Re: What comics are you reading now?
Since it was FCBD I gave a few new launches a try… Bloodhunt #1 (Marvel): Fast paced launch to the Summer event. Interesting if predictable twist at the end. A few potential deaths (which of course won’t last). The whole thing feels pretty repetitive though: Just had a big Vampire story around Dracu...

Re: Livewire & the Secret Weapons (one shot)
Glad to see these characters revisited and working on their powers, but giving them too much control over/them and/or powering them up kinda ruins the initial concept that was so interesting. The Livewire stuff was kinda weird, but the mysterious manipulator kept it intriguing…then it turned out to ...

Re: Britannia: The Great Fire of Rome
This was just OK for me. I enjoyed the appearances by the Anni-Pada clan, and the Geomancer reveal. But the overall “mystery” didn’t really draw me in and Axia’s obsession with the dying one just seemed unnecessary. It was a little too Sam Spade for me.

Re: Bloodshot Unleashed Reloaded #1
Didn’t read this right away because of some of the early reviews I read here, but with the “Resurgence” announcement I figured I’d catch up. Issue 1 was decent. Obviously a continuation of the previous run, but I liked the twist and the inclusion of Bloodsquirt . Issue 2 was rather good, I thought, ...

Re: Let’s settle this once and for all …BEST VALIANT EVENT!
Unity is a no brainer, but Armor Hunters and Harbinger Wars were both incredible. Was never really feeling The Valiant, but admittedly I was in the middle of checking out of Valiant completely when it came out. Not sure The Valiant even counts as an Event. It was really just an EW miniseries. No ti...

Re: Let’s settle this once and for all …BEST VALIANT EVENT!
If Unity doesn’t win in a landslide, I’d be surprised, but my second vote would be for Harbinger Wars. Love everything from Josh Dysart.

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe
Have to say, I had my doubts when the rights went to Alien, but I’ve been impressed with the creative teams being announced. The previews are the best the VALIANT books have looked in a while and it sounds like they’re developing/continuing the shared continuity from VEI/DMG before a soft reboot com...

Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH
Received my copy on Saturday. Box had a big “Fragile: Handle with Care” sticker on it. Packaging was as described: just some paper around the book, which was in a plastic bag with the bookmark and order info. Luckily, mine was not damaged at all. Yet to read it, but the quality of the cover, binding...

Re: Homage covers (from other publisher to Valiant comics) ?
Arise, chicken, arise. This one almost slipped by me. I think it *might* just be a Deathmate homage cover.

Re: Bad Idea are clearly doing X-O Manowar right?
They're WAVE 2 PART 1 pricing range already was $7.99 to $9.99! :lol: Still less than $125 and could sell far more. Sure, but you can also just read and flip the hardcover collection without much of a loss. I’m not in the reselling business. If I buy it, it’s because I want it. Oh yeah, and that $1...

Re: Bad Idea are clearly doing X-O Manowar right?
They’ve made so much $$$ off of this Kickstarter—over $365,000—one has to wonder how much they could make through normal distribution methods. Obviously that’s extremely successful, but all that cash comes from only 1600 backers. Seems like they could reach a larger audience and still make that muc...

Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH
I have backed several kickstarter comics over the past year, and many have been delayed long periods. This isn’t entirely unheard of, but most of the creators keep their backers updated on the reasons. Global paper shortage, lack of available printers, and many medical situations for the creative te...

Yeah, it's nice that around here they keep complaining about bad artwork and only getting 2 books per month. At the same time "they" are so far up in #BadIdea's butt; a company that is stalling on purpose (for no reason at all; at this point), giving us their big fat BUTTon, and pulling a...

This is a cute gimmick, but I’m sure any mathematician could give you a basic estimate on how long a billion clicks would take...I think at the current rate they will reach it in early November.
