I would like to see more announcements of upcoming projects.

Since the DMG takeover, we've essentially had two:

- The Life and Death of Toyo Harada (6 issue mini) by Josh Dysart (early '19)
- Britannia: Lost Eagles of Rome (4 issue mini) by Peter Milligan (July '18)

Both of these mini's look great and I suspect we'll see a Harby ongoing post HWII and another mini/maxi Dr. Mirage series at some stage this year to build momentum for the TV series. That aside, it's hard to know what else #VMG are forecasting...

Does anyone else think that an xo series with livewire as xo could be interesting?

Have Aric come to grips with losing the armour and turn him into a character trying to regain the trust of his people.
This is what happens when you try to work...

Even those example have some serious issues, at least for me. Brittania is losing Ryp and 'Harada' is coming out in 2019. What the hell? Can't we get an announcement of something that's just cut-and-dry cool. It's like everything has an asterisk beside it.

Free Comic Book Day is less than a week away, and not hint about any announcements. Definitely a change, as Dinesh was usually letting the teasers fly.
Good Morning, that's a nice tnetennba.

Nothing to see in the FCBD issue. NOTHING! Weakest one to date. Will elaborate more once released.

I don't find that surprising while they're in a transitional period. Not that I'm happy about it.

+1 an unfortunate byproduct of the team transitioning. It's too bad - it's never good timing when the company loses good people, but having it impact the FCBD fun sucks. :(

I think its important to remember.
Dinesh was a fan from The young age of what ever and he re booted valiant. He was betrayed by friends who sold out their shares to DMG. So DMG kicks out the nerd boss and takes owner ship of the company.
We know this as fact. Correct me if I missed a point.
My main point here is Dinesh was a fan first first and foremost so that made him one of us not just some organisation or company. Valiant is the charaters. thoes running Valiant are not.
I think its important to differentiate Valiant from DMG.
DMG is not Valiant.
Remember what we loved before the take over was what one of us made he made valiant come back.
DMG is new and has done nothing to the moment of me wrighting this post.
When you say valiant its the characters and universe your speaking about.
When speaking about the company that has done nothing speak about dmg. dmg is not valiant and I think its important to know.
I Miss the good old days.

You just ruined FCBD for me...

I've been trying to shuffle my Saturday so I could get out to the shop at a decent time...guess it's mean to be... I'll be there at closing time hoping they might have one more copy left. At least there won't be a line...

That said, I think/hope/really believe they are playing some things close to their chest because HW2. It has to shake something up if there's no other big hints of what happens next. Britannia is a safe announcement but anything else might spoil what's to come...
