Once NK, Should DC Give Valor Another Try?

**Free-Man** · 12-20-2009, 10:50 AM

It's safe to say that eventually, Clark will be coming back to reclaim his book. Sales have been dropping, and I've heard a number of people on this very site voice their opinions on why Clark should be back.

However, I and some others have said that they enjoy what Robinson is doing with Mon, so my question is this. Once the whole New Krypton storyline is over, should DC resurrect the Valor title?

For the unaware, Valor was a solo book about Mon-El from the 90's. Should Robinson give the book a shot?

As much as I would like it, both Robinson & Mon-El are both viewed pretty negatively right now, so I do not see the book lasting too long.

I'd rather see him folded back into a LEGION book, like he was in the early 90s. He can always go back to the Phantom Zone later.

Sadly, I think you may be right about this.

I say Zone him immediately after NK/War of the Supermen wraps up. Having him active in the 21st century is only going to make working with him in the 31st century with the LSH that much dicier, and the Legion is where I want to see him the most.

I don't think goodwill is against Mon El and Robinson, but I'd rather he go back to the 31st century and get handled by Levitz and co. It allows more freedom in the future.

Kill him. Slowly, painfully. Call it fan retribution for the godawful stories we've gotten this past year.

I'd buy that.

As a mini series about him seeding the universe, absolutely

As much as I like the idea of Mon-El in the 21st century and being part of the Justice League, I agree with you. He works better in the Legion.

So in his 90's series, was he referred to as "Valor" or Mon-El? I vaguely remember the book being around, and know it was canceled during a Zero Hour crossover with LoSH, but was it really integral to the rest of the DCU at the time?

On an unrelated note, that costume sucks. As does the current redesign. I wish they'd go with the post-Zero Hour Legion one he wore, the one with the black starfield on it.
