I had the privilege of meeting Jim Shooter in April of this year in New Jersey. He had a stern yet soft-spoken demeanor that carried the mystique of a seasoned writer. When I introduced myself as AJ Ampadu, an up-and-coming writer at Valiant/Alien Books, his face lit up. He was genuinely excited ...

Reposted from Reddit:

"Hey gang, AJ Ampadu here. Writer of NINJAK VS ROKU, SHADOWMAN:SOUL EATERS and SHADOWMAN & PUNK MAMBO: TALES FROM THE DEADSIDE.

As some of you may or may not know, SHADOWMAN:SOUL EATERS carries a mature rating.

LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD

The first issue has a sex scene where some ...

....I don't remember anyone saying, "Valiant sales will increase if they show boobies, and get moved from main shelves to mature readers sections."

I'm not saying I'm fully against it, but I've seen no real reason for it yet. I'm just wondering why it's suddenly happening, and if anyone else has ...

Sure! I think my thriller DragonFace is a great read. You can find it physically or digitally on my website here:

Reading it now and I just got to the part where Livewire sends Aric an electronic message. The Armor tells Aric that there are only two individuals on Earth who have the capability to reach that far. Livewire and who else? GIN-GR perhaps? Stanchek or Harada?

Ok... a few points to remember or think about....
1. Aric will be back on earth to fight Harada in Harbinger Wars 2. If the promo ads stay true.
2. The current X-O series is only scheduled for 12 issues, from what I believe was first announced, but this may (and I hope) has been changed.
3. The ...

I was flipping through X-O #50 yesterday. At the very end, it has a short sequence, set in the near future, with Aric on the throne on Gorin. It is written by Matt Kindt with art by Tomas Giorello.

This current volume was in the works before Venditti's run even came to an end. There is definitely ...

I'm still confused. It seems like the two Shanhara origins conflict each other. The Father specifically said he was sending the armor to the Vine planet because the hive mind couldn't bond with the armor. But in the Priest myth, a Vine bonded with the armor and defeated the Torment before Aric ever ...

I'm grateful for issue #5's flashback splash page because it helped establish that the events from Venditti's run actually happened. For a minute there I thought they wouldn't reference it at all. I believe that something within the Torment's knowledge made Aric want to retire.

Awesome, you guys are on Stitcher. Just subscribed

This can work. Leto is Oscar level

Loving the new X-O run but also really enjoyed Vendietti's first 50 issues. Quick question, X-O #50 ended with Aric gaining the knowledge of the cosmos from the Torment. Fast forward to a year later and he's on planet Gorin and has abandoned Earth. Does he still have his god-like knowledge? Are they ...

Thanks Moose! I did indeed meet Jace and get a card! Does this mean I'm now a "card-carrying" member? Lol

Love Valiant #0's. Such a great opportunity for origin stories. Harbinger 0 gave us Toyo origin and Shadowman 0 gave us Master Darque origin. Excited for this one.

Greetings and Salutations!

My name is Alex but you guys can call me EarthTone. I have been a fan of Valiant since '93. I remember being a teenager and being completely immersed into the Image comic universe and the superstar artists of the time. I remember when a friend of mine showed me a Solar ...
