so, who'll write?

my bet's on either ales kot, simon spurrier or joshua williamson. another bold choice would be adam egypt mortimer (gis sci-fi epic ballistic is killing it). or maybe it'll be matt kindt's 10th monthly book, who knows..

Why does anyone think that it's an ad for a new series? Maybe it's for his return in Eternal Warrior, same way as VEI has done with Ninjak, Eternal Warrior and others.

I think we all just want it to be a new book. I would love it if they did an EW/Rai flip book just like in VH1 with Magnus/Rai.

I'm not a big fan of flip books, personally. Hopefully they don't revisit THAT aspect!

Not sure too many are; can't think of many flip-books in recent years, but that of course could be due to risk averse publishers.

Trillium #1. There was also an Image book recently, but I forget the name

There are a few, but amid the several thousand new comic books per annum, very, very few, and less than 1% I would say, maybe as low as 0.1%.

I'll admit, my beef towards them stems from my anal attitude towards binding my comics into hardcover. Unless each book ends in the exact middle, my binds end up having the upside-down page of the other side's book on the final page of the story. Blech! :P

For binding it would be a pain, but I actually liked the Valiant flipbooks.

Thanks for posting that. I didn't get a chance to get to my LCS so I downloaded it and read it on my iPad today. Of course that cover is not there so I couldn't see that.

There should be a character called Spoiler who constantly tells you what happens in the next issue.
I would totally read that book!
But only if they called him Spoiley.

I feel it's going to be more of their first real hero. Everyone else all have ulterior motives while RAI was/is always meant to be a hero.
