Oh, it happened. Sonicdan even managed to keep a straight face.
It's basically warrior pose with more of a right angle torso twist. Here's a pic of a dude doing it (to ruin your visual)

Two Zeroes in one month, last quarter no less. Kinda odd.

Armor Hunters will have wrapped up, and since that is going to have universe-wide ramifications, taking a step back and exploring origins before starting the next wave of stories is a good way to get readers "settled" and ready for something new. Also makes a good jumping-on point.jmatt wrote:Two Zeroes in one month, last quarter no less. Kinda odd.

I think he'd be more comfortable with the X-O pose.

I'm sensing a new theme for fan art friday. Valiant Fans editions of covers, featuring you all recreating the scenes (note that I said "you" and not "me")

Re: Newsarama: Mann Goes Exclusive w/ X-O Manowar #0
LOL so you guys ruined that awesome piece of art for me thanks! anyways, any ideas where Mann could end up? X-O is obviously possible, but maybe a new book? How about...give me some Master Darque damnit.

Neat pic. I didn't notice the baby till the second or third viewing and might never have noticed the butt shot except for people pointing it out.

Re: Newsarama: Mann Goes Exclusive w/ X-O Manowar #0
I'm excited for this, I really like Mann's work. But is it just me or does it seem like he struggles sometimes to get a monthly book out. When he was on Gambit marvel sometimes had to use another artist to finish the book to get it out on time or even do a whole issue so Mann could catch up. This might not be an issue with Valiant's policy of having an artist take breaks between story arcs, but I'm just saying...

You know, he'd be perfect to launch a new Ninjak ongoing. Mann on art, Kindt writing...I smell success. But that's just me. Venditti & Kindt have made me a uberfan of Ninjak since I've began reading Valiant.

I don't know. Kindt's output is pretty ridiculous. I think he's perfectly capable of making it work or has a clone that is capable of helping him make it work.Shadowman99 wrote:Matt Kindt can't write everything that Valiant produce![]()
