Re: preview of Bloodshot: Rising Spirit aka Valiant suck now

You guys are right that my reaction is totally knee jerk and that I should check out at least the first issue. I'm sure I will at some point just out of morbid curiosity. It's just odd to see any Valiant release and be so underwhelmed and confounded by it. I feel pretty underwhelmed every time a ne...

Re: The Schizophrenia of Neville Alcott

I've noticed the flip-flop. It's not like they haven't tried to give him more character--but I feel like it's just a writing issue. That said, I know bosses in real life that are like this, constantly flipping a switch between best friend and task master often times catching their employees off guar...

Re: preview of Bloodshot: Rising Spirit aka Valiant suck now

I'll go out on a limb and say that there's no way the series is going to give answers in the first issue. Angelo Mortalli will likely end up being one of the false memories that Ray Garrison has had implanted, as well as the bad attempt at gangster lingo, since we're talking about Project Rising Sp...

Re: preview of livewire aka Valiant suck now part 2

Just read Vita's contribution to Cursed Comics Conclave last night. She did well with Wonder Woman, despite not having much room for the story to be anything special--is it too early to be scared DC would steal her away? I think the preview is good, but then again, I've never gotten much out of thes...

Re: Ninja-K #11 Discussion

I'll agree on the writing and references to prior continuity; not just HW2 but the Silk stuff as well. Great issue. The art is not my cup of tea for Ninjak, however. It's good, just not the appropriate choice for this title, imo. You're right on the art. despite that, this is the best Valiant comic...

Re: Britannia: Lost Eagles of Rome #3 Discussion

This is the kind of issue that makes me look forward to reading the whole mini over again, reminded me that the 4-issue mini can still be something that builds to a fever pitch. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Re: HW2 event was it a flop?

yes. I'd rather have a good book in my collection than have one that I never want to return to. I'd be interested in paying full price for a better version of HW2. Maybe I haven't been a fan long enough. Sorry for assuming other people would love to have a redo on this horrible mini... Dude I'm sor...

Re: HW2 event was it a flop?

You know, it would be nice if they went the Deluxe HC route and expanded the story with new pages. Just because something didn't work the first time, because it was rushed, doesn't mean it can't be salvaged. And I think it would go a long way to extending good faith between the new regime and us.

Re: Current Valiant Continuity Discussion

I was waiting for someone else to answer this... but in my opinion, Bloodshot/Harbinger/HW2, and/or then XO/ARMORHUNTERS/UNITY/NINJAK followed by THE VALIANT/BS REBORN/BOOKS OF DEATH/WRATH OF ETERNAL WARRIOR. It's hard not to recommend a lot of the other stuff, but I think this gives the clearest an...

Re: Valiant Comics - Why Don't I Feel More Excited?

Diggle has been announcing a couple of new projects via his twitter handle lately @andydiggle which makes me think Incursion will be the last we see of him writing for Valiant. I hope I'm wrong, I know Matt Kindt had multiple projects on the go at the same time as he was writing titles for Valiant....

Re: How Comic Book Hero Livewire Is Getting Her Due

the art team is great. I don't know Vita. She says the right things. This and BS Rising Spirit are my gauges for the new regime. I hope they hit it out of the park. Livewire has gone from Harada crony to someone I care about most in the Valiant universe. HW2 wasn't good. but I kinda get why she migh...

I believe Diamond also said they were giving their employees off the week of Christmas... and things were either coming out a week earlier or a week later, so not VEIDMG's fault. It's too easy to jump to doom and gloom these days.

Re: Valiant Comics - Why Don't I Feel More Excited?

And the downward spiral continues thanks to the woeful December solicitations... Bloodshot Rising Spirit will already have a new creative team with the original writers no longer attached to the project, this before #1 even comes out. Ninja-K ends at #14. I get that Gage has other commitments but V...

Sucks that a person was right about Ninja-K ending soon. But it's been one of the best series this year and will fit nicely in a deluxe edition down the road. What's the over/under on XO ending at #25? Hoping Livewire is worth a pre-order bundle. But I think I'm going to pull it regular just to be o...
