Nice one :D

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.

Big :clap: "Well Done" :clap: for those that saw Bruce's request for transferring their reviews over to the .co.uk and .ca domains and have done so.

I rated A&A 4/5 due to Gilad's poor debut in issue 5.
On this one I was the complete opposite, I thought that it was very clever how they introduced Gilad from an outsider's viewpoint. 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.

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.

:)
My problem with that issue is I remember there being very little in the way of character development.


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.
I meant that more along the lines of the development of any character. I'd much prefer a decent amount of development of plot or character than a fight or a chase any day. At least in the latest X-O we had some of that as the two were going at it.

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. :)

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. facepalm

Will see about adding my reviews to those esteemed pages.

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.

Today's count is 17 members who are now qualified. And, there are only 28 days left to do all 10 reviews :o

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.

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. Wasn't hard at all and took less than an hour to do all 19.

Some members have helped out in this way already and a :thumb: for that! Hopefully more of us will take the opportunity to assist VEI in this manner.

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.

It's weird how Amazon.in just mirrors the reviews on Amazon.com, but Amazon.ca doesn't.
