And Wrath of the Eternal Warrior ends at #14.

I think us Valiant Fans cancelled this book twice before, so maybe we should be happy it made it this far

With the sales numbers it was getting, I guess it was kind of inevitable.

Other positives: it's an 11-book month and Ninjak Deluxe Edition.

A pretty cool stack of comics coming out in December.

A silent issue of Ninjak with CAFU on art sounds amazing! Also glad to see Mike Norton is staying on A&A, his style really fits the book so far.

Some great reads coming in December - really excited for my pulls:

Divinity III: Stalinverse #1 (of 4)
Divinity III: Komander Bloodshot #1 (one-shot)
Bloodshot USA #3 (of 4)
Ninjak #22

EW ending is not a surprise. Didn't see the Komander Bloodshot coming though

Very disappointed

The Stalinverse tie-in issues blew my mind a bit and I'm very excited. So they'll definitely do Bloodshot, XO, and Shadowman. Maybe they'll also do a Harbinger issue focused on Harada?

Based on the Newsarama interview, it's going to be a new character introduction a la War Mother.

I'm confused: is Stalinverse "canon" or a sort of Elseworlds story? I read and loved Divinity I, II and want more, either way.
This could actually lead to a soft reboot if it's canon and changes the universe a little wee. I hope NOT.

I wonder how they plan to introduce a new character in that kind of elseworld-like context. Will it be like how Marvel introduced X-Man (Nate Grey) during the Age of Apocalypse crossover, then brought him back into the original timeline?

Awesome solicits, but I need the first Archer & Armstrong deluxe edition to be reprinted. I've been bugging Dinesh about it on Twitter and he just keeps saying sit tight and that some sort of announcement is coming (maybe an omnibus).

They say it will be cannon. Mishka/Divinity have reshaped the universe. So more like House of M than Elseworlds.

I think that whatever happens to alter the VU into a 'Stalin-verse' for Divinity III will be a real thing that doesn't happen as an 'Elseworlds' scenario - these beings are supposed to be that powerful, after all. But I doubt there will be anything too crazy left over by the end of the mini with lingering effects, other than the promise of a new character remaining. Sounds like it'll be a blast to read, and I'm looking forward to the one-shots too.

I didn't realize the first A&A Deluxe Edition is sold out -- surprised it hasn't been reprinted. I wonder what the print run was on it.

Gotcha.

Damn, and it has been my favorite run of the character yet! People don't know what they are missing I guess. Seriously The Labyrinth story alone beats a lot of the main stream comic staples from the big two.

Agreed - I think that Labyrinth story might be among the best EW stories I've ever read. It is such a shame that the sales keep hovering down around 5~6k on good series like this.

What's with the cat covers?

Portions of those cover sales will go to a New Jersey No Kill animal shelter. Do believe Dinesh is a Cat guy, I know a few other artists that work for Valiant are as well.

They're covers. With cats.
