Hi everybody! We've almost made it to double digits. But before that we talk some Eternal Warrior. In this, the ninth episode of Valiant Effort, we discuss Archer & Armstrong Volume 2: The Wrath of the Eternal Warrior! So who is Gilad and why is he so angry? What are the powers of the Geomancer? What’s Jaunty’s cousin doing in this book? All this plus our longest Easter Egg segment to date. Don’t miss it!

We’ve reached 10 episodes! Let’s celebrate by reading about Aric taking out his personal problems on an entire species. In our decennial episode we talk about artist portrayals of characters, Aric’s headstrong attitude, and the confusing concept of time dilation. Also, Nick discovers the pure joy that is 8-bit covers. Sit back, relax, and listen to Planet: Death!

What kind of issue? I'm in the middle of nowhere Maine on vacation and have no internet except for my non-apple mobile device. I won't be able to check it until next Monday.

Meanwhile, it downloaded fine on podkicker and stitcher. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!

Episode 11: Harbinger Wars, Part I

Part 1? Are we having a multi-part episode? We are and Nick has no idea. In this episode we look at the Harbinger Wars mini-series. Joshua explains his love for the H.A.R.D. Corps and Nick has a crazy theory about the Bleeding Monk. And twins! So download this now because streaming wastes your battery.

Episode 13: Harbinger Wars, Part III

It's the third and final installment of our journey through the Harbinger Wars. In this episode we focus on Bloodshot and his role in this crossover event. Who really has the young psiot's best interest at heart? Does Kara make any good decisions in this story? And we revisit the debate we've been having since episode two: Is Harada the bad guy? So take off your tie, relax from a hard day at work, and turn up the volume, because Valiant Effort is coming your way!

I also have to commend you guys again for the freaking AMAZING podcasting that you are doing with "Valiant Effort." You have taken a unique approach to reviewing these stories not only for Valiant podcasting, but comics podcasting in general.

KUDOS gentlemen! I am looking forward to diving into your three part "Harbinger Wars" discussion this week!

The link for part 3 doesn't seem to be there.

I listened to part 2 and it made me think of a crazy scenario...what if Carter still exists and merges with Lysander "goldy boy" somehow? Could this be Father in Rai? :hm:

Episode 14: Darque Reckoning

Here it is. Our awaited (dreaded?) discussion of the the second Shadowman trade. In this episode we discuss the good (Dr. Mirage, Samedi) the bad (Dox’s plan, magic in comics) and the ugly (what is this comic about?). So if rants and too many parenthesis in episode descriptions is your thing (you know it is), you've tuned into the show for you!

Valiant Effort Interacts #1: Listener Emails!

Our latest episode ran a little long so we've decided on a new format for extra content. In this episode we respond to some listener emails. First, Glen defends Shadowman Volume 2. Second, Mark wants to know about our comic book reading habits. Look for our next full episode on Friday where we dissect Quantum & Woody Volume 1.
