Hey Guys, I thought I would start a new poll to see how everyone is enjoying the titles thus far...for me Harbinger is still my favorite (it's just a very complete product inside and out), but X-O's story is finally developing to a point that it's comparable.

I pick Bloodshot#3, and A&A last, there's something about the dialogue with A&A that I don't care for, but I admit #2 was better than #1. I'll re-read them again when #3 comes out and see if it starts to stick...

Ironically the kid at the counter really liked A&A; I told him to check out Harby, and I'll see what he thinks of it...

Harby is still the clear cut number one for me, but the other three are neck and neck since XO #5.

1st) X-O
close 2nd) Harbinger
3rd) Bloodshot
4th) A&A

V-Ditti's writing along with the art of Nord and Garbett edges it for me, but the standard is incredibly high. Issue #5 was an instant classic!

Harbinger lost as few points for me when Stanchek was rapping?! :?

So, does that mean raping is bad, but rapping is worse? :hm:

That depends. He was rapping Nas, so rape is waaaay worse. I won't diminish the seriousness of rape, which we still don't know Pete committed, but you could do much worse than Nas...

Went with "Bloodshot so far" with a side order of "really looking forward to Shadowman."

I have enjoyed reading all the titles more than any current mainstream DC or Marvel book. :cloud9:

Issue 5 of X-O pulled the title back into the lead for me.

Still Harbinger for me - but not by a lot anymore. X-O came from fourth to second rather quickly.

BLOODSHOT is the best to me so far.
For some reason I thought it was really funny when he stopped on the side of the rode to eat a cow. He most likely didn't eat the entire cow, but I like to think that he did. :angel:

I look forward to each series, they are all very different, with different things happening. But I will say Harbinger has such cinematic quality. Bring on ShadowMan though.

Still enjoy X-O the most, but Bloodshot is a very, very close second (which is surprising because Bloodshot was one of the least interesting characters for me out of the 4 relaunched titles). Harbinger is a close third and unfortunately A&A is still a distant fourth.

Can't wait to start picking up Shadowman. Although I collected the series (VH1) I was never that big of a fan of it for some reason. Bob Hall's stories and art (especially loved his art) were great but the character himself never clicked for me.

Harbinger is still #1 for me with Bloodshot a close #2 and X-O was a distant #3 but is neck and neck now.

A&A is still a distant #4 which is truly a shame.

Archer & Armstrong for me; I probably expected the least from this and yet it has been the mostly rounded entertainment for me so far from the line.

But like X-O HoboJoe I have great expectations for Shadowman.

Since I'm torturing myself and only reading completed arcs.. and having to wait for the issues for them to complete... I won't know for another few months. Had to pick Ice Cream... I was rather hungry anyway.

I know. I've been fighting the urge to look at every spolier that's released. No way I could not read the issues as they came out.
