Mike Leeke's a co-architect? So that's what you call the guy who drew most of the issues in the trade but doesn't get an art credit in the Previews' ad/solicitation. :P

Good to know the short story will have good art.

Bob Layton is named as co-architect. :D
Diamond usually lists only one writer and one artist in their solicitations. We were able to get two writers and two artists listed, wish we could have listed everybody :(

Everyone should definitely check this out. The early Valiant comics were pretty good.

Don't know how I missed this. The recoloring on the X-O zero piece looks amazing. Layton/Leeke is an X-O dream team.

Looking through the current Previews, other companies don't to seem to have that problem. Saw a lot of solicitations with 6-9 creators listed (both on full page solicitations and the smaller ones). Serveral trades have 4-5 writers and 4-5 artists listed on the same solicitation.

preorder in february's previews for items due in april


Actually i'm out.
i bought the harbinger HC and it was great but i really can afford starting and HC collection of all valiant.

Iwould go for essential black and white big chunk of stuff but I really can't see myself going HC for full valiant.... nor starting a collection that may not go to its end (though i really hope not of course).

February Previews came out today at my LCS so I was browsing and found the X-O/Harbinger ad! Good Job getting it in the first few pages of the book! I started getting giddy and can't wait to get my pre-order in!

Rock on DNV! :thumb: :clap:

Ooohh! Hopefully this Previews will be in at my LCS this Friday when I go. I'll have to see about ordering one of those two. I know the Harbinger book has been out for a bit already. If I ordered on now, it shouldn't take till April to get it, right? I know the XO book doesn't come out till April though. I need to space those out a bit so I don't pay for them at the same time.

I just got back from my LCS. Got goosebumps seeing the ads and solicits in
the new Previews. Pointed it out to my shop owner. He will be ordering my
copies and as well as some for store stock! :thumb:

If you order from Diamond, you won't get Harbinger until April (same time as X-O).

If you order from Amazon.com, you can get Harbinger in August 2007.
(Well, some of us did, anyway. :) But you can get it immediately.)
