It's actually a bit of a competition without LaDoTH in the mix. I also found myself giving a lot of .5's out this month, due to things being slightly better than normal... besides Livewire... I mean, everything but Livewire. That s*** sucks.

'Not as Good as Rai Vol. 1, but Still Really Good' Tier 4.5/5
Fallen World 5

Legitimately Exciting Tier 4/5
Killers 3

'Confusing, but I think I'm into it' Tier 3.5/5
Bloodshot 1

Surprisingly Pretty Good Tier 3/5
Dr. Mirage 2

'Not as Bad as Usual. Still Crappy' Tier 2.5/5
Psi-Lords 4

Awful and Embarassing Tier 1.5/5
Livewire 10

This might actually be the worst month of books in VEI history facepalm

Great books! ...

None of them :?

Solid books...
1) Fallen World #5

Average books but readable...
2) Killers #3

Just not good enough books...
3) Bloodshot #1

Absolutely dire ‘woke’ books...

= 5 Psi Lords #4 & Livewire #10

Not buying books...

Jeez, I’m behind on my September reading! Somehow I’ve still only read Livewire 10 & Bloodshot 1! I’m also a couple issue behind on Fallen World, but now that the entire series is out, I’m looking forward to reading it all in one sitting.

No votes from me ‘till I’m caught up!

I think you're being a little harsh. I would rank Fallen World, Incursion, Killers, and Punk Mambo fairly high amongst VEI's best.

Squee flavoured ice cream not a choice. Bloodshot is the only book I get.

:lol: negative Nancy? More like keep it real Kevin! :P

Yeah those books might be in VEI’s top 200 books at a push! Seriously can you remember a worse month than this? The only period that comes close that I can recall was when we had the ‘Valiant lite’ period of Faith, Gen Zero, A&A etc

I've converted into a half-Valiant fan, so it's harder to get me down. :D

Basically, as long as I get 3 solid books a month, I'm happy. At the end of the day, I'd rather have read Fallen World and Killers than not.

Agree on Fallen World, could easily skip Killers. My frustration is based in wanting success for this company but watching them making poor decisions on who they employ which in turn gives us the books we now get. If they turn it around and produce great books then I’m back on board!

Well my point is that they produce great books about half the time, and for that half, I'm fully on board. I'm not really sure what I'm trying to convince you of. I guess I just feel like some of these books are important, and it'd be such a shame for them to get overlooked, just because they were created by different people than VEI employed.
