjak" and talk about the implications of some of what's happened and come up with some crazy theories (as always). Could Spylocke be a positronic version of Ninjak? What are the Harbinger Trials? Can we get the next hundred years' worth of stories right now? Tune in and find out!

Did you know that if you look up Friday in the dictionary you will see a description of the Valiant Central podcast? True story.

This week, Paul and Martin are joined by Julian Ferretti, @jazeck on Twitter, to discuss the future of Unity, the implications behind some of what happens in "Book of Death: The Fall of Ninjak" (no spoilers), and so much more! We also take a few listener questions as this is our first live streamed episode! We had so much fun doing it, we'll definitely be doing more live shows in the future. If you want to be a part of that, head on over to http://www.nerdylegion.com/listen Wednesdays at 8:30PM EST to join the conversation.

Welcome to another episode of the Valiant Central Podcast!

 

This week, Paul and Martin take a step back and talk about all the things they love about Valiant comics, and the comic world in general. We offer an introduction to the various Valiant-related podcasts and groups available online and discuss why it's important to have your own voice when it comes to finding books that you love to read.

Welcome to another episode of the Valiant Central podcast, coming to you every week with the best Valiant Comics discussion.

This week, Paul and Martin are joined by Adam Shaw of the Renegades: Talking Valiant podcast over at Talking Comics, and we discuss everything from the comic book scene in Japan, how we all got started with Valiant, what we think the state of Valiant Comics is currently, and where it may go in the future.

Welcome to a new episode of the Valiant Central Podcast. As we enter our 30s, we figure we would take a step back from shenanigans to get into some serious Valiant Comics discussion.

We start off talking about what it means to be a Valiant fan, and the interesting dynamic that we have seen among the groups and various podcasts over the past couple of years and how varied our origins and experiences are. We also dive a bit into the latest issue of Ninjak, how amazing Stormwatch was under Warren Ellis, and how Valiant's event books have evolved over the years from Harbinger Wars, to Armor Hunters, to Book of Death.

A huge thanks to Nick Wetmore for joining us. You can find Nick on Twitter @NickWetmore and on the upcoming Nerdy Legion Podcast.

Welcome to another episode of the Valiant Central Podcast, the show where we take Valiant universe, and process it through our demented brains to bring you in-depth high quality this discussion - ok, so most week we do that.

This week, Paul and Martin are joined by a special guest, Joshua Schwartz from band, A Sound of Thunder. Some of you may remember the band from their "Punk Mambo" single that was released with the Valiant Humble Bundle some months back. They have been hard at work on a killer follow-up album called "Tales from the Deadside" which is currently on Kickstarter and is inspired by the latest run of Shadowman. In this episode, we talk a little bit about Unity, but really kick things into high gear as we dive into the bands' influences and inspiration for the album, why Shadowman is such a great series to base a metal album on, how the band hooked up with Valiant, and so much more!

Be sure to check out all the links below to learn more about A Sound of Thunder, and their Kickstarter, and be sure to pledge today for some amazing rewards.

Get ready for an action-packed show filled with nerdy discussion as this week, Paul and Martin are joined by friend of the show Pedro Soto, and Mike Myers and Chris Campbell from the Valiant Podcast to talk comics.

 

We kick off with a little Book of Death talk, as everyone shares their positive stories of how the book's launch and reaction went at their local shops, the state of the comic industry, and why Diamond can't seem to get their stuff together.  We also talk a little Archie, Secret Six and Justice League, and finally let Mike chime in on one of the most underrated fantasy movies of all time, Dragonslayer. Also we wonder, why is Pedro hiding in the closet? Tune in to find out!

 

Be sure to check out Mike and Chris (along with friend of the show Darrell Taylor) on the Valiant Podcast.

Welcome to another episode of the Valiant Central Podcast!

In this episode, we are once again joined by our good friend Joshua Eves from the Valiant Effort and Ivar's Longbox podcasts to discuss the first issues of both Book of Death and Legends of the Geomancer. Be forewarned, if you haven't yet read those issues, there will be major spoilers again, but we hope that our discussion will help you understand the books a little more. 

 

Additionally, be sure to check out the Annotated Book of Death #1 over at All-Comic.com for further in-depth analysis of the book.

We usually release new episodes on Friday but we wanted to wait until San Diego Comic Con 2015 to see if Valiant had any juicy announcements...and they kind of did. This week, Paul and Martin are joined by Brett Simon from the Talking Valiant podcast!

First, we talk about James Asmus taking over writing duties in Unity with issues #23 and #24 and discuss what this could mean for the future of Unity and whether it means the book is headed towards cancellation.

Then, we get into a heated discussion abou retailer incentives. It seems that Valiant is pretty happy with how the Book of Death sales went and would like to offer more retailer incentives in the future. We don't have any details yet, but we spend a good bit of time talking about whether we would buy yet another retailer incentive, whether it's fair to fans, and Martin goes on a bit of a rant about how mad these shenanigans are making him.

Be sure to check out Valiant Database to get tons of info on EVERY Valiant comic. We'll be back on Friday!

You know what happens on Fridays? A new episode of the Valiant Central Podcast is what!Yes, we're back on schedule and we couldn't be more excited.

Paul and Martin sit and discuss the announcements and what their implications are for fans. If you weren't able to catch the live stream, you can probably still find it by downloading Periscope and finding Valiant Comics, or follow the links at All-Comic below.
