You know,This sure was a great line of comics back in 91-93. I have some 
200 or more in my collection.I read that they are cutting back to just 4 
titles a month,as the big summer session nears.Thats the time of year 
most publishers do their best to get a title out.Even at this late 
date,I think that Jim Shooter could revive this company,but after the 
way he was treated, It would take a LOT of crawling by Massery to get 
him back.I think that its going to be a long time before Shooter ever 
works in the comics field again. I had high hopes for his defiant line, 
but the characters & concepts didnt grab me. His Broadway line looked 
better,but just as I was giving it a chance it went down.who knows if 
any of the titles or announced titles will ever see print. I think that 
one of the things that lost some fans, is that a promise was broken, to 
have a price rollback,once the company got on its feet,& that never 
happened. It would have been an industry first,& would have won the 
respect of fandom. Overall,Fandom as a whole never held valiant up to 
that pledge. Im sure that if Shooter had stayed,he would have made sure 
it was honored. After valiant went up, everyone else followed their 
lead, & also jacked their prices.
