Where's X-O?

Rai #1- I'm so down for everything about this. ...except the cover. F***, that cover is bad.
I'll probably also be getting Bloodshot 3 and Killers 5.

But Dr. Mirage, Livewire, Roku, and Psi-Lords? Nah.

It was always intended to be a 12 issue series. It should have ended at #8.

completely agree, it should have been put out of its misery around that point. Now, it's like a poor aging dog, limping along until the owner decides to put it down.

Kind of depressing, kind of sad.

Yup. Same with BRS and Psi-Lords. Just put the *SQUEE* out of it's misery.

Can you imagine what a casual Marvel/DC fan felt if they picked up a random issue of BRS? That *SQUEE* would turn me off of Valiant forever.

Normally Newsarama states something like "Issue 11 (of 12)".

What are the chances of Livewire #13 hitting the shelves next month?

Livewire SHOULD have been the heir apparent to Harbinger, and continued the story forward for 25-50 issues following the conclusion of The Life and Death of Toyo Harada #6.

She should have taken the game forward from there, which could have led to a very different Harbinger Wars II, the subsequent redemption of Pete Stancheck as he would become The Visitor, and ultimately, into the events of BOD: The Fall of Ninjak #1 and BOD : The Fall of Harbinger #1.

Are we really at a point where the Roku covers just focus on her @$$ (and not even drawn very well). *SQUEE* DMG this stuff sucks.

I put in my order from the Diamond catalog, unless I'm crazy there was a change up from the solicits cover wise.

Which I was kind of happy about, this was a weak month for covers.

Rai, Bloodshot and Killers...the rest...no thanks!

Grim times for VEI, bring some editorial in who have got a clue and won’t let writers submit any old crap.

Sad state of affairs. Hopefully this is just a phase leading to better times.

The middle cover was nice,yoga pants would look better.I'll be buying everything,but rai and killers will probably be my favorites.Even the summaries of most of the comics suck.
I-Only judge porn by the cover.

BLOODSHOT #3

I noticed that Rai & Killers are the only books that still have pre-order edition covers! :hm:

Psi-Lords has a pre-order edition for 1-12.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Yea, I thought about that afterwards, because I actually get the pre-order editions. I won’t leave them stuck, but man, this book sucks!

Not up to Newsarama, they are just posting what they are given by the publishers. Publishers generally don't like to broadcast when "ongoings" are no longer going on.
agent_graves wrote:LIVEWIRE #12...(doesn’t say FINAL ISSUE!!!) :?
No, but it does read, "The climactic final chapter building since Secret Weapons and through Harbinger Wars 2 is finally here!" emphasis mine


But, yeah, other than Rai, that's a rough month.

I dropped pre orders. After bloodshot rising spirit I'm not going to buy 12 issues with the horrible track record of things passed.
Dmg is not good in my good books havent from the start.
