    Bravura Brand/Line from Malibu Comics...

    I loved this line because it was, for the majority, a line for the older industry guys like Starlin, Simonson, Kane and a few others. Did anyone ever finish the "Stamp Program" that they had? I think I was close...maybe missed a few issues. There were supposed to be different levels of completion giveaways. I've to this day have yet to see what one of those giveaways may have been. This was the lineup:

    Breed (2 series) by Jim Starlin
    Dreadstar by Jim Starlin
    Edge by Steven Grant and Gil Kane (unfinished- iBooks released a hardback collection of the complete first series)
    The Man Called A-X by Marv Wolfman
    Metaphysique by Norm Breyfogle
    Nocturnals by Dan Brereton
    Power & Glory by Howard Chaykin
    Star Slammers by Walter Simonson (unfinished until the series moved to Dark Horse Comics)
    Strikeback by Jonathan Peterson, Kevin Maguire and Steve Oliff (unfinished - Image Comics released this series later on and completed it)

    It's a shame Marvel has done absolutely NOTHING with any of the Malibu stuff. I don't think they could have done anything with the Bravura line because I think it was sort of like the old "Epic" line was for Marvel in the early days...the characters were owned by the creators...therefore they could take them to any publisher they wanted.
    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    - "Isn't It A Pity"

    I really loved Dan Brereton's NOCTURNALS. I tried to get into BREED, but just couldn't.

    Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

      This really did Seem like a great chance for an older generation of creators to shine in the looming shadow of the Image Creators in the nineties. Although to be honest, I enjoyed the Ultraverse books from Malibu a bit more than these ones.

      Strike back was my favourite, but really frustrating with it's lateness/incompleteness. And unfortunately I felt like too much had been done with Dreadstar by other creators to pull it back on track upon Starlin's return, and I wasn't really interested in the daughter. Chaykin was obviously having a blast commenting of the star of the industry with Power and Glory.
