I think we might have been better off guessing without the clue.
That's useless!

Re: It Just got Even Better to be a Valiant Supporter!!! **
Heads up to the 22 supporters who did all 4 Valiant Reviews and are in line to get the "extra" which we have mentioned previously:
Just today Elery picked up 22 copies of the Valiant 2013 Summer Preview which will be included in the packet he ships out to you!
The first half of it is Q & W preview and the 2nd half is Harbinger Wars #1 Preview. If you skip over to the VEI site you can see a picture of the cover of this.
Then, I wanted to compliment everyone on their guesses for the clues you've had so far. We have some great and insightful thoughts on the "extra" and I can tell you one of you is V E R Y close to nailing it. Congrats. Just know Elery is working on one more thing to make the best even better than either of us anticipated. It will certainly be worth the wait and none of you will be disappointed.

Bruce is right!.
The Valiant 2013 Summer Preview Book will be included with the bonus.
Dinesh said that this book is available for the very first time at The LA Times Book Festival and all the 22 participants will be getting one.

Oh.. I almost forgot. Thank you VEI for providing a stack of the 2013 Summer Preview Books for the 22 participants.
Here is a photo of the stack of books. (not in 8 bit format)

The big image on the upper left are the five renegades (five is good). Then we have Archer and Armstrong in the upper right. Aric and Bloodshot are the ones in front. They represent the four titles who got promoted in this effort and they are saying thank you.
LOL. That's my guess.

Re: It Just got Even Better to be a Valiant Supporter!!! **
Awesome! I wanted one of those! 
The new clue looks like a QR code to me. Someone snap a picture of it and see what it brings up.
Other thoughts: 5/9 is May 9th. But there's nothing scheduled for release on May 9. But "how great is 9"... 9 is 4 more than 5... and there are two books scheduled for release May 4: the FCBD regular book and the FCBD Showcase Edition (which I hadn't even heard of until I looked up soon to be released issues).

5, 9. It's gotta be something to do with the 5 released titles. Maybe 9 total titles by end of 2013.

Re: It Just got Even Better to be a Valiant Supporter!!! **
i've been staring at that image for awhile and my head is hurting .. trying to see if i could match it up to a recent cover
I'm gonna guess that the item is a poster with 9 8-bit covers - the five we know plus 4 more. Maybe Q&W, Ninjak, EW and Rai
or 9 signatures on a FCBD comic

Can't guess.Only thing that comes to mind is the old Thompson Twins logo. Just makes it more fun to wait and see.drmirage wrote:Since no one guessed correctly, here is another clue in 8-bit format.

One last guess, (and it's a real stretch) "5 is good, 9 is great "
5 points of articulation is good for a action figure but 9 points of articulation is great.
