I imagine this is a clue, but I'm trying to figure out what makes sense in that space that's similar enough to filter:lorddunlow wrote:What gets turned into NOOGIES?Shadowman99 wrote:Haha, yeah, it's a weird board auto-censor that I didn't even notice!lorddunlow wrote:Is the NOOGIES some weird board censorship, or do I need a British-American translation?Shadowman99 wrote: so I don't even have that *NOOGIES* any more.

Seriously, "What do you want to read first?" has suddenly become a very apt question!

If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I've given up trying to understand the Queen's English. 'Tis an perplexing language.
*SQUEE* your science, I have a machine gun.

Even though I am now no more than 1 month behind at a time, I am really confused to with the announcements.IMJ wrote:I'm actually pretty confused as to what's been considered an ongoing and what's cancelled and whatnot. It seems that Archer and Armstrong and Q&W books are cancelled... at what issue?Chiclo wrote:6 books in 6 months. Frell. How many books are being cancelled going into this?
At first this seems like a bad idea but Valiant has been firing on all cylinders so far and I trust that they know what they are doing.
I thought Shadowman was cancelled, but it's continuing as a series of mini series (one of my biggest pet peeves in comics - I've always viewed those "safe" moves by a publisher as a historic notice of waning problems).
Rai looks great - I'll buy that one for as long as it's first volume lasts. If it's a mini series or goes the mini route I'll drop it.
I've got several months worth of Valiant back reading to do, so maybe that will help, but basically my philosophy nowadays is to buy ongoings and not Acclaim-style mini series.

VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month
