ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

Enjoyed this one. Like the continuity nods to Unity. I’d suggest reading Unity #22 for context to War Monger’s background (which itself is also a very good issue).

Looking forward to Resurgence!

Set out what it aimed to achieve in brining interest into the stories leading to Resurgence. Personally, I would've loved for this to be a prelude story rather than snippets from The Valiants #1 and Ninjak v Roku #1.

I'm only three issues in (Faith, Valiant, and XO) to this and I'm really enjoying the stories so fall. There's definitely a connected feeling to the broader Valiant universe so far and I honestly think the art and first issues of those three comics I mentioned are pretty good. I was all in on ...

As has been mentioned, a solid re-introduction to the universe as a foundational piece for later storytelling.

I'm not a fan of the 'Valiants' as a title but this reads very much as reformation of Unity, a semi-origin take on the newer team iteration. The story did more than enough to convey this ...

I loved pretty much everything about this (both art and story were on point). Did more than enough to establish the core characters and make me care about them (Aric, Thrya, and Nimane). Enjoyed the nod to the broader connected universe with Ivar Timewalker showing up.

Thoughts on who the ...

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 ...

0 titles for me. I'm okay with this.

Just Roku for me, come Feb I will have 0 Valiant titles on my pull list for the first time since 2012.

After reading this issue I've decided to drop Bloodshot from my pull-list. This is the first Valiant title since I starting reading comics following the reboot in 2012 I've dropped mid story arc.

Action - yes
nice art - yes (if you're into that 90's comic feel)
good story - no
solid ...

I'm loving this series so far. The continuity is on point and the action is what I want from a Ninjak/Ninjak-themed book.

Went back and re-read Ninja-K #4 for Ninja-G origin which added a little more depth to the story. Starting to feel like Valiant is getting back on track

Better to have a movie novelization than not have a movie novelization, I suppose. It's a great way to see what was written and not filmed, what was changed, and to clarify extra details like what someone was thinking or how something was described differently "in the novelization".

Before Disney ...

Pretty excited for this, and off the back of Fallen World. I'd love to see more mini's morph into ongoings or, at least have lasting impacts on titles directly proceeding them.

The numbers are disheartening considering there are some decent enough stories here. Personally, I think the main problem (as many have already stipulated here), is the lack of recognizable tent-pole titles.

Bloodshot
Shadowman
Harbinger
Archer and Armstrong
Unity (I'm including this because, as ...

With the Killers mini and now Roku plus the new Bloodshot I'm slowly getting excited for Valiant again.

Did we find out what this teaser was from? Was it Fallen World?

My thoughts:

Harbinger
Unity
Archer & Armstrong

Gotta admit, I'm really not reading much Valiant these days which saddens me as it wasn't that long ago I was picking near everything up. One of the reasons I've pretty much stopped buying Valiant is down to one thing:

the universe doesn't feel connected anymore

That being said, I'm not reading ...

It'll be something from the Fallen World mini. Just like the last classified/teaser image which turned out to be part of the cover art for Fallen World #1

I thought this issue was okay. It does well to reconcile the events of HWII and Livewire's character assassination to a degree but really, what we got from this arc could've easily been condensed into a single issue.

now the arc is done, so I am with Livewire. 2/5.

Side note - the art was great.

Bloodshot #7
Fallen World #1

Trade waiting on Harada

I finally got around to reading this and love the new direction of Jack. Finally feels like the character is ready to be what we were all hoping for since 2012. On the flip side, it's such a shame to see this series end now..

I read 8-11 in a single sitting and whilst the arc didn't add much to the ...

Finally got around to reading this.

I didn't mind the issue to be honest but really, we don't need more of Bloodshot's origin or examples of implanted memories. I thought Duane Swierczynki's run covered that off really well, as did Kindt's #0 issue too.

This arc doesn't have any cohesiveness to ...

A year long story-line...sounds great but we now know that means little... (Bloodshot Salvation, Shadowman Vol.2) FVL is able to deliver the full story he wants to tell.

Saw this on twitter today, thought I'd share it here:

From Robert Meyers twitter account:
I'm not saying that @ValiantComics has a big announcement tomorrow, but I am saying that I just wrote what is now my favorite quote for a big announcement.

Previously this would've generated loads of hype ...

Given this series is only solicited for 2 arcs (8 or 9 issues), I was hoping we'd get more bang for our buck. I'm still along for the ride (at least for the first arc). Fingers crossed #3 sees the action/story ramp up.
