You don't know how relieved I am to read that. I thought I must be fantastically dumb for not getting everything after two viewings. Three viewings should get a person college credit and figuring it out should get someone a genius grant.
Just look at that timeline. No wonder. I kept watching it thinking "I should be able to figure this out...".

How about Chuck Dixon on Bloodshot.
Brian Azzarello on Eternal Warrior.
Jonathan Hickman on Unity.
Nathan Edmondson on either Bloodshot or a H.A.R.D. Corp title.
Rick Remender on Harbinger.

If you haven't yet check out Jenkin's "Deathmatch" this guy knows how to build a believable world.
I have not read a lot of books by Paul Jenkins, but he wrote one of my hands-down all-time favourite sci-fi robot stories - Construct (Published by Caliber Press). I also liked his run on Incredible Hulk many years ago, brief as it was.

If Matt Kindt ever leaves RAI, I think Jenkins would be an excellent replacement.

i found out through wikipedia last year that jenkins has had a hand in most of my favorite comics. (wasn't paying attention to who wrote what back in the day)

I just had a look too - I will definitely have to check out his Hellblazer run now - I have only collected up to around #40 of that series.

Didn't realize he wrote the Wolvie Origins mini either, haven't read that in a long time. :thumb:

Thinking on solid writers that are actually kinda missing I'd say:

Steven T. Seagle or Paul Jenkins on Master Darque/Shadowman (altough I am a big fan of Peter Milligan)
John Ostrander on Bloodshot
JM deMateis on Q&W
Just my 2 cents (of an euro)

That's what I'm saying! This guy wrote some of the more rememberable books. I agree with cornflake put him on shadowman.

D'OH! I can't believe I didn't think of Ivan Brandon for Bloodshot, H.A.R.D. Corps or even a Ninjak title. His writing for Men of War and Doc Savage was great. I think he could really get into the soldier/warrior mentality for the above Valiant titles.

I would love to write Bloodshot...or a HardCorps mini...or Harbinger if Dysart stops writing the characters. Yeah, I know the title is "ending" at issue 25, but it sounds like there are plans for a relaunch after the mini series are over
I <3 Faith!!!

here are my Valiant Kindle World stories!
