Re: (Re-)Reading Acclaim
That is a great catch. Wonder if they had info from Post Unity 2000. Looks like they were already trying to merge the universes.
On a different note, can anyone tell me the contents of the Acclaim Preview Promo and Acclaim Reader? Curious if I should be picking them up for my binds or if it is repeated content.

They had their plans for Post-Unity 2000, but none came to bare.1st Among Equals wrote: Fri Jul 11, 2025 8:45 pm That is a great catch. Wonder if they had info from Post Unity 2000. Looks like they were already trying to merge the universes.

I think the Acclaim Reader might be a reprint of the recap pages that appeared in the 12th issues of the VH-2 series, but I don't recall.
The Preview Promo that came with Previews had art and notes about the then-upcoming relaunch.

Re: (Re-)Reading Acclaim
In VH2 XO #6 it mentions Magnus secretly watched X-O in the Acclaim Preview. Wish there was a copy to print include in the bind since it is a $200+ book alone. Is it a regular sized issues or mini comic?

Re: (Re-)Reading Acclaim
Oh, ok. The Acclaim Preview was a comic printed in an issue of Previews, but there was also a serial called Same As It Never Was which showed Magnus watching all the other VH-2 heroes leading into the relaunch. That has never been reprinted. You'd need to find the issues of Previews that have it or ask if someone here has scanned them.1st Among Equals wrote: Fri Jul 11, 2025 10:08 pm In VH2 XO #6 it mentions Magnus secretly watched X-O in the Acclaim Preview.

Re: (Re-)Reading Acclaim
That sounds more like what the XO book is referencing. If it was never printed was it a digital comic? I haven't seen anything about the "Same As It Never Was" story.

Not digital, it was published in the '90s in several issues of Previews, Diamond distributor's catalog.1st Among Equals wrote: Sat Jul 12, 2025 10:31 am That sounds more like what the XO book is referencing.

I think this had the first chapter.
