Before launching the Valiant Universe with the likes of Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus Robot Fighter, Harbinger, and more, Jim Shooter's Valiant Comics published a handful of Nintendo-licensed comics in 1990-91 based on Mario, Zelda, Game Boy, and Captain N. Is there enough discussion-worthy content within those issues to justify/fill an 82-minute episode? Nope! -- but 1990s game nostalgia / game-adaptation discussions abound! This episode exists to celebrate one of Justin's other podcasts -- the BAY STREET VIDEO PODCAST -- hitting 200 episodes, and devoting an hours-long special subscriber episode to reviewing the new mega boxset of the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie just released from Umbrella Entertainment!

Welcome to another thrilling episode of Play Comics, where we dive into the pixelated playgrounds of our favorite comic book characters and the games that bring them to life. Today, we're dusting off our PS2 controllers and delving into the dark and mysterious world of Shadow Man 2econd Coming. Released in 2002, this game promised a spine-chilling adventure, but did it deliver the voodoo-infused essence of its comic book counterpart? Joining us in this shadowy quest is none other than Patrick Hickey Jr., the mastermind behind Legacy Comix and the Editor in Chief of Review Fix. With his encyclopedic knowledge of all things comics and gaming, Patrick is here to help us unravel whether Shadow Man 2econd Coming truly captures the spirit of the Valiant Universe's enigmatic hero. So, grab your Shadow Guns and prepare to walk between worlds as we explore the eerie corridors of Deadside and beyond. Will the game stand as a faithful homage to its source material, or will it be lost in the abyss of forgotten adaptations? Tune in to find out, and remember, in the world of Play Comics, the only thing scarier than the Grigori demons is a missed episode! Learn such things as: Why would a sequel be on fewer consoles than the original? Does it matter if people don't know about the source material? How does the label of a licensed property set expectations? And so much more! You can find Legacy Comix on Twitter @Legacy_Comix, Instagram @legacy_comix, Facebook @LegacyComix, the Legacy Comix website.

Special guest Justin Cooper joins us tonight to talk about the Valiant series Harbinger and the first book Omega Rising. This episode is sponsored by Deadly Grounds Coffee "Its good to get a little Deadly" https://deadlygroundscoffee.com Retro Dorkening Shirts on Amazon! https://tinyurl.com/dorkshirts Check out Harbinger Omega Rising on Amazon https://amzn.to/3y45deE Published in 2012 written by Joshua Dysart Art by Khari Evans and Lewis Larosa Cover Price $3.99 Super-powered teenager Peter Stanchek is on a dangerous path. Skipping across the country in a desperate attempt to stay one step ahead of the authorities, Peter is quickly realizing that he's a psionically-charged "harbinger" with the potential to reshape the course of human history. But Peter's plight has not gone unnoticed. Respected philanthropist and fellow harbinger, Toyo Harada, is about to offer Peter the chance at the things for which the boy has always longed ― family, inner peace, self-control ― and induct him into the sprawling, secret network of conspiracy and subversion known as the Harbinger Foundation. Now, Peter begins his long road towards a destiny that will shake the very foundations of the Valiant Universe. His first lesson? All power comes with a price! Collecting the first five issues of the critically acclaimed series by New York Times best-selling author Joshua Dysart (Unknown Soldier), acclaimed artists Khari Evans (Carbon Grey) and Lewis Larosa (PunisherMAX), this is the perfect place to catch up with the series that Comic Book Resources calls "superheroes at its best."

As you may be aware, we're all quite big fans of Valiant's comics.With that in mind Matt was quite insistent that we should take a look back on Valiant's 2018 web series Ninjak Vs. The Valiant Universe.It's the first time, and some a lot of characters, the only time to date that we've seen a live action adaptation of some of Valiant's best known characters. While Angela and Zach had both watched the series when it was first released, this was all new to Matt and Will. So tune in to see how we all felt about the series in this collaborative, first impression/rewatch. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A Review of the 4 issue mini series event which brought together all of the Valiant Universe superheroes to battle an immortal enemy! Written by Jeff Lemire & Matt Kindt with art by Paolo Rivera! Plus, debate on the current comic book speculator market, the history of Valiant in the 90s, and whether all potato chips should be called "crisps"! Host: Andy Larson Co Hosts: Chad Smith & JA Scott

