I thought part two of Solar was this month. They need to hurry up and get to X-O Manowar

This looks an awful lot like an article that's over 2 years old:

I guess it can't hurt to re-print it for those who missed it the first time.

N.I.O. was released, loosely based on the Rai

How loosely based on Rai was it?

Yeah, good question.

Just the nanites in the blood idea is it, I believe.

I like the first Rai, the one who could create weapons by manipulating energy. He was much cooler than the one with the nanites (though the myth of the Bloof of Heroes is awesome in its own right).

I like this part when talking about the Unity #0 giveaway issue.

We were operating under the 'school yard pusher' theory: give (the readers) the first one free and once they're hooked, make 'em pay," says Layton on the stunt.

Those of us who stayed till the end could have ODed with the crap they tried to pass up for VALIANT toward the end.

I'm sure most people lost some brain cells while reading VH 2 comics.

Can't be plagiarism because there is no theft...

this is basically a reprint of an article that is over 2 years old that was originally posted on Newsarama...and it's a really good one too. And I agree with Greg that it's a great thing to check out if one has never read it before, either on Newsarama or on Valiantcomics.com. Besides, apparently Sequart got permission from both the author and original publisher to reprint it.

It's still an informative and good read!

I think Svair was just kidding around anyway.
