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.

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe

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?

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.

Re: Resurgence of the VALIANT Universe

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...

Re: What are your MUST-READ Valiant stories?

Off the top of my head … Harbinger Wars Armour Hunters Harbinger, Imperium, and The Life and Death of Toyo Harada X-O #0 (VH1) Kindts run on Rai Great list. Armor Hunters might be the most blockbuster story ever told in Valiant imo. And X-O Manowar #0 might be the most underrated. That opening is s...

Here's mine: 8. The Valiant Major problem with this as it contains one of the biggest mis-steps of VEI IMO. Issue #3 is a throwaway meeting of all of the VEI character for some nonsense battle. This effectively robbed us of a ton of ‘first meeting’ storyline between all of the characters….and it wa...

Imo Magnus 1-4 ain't got sh!t on Solar 1-10. They're both damn good, but Solar has this timeless, "epic" quality, that I have rarely seen replicated, and an awesome, unique gimmick with the Alpha & Omega inserts. Steel Nation, in comparison, is just a very well-told, fun cyber punk st...

Re: Alien should hire MOTA

I was wrong. Alien should absolutely not hire MOTA. No publisher should be hiring any writers who make false and defamatory statements. Libel and slander are serious business and serious no-nos.
