I thought we could do a book a day (that way people can read one every day or catch up on weekends), talk about it on its own, in the context of whats next, in regards to what expectations it creates and vote on how good it is. I don't have to be the one that posts everyday. If I miss a day or if someone wants to take over please do

For voting think of your single favourite comic book (not just VALIANT) as the benchmark - thats a 10 - and grade according to that.

Make sure to mention what you like'd about the book, what you didn't, what you wish they would have done, your favourite panels, lines of dialogue, little bits of trivia etc.

"Not while I live". "I will". "For that, you die". Just a few examples of the juvenile level of this issue. Bah.

Basically a long battle with one cliché' after another. The dialogue at this point is getting so far away from Aric would really be saying that it's not even funny. The only part of the book that was any good was the way Aric used the armor to analyze the alien particle beam. It is however, a little far fetched to see how easily the suit takes out the rest of the invasion fleet after figuring out what to do.