The Hero Trade comic book arrived in store with absolutely no fanfare or warning. We received it in the mail with a letter stating the following: Dear comic shop, I am sending you one copy of my first self-published comic, The Hero Trade #1, free of charge. Please don't throw it away. I'd love it if you could put it on your shelf and sell it. If you would like to order more, please email us directly at theherotrade@gmail.com and include your store name/shipping address. Copies are $3 each [shipping included). Just let us know how many you'd like to order by no later than 9/13/20. Thank you in advance for your support. The story was really intriguing, but I passed on buying any due to the price point. If I buy it at $3, I need to sell it at $6 to make my margin. I just didn't think an independent title by an unknown artist/writer would move off the shelf at that price. That coupled with the fact the comic was only about 16 pages long with only 8 pages of actual story. Later it was revealed the story was written by Matt Kindt and art was by David Lapham. You might recognize those two names from such titles as MIND MGT and STRAY BULLETS. A coupla powerhouse names for a supposedly unknown independent comic. We also found out this was another completely outside the box marketing ploy by Bad Idea Comics (Yup, those guys of the Button fame). They announced this would be one of the titles under their new flag. The first official release for Bad Idea will be Eniac (Hero Trade is considered an ashcan). They will re-run the story as part of Eniac #3. I really like the concept behind the story. A low level street guy somehow gets possession of a superhero's body. He is selling off pieces of the body to the highest bidders. On the last page we find out the superhero is not quite dead yet (insert Monty Python monologue here). This will be the first appearance of Captain Fab as well. The only reason I can think they want to mention that is the character must not die. This comic book is selling consistently for $600-$800 on Ebay. There are estimated to only be about 250-300 in existence. There were originally 100 Bad Idea approved stores. I think they expanded that to around 200 in their second wave. Only a coupla stores opted to buy copies for a total of maybe 50 more issues. Considering a lot of stores probably tossed them in the trash... they are kinda rare. Dinesh Shamdasani, Warren Simons, and Hunter Gorinson’s are the ones behind Bad Idea comics.

Is this a movie? Well, kinda. What even is a movie anymore? Yes, it was originally released as a web series, but Valiant posted it as a full feature on YouTube last month, so we think it counts! And it's enjoyable, in its way. Note: The movie with the Alien from the movie Alien is actually Batman: Dead End, not Batman: Dark Justice. We got them confused. Sorry for the mistake!

Red Hulk’s General Ross is already in the MCU, played by William Hurt.The Batman/BatgirlNew rumors (that contradict other rumors) are now floating around that The Batman is going to be similar to Joker in that it will be “its own thing.” Meaning Jim Gordon from one will not be the same in the other, and in fact the role of Jim Gordon is considered “open” as far as casting goes. Also, attached to this rumor is that The Batman will be set in present day, and not the past.Flash/WW84With the Ezra Miller video doing the rounds, it seems that WB is looking to use WW84 as their new reboot vehicle.

Just in time for the movie to come out, Bloodshot (bang bang!) is here in comic book form for the 10th installment of our Arc Analysis series. Disclaimer: This book has a lot of blood and a lot of shots, which is fitting to it's name. It was part of the 2012 Valiant Universe 'reboot', and is the starting point for one of their main flagship characters. It's gory, it's bloody, it's action-y, but do the Weapons dig it? See inside... -- If you want to request a comic book arc for Arc Analysis, hit us up on twitter or e-mail us at ComicPatrolPod@gmail.com --
Across the Pages (AxP) is our series where we take two similar-ish characters/teams/properties from different creators or publishers and give their various forms of media a well-deserved spotlight. This time it's all about spies, MI6 and gadgets galore: James Bond and Ninjak. How similar are these two chaps? Well, aside from body armour and actually being a ninja, pretty damn close. Secret Agent Men, indeed The movies we cover are 1967's You Only Live Twice, and 2018's compiled web-series, Ninjak vs The Valiant Universe. The books we cover are Ninja-K: The Ninja Files (2018) and James Bond, 007 (2019).
Vin Diesel's next big character is set to hit the big screen of March this year, but the two trailers we've gotten look a bit meh... Not that I'm rooting against it but if it's going to work as something new and improved, I need that nano-tech to regenerate some excitement. Being Valiant Comics' best selling product, it made me wonder (if this delivers) will this open up a new comic universe that we've never seen on screen. And if I will get the great opportunity to aee Shadowman as well. Enjoy, folks.

Dwayne McDuffie has stated that the creation of Static was a group effort.[citation needed] Originally developed for Marvel Comics, Static would become a main staple of the Milestone line. Much of the inspiration for Static came from Marvel's Spider-Man. When initially creating the first five characters for Milestone Comics, it was decided that Static would be created as a teenage hero who was a contemporary version of Spider-Man. Static's civilian identity, Virgil Hawkins, was named after a black man who was denied entrance to the University of Florida's law school in 1949.Milestone ceased publishing comics in 1997, but Static was saved from obscurity by The WB animated series Static Shock, which aired for four seasons and led to the 2001 comic book miniseries Static Shock: Rebirth of the Cool. The 2009 trade paperback of this series was nominated for a Glyph Comics Award for Best Reprint Collection.
