Setting aside the disaster that is the story, that one splash page where she finds X-O is some of the most exciting coloring around. Michael Spicer is the only reason to check this book out, but it is a really good reason.

A zero issue for that female Shadowman in Unity, written by Jan Van Meter.

Do it! Do it!

Michael Spicer's colors are awesome! But... it's not enough. I'll be voting with my dollar and skipping issue #3.

Yes! The rough childhood years. And Ivan isn't naked yet, but he's already leaning that way.

Very much hoping for the same impression!

Anni-Padda!

I have to go Grant Morrison for Animal Man and his work on Superman. Side note: everybody knows about All Star Superman, but the 2-issue Superman Beyond 3D (tie-in for Final Crisis) was incredible.
His Animal Man run rules. Also loved WE 3, The Filth, Doom Patrol & New XMen... and currently loving ...

There are also some curious ways in which the Master Darque sequence resonates with the Japanese folk ghost story "Hoichi the Earless," from Lafcadio Hearn's Kwaidan, which Kindt is probably familiar with. We have a monk losing his ears by the hand of a personification of the dead -- and a body ...

Machines can't dream. You must be malfunctioning again

Dammit.

Nice!

Has anyone here done a direct quality comparison between the clarity of the artwork in the original issues versus the XO Omnibus? I don't own any of the OG hardcovers VEI has put out, but I once flipped through the first the very first VEI Harbinger HC and thought some of the pages looked not quite ...

If I could get a classic Master Darque and a VEI Bloodshot sculpted by the Four Horsemen, I'd be a happy guy

Wasn't there an issue with the X-O omnibus, because while the dimensions were oversized, the actual art wasn't?

I heard that too. Big misstep if that's the case.
Yikes. I hope if that is true, it is corrected going forward with the other omnibus editions. Kinda defeats the point for me to not ...

Welcome, Rick!

Awesome! Hopefully we'll get a Bloodshot omnibus soon.
Wouldn't that be counter productive since Bloodshot is already apart of the "Valiant Masters" series?

Since the omnibus dimensions are oversized (right?), it would probably be fine. Marvel does its premium HC and then it's oversized HC, and ...

Forgot both and totally agreed. :) :thumb:

:high-five:

@Grendeljd: Nameless is good, eh? Who is publishing it?
It's an Image book, so it's even a creator owned ...

Neat story, welcome to the board. What custom figures did you make?

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, guys!

I can't remember every figure I made, Daniel, but I know it included Master Darque, Shadowman, and Ninjak (who I remember converting from a Super Powers Green Lantern). Funny note -- Paul ...

Nice! Can't wait to see what cover image they choose and recolor. Archer and Armstrong #0, I hope!

Hoo-boy is this a great looking September line-up. :clap: :thumb:

Super excited for the Book Of Death, the BoD:Harbinger 1-shot, and DIVINITY in Imperium!!!

Totally. And I am so glad Darque is part of the Book of Death event! That Nord cover for issue 3 is great.
Two things I am hoping for:
