Secret Weapons??

That's my guess. Especially since they say "Tomorrow, the secret is out..."

Yes, that's what it is.

The barcode font is basically "four blips" per letter.

The two words are 24 blips and 28 blips.
That's 6 letters on the top and 7 letters on the bottom.

The first word begins and the second word ends with the same letter.

The 2nd letter and 5th letter of the first word, and 2nd letter of the 2nd word are all the same.

SECRET
WEAPONS

6 letters, then 7 letters.
First and last letters the same "S".
2nd, 5th, and 2nd letter of 2nd word are all "E".

Nice detective work there, Greg! Pretty conclusive. This looks to be another fantastic project for Valiant

So who do you think is on the team?

I'm honestly expecting the Unity team with a twist. Maybe Shadowman.

Would really love if it was a Black Ops book, as discussed in other thread, with some secondary characters, though.

Don't know who will be in it, but I'd absolutely LOVE a BlackOps type of book!! Think that would be awesome!

Since the announcement is on Groundhog Day, it makes me wonder if the Secret Weapons will be stuck in some kind of time loop.

Look who's going to show up in BS Salvation...

Per the article, this author is the same one who wrote the screenplays for the upcoming Harbinger and Bloodshot movies! That's pretty cool.

jaden_sai wrote:So who do you think is on the team?

I don't think we can begin to speculate on that until we know if this is set in the current or 4002 timeline. Some cool possibilities either way! Coming in June. That answers one question at least. Looking forward to more info tomorrow.

Arrival was a solid flick. This is really encouraging news that it's the same writer for the Valiant movie scripts too! For some reason I can see a lot of people (not us) sleeping on Secret Weapons and having another Savage/Britannia situation. I'll be pre-ordering early on this one. Also, it looks like there will be a major 1st appearance for FCBD related to BS.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting. Makes me think the FCBD story for BS is being told from the vantage point of 4001 BS.

Oh wow! Looks like Bloodshot portion of FCBD is going to bounce around a ton, from 4002, back to some of the older books. Who knows where Salvation might lead to, but this has me more pumped for Bloodshot!

Awesome announcement - I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with this title!

Raul Allen and Patricia Martin working together indicates that this series will likely appear artistically similar to the first 10 or so issues of WotEW.

Interestingly, Dino tweeeted out that nobody has "cracked the code" yet, suggesting it isn't Secret Weapons.

Did he even check here?

TheeBaldMoose · Post by **TheeBaldMoose** » Wed Feb 01, 2017 5:57 pm

Tried pointing that out. Maybe he just wants more people to "know" when others shout out the answer.

I don't think so as he just tweeted out the official release that it is in fact Secret Weapons. Very stoked for this one.
