Newsflash ….DMG release book worth reading!!!

Post by Dallow Spicer1 »

Bloodshot Unleashed is worth picking up, decent story, art and no goofy politics inserted (I’m not saying there’s no politics at all just not the usual stuff).

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for spreading the word too. Hopefully others that have been feeling let down will also give this series a chance. I thought it was a great start to the series!

If Dallow has good things to say about DMG anything, well, that's something
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

I call it how I see it. It shows if they at least try and get back on track and don’t serve up dross then I’ll support the books.

Haven’t seen too many of your reviews in the published books section? :hm:

Honestly, DMG has been fairly consistent lately. Shadowman/Book of Shadows, Armorclads, The Harbinger, and A&A, have all been solid, and worthy inclusions to the Valiant U. (imo)

I have picked up digital copies of Bloodshot Unleashed #1, Book of Shadows #1 & 2, and A&A Forever #3 & 4 to keep up with the current Valiant stuff that I’m interested in following - but I haven’t sat down with them to read just yet.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I find myself liking most of the story more than I expected (could do without the imaginary kid but I get the why behind it).

I just can't accept this as fully realized art. I've had the same problems with Davis-Hunt since his work on The Wildstorm and that is he spends so much time on emotive faces he kind of shortcuts everything else. And the usually extraordinary Jordie Bellaire's colors are just doing this entire book a disservice with flat, muted colors that (based on the black & white preview for next issue) are completely washing out aspects of the positive parts of Davis-Hunt's linework.
