LADOTH has been everything every Valiant fan has been wanting, for quite some time now.
Fallen World is shaping up to be a spectacular series as well.

Re: Book of the Month - June 2019
Easy choice again this month...LADOTH and Fallen World head and shoulders above the rest!
This level is what Valiant should be delivering more consistently...
1) LADOTH #4
2) Fallen World #2
Big name on a B list/supporting character ...
3) Punk Mambo #3
Ok but only reading out of loyalty to VEI..
4) Livewire #7
Let’s pretend Gen Zero and War Mother never happened ....
5) Psi Lords #1
Embarrassment to the company ....
6) Bloodshot Rising Spirit #8

I don't think I'll ever understand why you have such a problem with Punk Mambo...Dallow Spicer1 wrote:Big name on a B list/supporting character ...

tbh I don’t have a problem with Punk Mambo, she’s English, I’m English so if anything I have a slight bias. I just see her as a strong supporting character in a book, not as a main, have your own series level character. One shot? Sure, why not. Same goes for Livewire and Faith, strong supporting characters, have their own one shot but not their own series
It wouldn’t be so bad if the other 5 books were all A list characters but Valiant takes too many chances on B listers (and C list with War Monger) so it gets frustrating.
That’s basically it

Easily the best;
1] LADOTH #4
2] Punk Mambo #3
Solid;
3] Fallen World #2
Hmmm... wait and see;
4] Psi Lords #1
Haven't read it yet but likely better than Bloodshot;
5] Livewire #7
Embarrassment to the company [stealing that from Dallow, it fits];
6) Bloodshot Rising Spirit #8
