Was the first appearance of Secret Weapons in the first issue of the title? If I remember, this was a tie in book.

Solar #25 kinda takes place in-between SW #1 and 2.

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!
What's Future-Bloodshot building there and what's with the removable head? This is so weird..... I can't wait to find out!

Here they are...
http://www.vulture.com/2017/02/arrival- ... liant.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Livewire is the lead character.

The others look new... Sunil may be the "first appearance" that Dinesh was talking about in Harbinger #1 (2012), when it looked like he was talking about Solomon.

Rexo is from classic Harbinger... Harbinger #3 (1992)

I thought Bender was from Solar, and then he transformed into Eclipse in SW 1?

Sorry, I misunderstood you and my answer was misleading as well. facepalm
Yes, in Solar 14 it was just Bender and in SW 1 he was transformed into Eclipse by Darque.

I've been hoping for Dr. Eclipse for a long time, I think he has a lot of untapped potential that VEI could really harness, especially without a Solar in their universe.

Was hoping for a team filled with a rotating cast of characters like Malgam, Viet-Man, Death Mate, Dr. Mirage led by someone like Eternal Warrior or Livewire which would be like the Valiant's take on Avengers and provide a good opportunity to write characters that dont have their own series or who were predominately supporting characters in other titles - I think similar to what we had hoped Unity would be. Either that or a Secret Weapons team forming from Stalinverse.

Not what I had hoped but I'll def be picking it up.

Promising. Raul Allen's not my first pick, though.
