I don’t have a lot of Valiant art in my media library.
Ari Green of Four Color Media Monitor takes an article from Vulture to task. He uses their attempt to discuss the Valiant comics relaunch to go over what’s what’s wrong with superhero comics versus what the creators THINK is wrong with them.
The covers are now reduced to stock photos and that silly border. Pathetic.

The title isn’t quite correct. This is an op-ed piece on ICv2 that we’re looking at, by Rob Salkowitz, not necessarily the opinions of the website. This makes a better versus title than “BW Vs. Rob Salkowitz”, though, doesn’t it? 😀
When a new year begins everyone usually gets all thinking about the previous year to prepare for the next year. Rob took that to geek culture, which seemed to have a boom in 2014. Superhero movies are on the rise, digital is finding its place in the marketing and purchasing world, there are conventions every week practically–it’s a good time to be a fan of fiction. Salkowitz, however, brings up four concerns that I would like to address, because some I agree with, and some I don’t.
Before we get into this review I need to explain what’s going on. Mixxzine was an anthology of numerous manga. In addition to our review topic this afternoon, they translated Magic Knights Rayearth, Sailor Moon, and a horror series called Parasite, about aliens who take over people’s body parts to wage war on each other or something like that. I didn’t follow Harlem Beat past what we’re seeing here, a collection of pages from the various magazine issues, because I’m not a sports fan. Mixx would collect all four series in trade form. I have some of those for Sailor Moon and all of them for Magic Knights Rayearth. So this is a review of the first story, but is not a review of any actual comic or trade released in the US.
Imagine adding wire-fu to street ball.

The attack by fanatics on a French newspaper that dared speak out against Muslim fanatics has become a rallying point for cartoonists since some controversial ones were killed in the attack. Charlie Hebdo, the name of a French satirical newspaper, may have been silenced but Junkie collected a bunch of other voices that rose to take their place. Like someone else said, don’t mess with cartoonists.
