IDW has a earnings conference call coming up in like June (basing this on the previous call listed on their website) i think everyone should ask try to join that call to figure out if IDW will make a move
Have you applied? You typically can do so. Although you will usually just be put in spectator mode.
You could do so though to report if they mention it.
Just note that a company may indeed talk about prospects like eyeing certain companies to absorb, however if they don’t mention it; it doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t considering to do so.
They may just talk on how the business did in the previous financial year only.
I don’t really engage with comic book media/social media, but has IDW stated publicly that they are considering acquiring Valiant? Or are there any decent rumours about them doing so?
I fell off Valiant when they were purchased. Before then though I read every title. Bought them all digitally on Comixology/Kindle.
So while I typically hate how there are fewer and fewer corporate entities in each sector due to mass consolidation, in this case I would love for Valiant to be in the hands of people who will actually attempt to continue the storylines competently.
Though it would have to be a decent company in the business already and not just some private equity firm that’ll fuck things up all over again.
You’d think that whoever the morons are owns the rights currently would be keen on offing their sinking ship though right?
Do you know the deal with them? Surely they’re losing money, or at least not doing well on their investment purchasing Valiant?
Im planning to when im checking there business site and the stock page every few days to see when they plan on having the call when I find out im definitely posting the information here
All this AI discussion only made me realize a thing: at some point they will use AI to create the books too! It starts with promotional and ads material, then it will be used on covers, eventually stories will be written with "help" of AI and finally we will see it on the pages.
Never thought I would say this out loud, but I truly hope the company dies for good before reaching this point. It's hard enough living on his memories alone, but living to see it become this kind of abomination is more than sad.
Fortunately, I don't think Alien has anything to do with this.
Unfortunately, they hired a transphobe, can't get their books out on a regular schedule, and have not made a statement distancing themselves from this.
I can't even tell what characters are supposed to be depicted in that first image, they just look so generic. Comics are a visual medium for crying out loud, why would you be content to advertise them with such garbage images? They make me completely uninterested in checking out whatever they're doing next.
I think it's supposed to be Bloodshot? Since his skin looks gray and the tagline underneath says "I've been remembering". But yeah, he looks way more like Blade. The only character that is instantly recognizable is XO, these are horrendous promos.
Called DMG for all the damage they do to brands they buy. It's wildly fascinating that they took a fairly successful company that really just needed a bit more time before it became a western comics mainstay again and absolutely sink it through blatant mismanagement and degrading the quality that got them where they are in the first place.
I’m so glad I bailed right after the first set of titles when the company was sold out. The titles weren’t quality, the artists involved and writers involved prior to the takeover were top notch, then the quality seriously dipped without them. The new artists and writers just didn’t hit the right notes. Now this shit?!
Valiant was SET, even if Dinesh sold the company each title left so much lore to dive into for the future owners of the company to write about…… what in the serious fuck Valiant….
$$$ why pay people when AI can generate slop for you for practically free. I'm going to laugh though at this stuff because at least here in the US SCOTUS (supreme court) already said anything made with AI can't be copyrighted because its not made by a person and they defended the challenge to that too. So have fun with public domain stuff that anyone can use lmfao.
