Valiant Central

For our twelfth episode we have a massive podcast convergence (err…ok, wrong publisher) as Mr. Darrell Taylor from the Valiant Podcast, and the Taylor Network of Podcasts joins Paul and I on a very special episode of the Valiant Central Podcast!

In this episode, we discuss the history of the Valiant Podcast and Darrell’s network, and dive into some of our favorite Valiant moments. We also learn about what it’s like to be really passionate about something you love, especially when it comes to comics. This episode is a long one (and may have some profanity), but we had a blast.

Darrell is @TheVoice123, Paul is @whospaul and I am @Valiant_Central on Twitter. Also, feel free to send us email feedback [email protected]

Welcome to another episode of the Valiant Central Podcast, bring you real talk, and interviews from fans just like you!

This week, Paul and I are joined by site contributor and Valiant superfan Amy Okamoto and we talk a little bit about some of favorite female characters at Valiant.

Then, we are joined by Harbinger and Imperium writer Joshua Dysart and have a great discussion on his work at Valiant, his work aboard, the World Food Program, and get many of the questions that were submitted to us answered. A huge thanks to Josh for joining us this week, we really enjoyed having him on. If you’d like to skip directly to the interview section, fast forward to about minute 18.

This week, Paul and I are joined by Chris from the VCR podcast, and Tyler from All-Comic.com to discuss the evolution of Harbinger into what has become Imperium.

We take particular interest in the relationship between Harada, Peter, and the Bleeding Monk, and how this trio has shaped those around him, and themselves – and of course, there was Sunlight on Snow talk. If you haven’t read Harbinger or aren’t up to date on Imperium, this should be a great primer you, and older fans may find some food for thought. Next week, we will be talking to Joshua Dysart himself about these books so it starts here!

You can find Chris on the Valiant Comics Review and the Canadian Valiant Fan Club. Tyler is the Editor-in-Chief over at All-Comic, be sure to follow his great work there.

We also speculate a bit about the future of Unity, Shadowman and the Valiant universe, and talk a little bit about how to get new readers to read Valiant books.

Another week has come to an end and to get you ready for the weekend, we bring you one of the most fun episodes we've done so far thanks to our special guest, Michael Myers from the Valiant Podcast. Mike is one of the funniest people we know and his love for comics, Valiant and otherwise, is second to none. We talked to Mike about podcasting, collecting comics, trade waiting and why physical comics are so much better than digital. We also talk about what makes the hobby of comics so much different than everything else and what makes it so special, as well as tons of Valiant and comic book history. This is one of episode you don't want to miss (ok, you don't want to miss any episode).

This week, we had the pleasure of spending some time with artist extraordinaire Tom Fowler, one of the creative talents behind the relaunch of Quantum and Woody. We tackled all kinds of interesting topics from working at Valiant, his dislike of Ninjak, working on HowToons, future projects, education, Dungeons and Dragons and...cannibalism? We dive deep into his creative process and what makes him such a unique talent. Huge thanks to Tom for joining us.

It's the end of another week, which means it's time for another episode of the Valiant Central Podcast! This week, we're joined by Sean Neprud from the infamous Only The Valiant podcast. We had a great chat with Sean about the history of OTV, and what it was like to be a Valiant fan during the lean years where no books were coming out.

In episode 3 we have our very first guest, Joshua Eves! If the name sounds familiar, Josh hosts the terrific Valiant Effort podcast where he and his buddy Nick review Valiant trades. In their last couple of episodes, they shared Josh’s wife Karyn’s experience teaching Harbinger Volume 2: Renegades to a group of high school students so we talk a little bit about that, the importance of comics in education, and delve a little into the past and talk some Valiant history from the publisher’s previous incarnation.
