Re: xo 1 invictus is so dumb it put holes in my brain

Really, it's just depressing. This reads like bad fan fic. Total misunderstanding of the character (no he has not lived a life of only violence. The wonderful X-O Manowar #0 that Clay Mann did so beautifully showed that), z grade ideas (gone is both the hard science of Shooter and the blockbuster id...

Re: xo 1 invictus is so dumb it put holes in my brain

Comic writing is not dead. There are many good books from other publishers. Beneath the Trees is amazing. Dwellings is really good. etc.

But until Valiant hires talented creators or professional editors again comic writing might as well be dead at Valiant...

Re: xo 1 invictus is so dumb it put holes in my brain

I was going to avoid this based on the previews but felt compelled after I read your post. I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked. It's just lazy and unprofessional. Even the character descriptions in the front are horrible. "Emperor of the Novus Romanus. He has been looking for the X-O armor for a lo...

Re: Bloodshot Unleashed Reloaded, an ‘apology’ for the DMG era?

Just read Bloodshot Unleashed Reloaded #1 and I’ll put a review in the Review sections (spoiler alert it’s a waste of money). In the book there’s a cringe return of Bloodsquirt who regularly pops up in an annoying ‘breaking the 4th wall’ type way. This includes an ‘hilarious’ nod and a wink presuma...

Re: Anthologies and Team Books

Although "Fist & Steel" is specifically about Gilad the Eternal Warrior, that could work as the title of a team-up series. 'Fist & Steel' specifically refers to the duo of Gilad and Ninjak. Must be a VEI thing. "Fist and steel of the Earth" was exclusively about Gilad. l...

I was so torn between Armour Hunters and Harbinger Wars. I wish this was a poll where you could vote twice, I bet we'd see very different results.

Harbinger Wars 2 was a big disappointment but we know we only got a version of the story was supposed to be right? Of course, but why does that matter?

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe

The intention by Alien is good but they haven’t got the quality of writers to pull this off. Rather than have so many new books why not have fewer but pay for A tier writers? I wonder if Dysart, Kindt, Lemire and VDitti are still boycotting Valiant? Maybe with Alien at the helm it might change thin...

Yeah there’s some shockers there, I’d put Psi Lords alongside them though :P lol which ones are the shockers? The ones I listed are what I consider to be the F-tier.

Looks pretty cool, actually. Is my optimism not misplaced this time? Has Valiant actually changed for the better?
I am choosing to be optimistic too. I wish it didn't look like just old ideas recycled but maybe we need to see more. Rooting for a good Valiant event again.

Bummer they completely lost faith in the Harbinger IP, but can't blame them. That last Harbinger run may have killed the series and we're left with "zany" Faith adventures. Let's not forget that Harbinger Renegade and Harbinger Wars II did no favors for the IP either. Harbinger Wars 2 was...
