I've got to say folks, at roughly 7 reviews per book (on average), the .co.uk domain customer critique is looking a little healthier than the puny 3 reviews (on average) that they had only two days ago.

We were being introduced to the character at the same time as Archer. I know Gilad seemed a bit intense but we were able to view him in this way that it would make us think "who is this dangerous maniac", until such times as we come to know him better in his own series.hawkeyeps wrote:tchalla8 wrote:
I rated A&A 4/5 due to Gilad's poor debut in issue 5.
As I don't read Q & W I can't speak for them, but I guess the weakest ratings I have given so far would be for Bloodshot, but in saying that, I am still very much enjoying that series.
I guess I really wasn't expecting much in the way of character development to be honest, I was expecting more of that in his own title.
I think we saw more about Aram's relationship toward him rather, but I had a good laugh at their interactions.
My mistake, I thought you were meaning just Gilad, but then I thought we were seeing Aram's character come out a bit, the way he was criticizing Gilad as he was fighting. I kind of thought that sounded like typical sibling one upmanship, in that Aram must always feel a bit inferior, or should I say he feels he doesn't measure up to Gilad.
I see where you are coming from though, but personally, I really enjoyed that arc.

for those that saw Bruce's request for transferring their reviews over to the .co.uk and .ca domains and have done so.

Re: ROUND #2 NYCC CON EXCLUSIVE - LIMITED TO FIRST 50 MEMBER
Just added my review of X-O Manowar Vol. 1 which should pop up on listing within the next 48 hours (at least according to their site). This will bring my total to 3 reviews so far.
AND I just noticed the links at the very bottom of Amazon's page that would let me switch to .uk and .ca pages.
Will see about adding my reviews to those esteemed pages.

Re: ROUND #2 NYCC CON EXCLUSIVE - LIMITED TO FIRST 50 MEMBER
As of now, we do not have any information VEI con exclusives are for NYCC.
Being that the headquarters is in NYC, we're expecting this to be no less than spectacular.
Stay tuned.

Re: ROUND #2 NYCC CON EXCLUSIVE - LIMITED TO FIRST 50 MEMBER
Today's count is 17 members who are now qualified. And, there are only 28 days left to do all 10 reviews
At this point we're not even up to the 22 members who got the extra on round #1
Wed. this week will be sending pms to members who have yet to do their reviews as a reminder.

Re: ROUND #2 NYCC CON EXCLUSIVE - LIMITED TO FIRST 50 MEMBER
Yeah .ca would let me write one for XO 3 either but I found a work around, if you view all reviews you will see a tab that says "create your own review". You can do it that way, that's how I did it.brucehartshorn wrote:Just went to Amazon.ca and put up 9 reviews (wouldn't let me do X O #3 yet), and 10 reviews at Amazon.uk.

Re: ROUND #2 NYCC CON EXCLUSIVE - LIMITED TO FIRST 50 MEMBER
Thank you!Im going to review each new tpb as soon as they are released after the ten(but it may take a few days to get each new one in).Getting the word out hopefully helps VEI and I want to do my part even if in a little way.

Re: ROUND #2 NYCC CON EXCLUSIVE - LIMITED TO FIRST 50 MEMBER
It's weird how Amazon.in just mirrors the reviews on Amazon.com, but Amazon.ca doesn't.
