Could be interseting.

Always excited about a new Valiant title.

I like the name

My 2 guesses of what it might be

1) Sounds like a good pulpy crime noir name ... Maybe that Venditti detective crime comic coming to fruition?

2) Could be an offshoot of Dead hand ... maybe a character that comes out of that X-O story arc

Excited to see what it could be!

Bleeding cool often jumps to conclusions about such things. I would bet it's just a story arc... A crossover at the most.

Perhaps a new mini coming in May? We have plenty of open spots for that month, and it would make sense they start teasing it now before the May solicitations come out middle of Feb.

But .. but ...but ... that would be bad journalism from bleeding cool!

Don't they have a reputation to protect!

I agree with you on this one.

I think there are two spots left (if sticking with the 9 per month for May):

1. Bloodshot Reborn #2
2. Imperium #4
3. Ivar, Timewalker #5
4. XO Manowar #36
5. Ninjak #3
6. Divinity #4 (of 4)
7. Unity #18
8.
9.

IF Dead Drop isn't a story arc (which I think is the most likely scenario) perhaps it could be the name of an event mini focusing on the supernatural corner of the Valiant U? In which case, we could see:

8. The Death-Defying Doctor Migage Second Life #1 (ongoing

)
9. Darque Passages #1 (of 4)

followed by June's 9th title replacing Diviniy:

Shadowmen #1 (yep, I said 'men' not 'man' - could bring an interesting dynamic to the past and present Shadowman)

This is why it's al,out guaranteed to be a story arc. We know Dr. Mirage is comng back, EW has another mini coming and Q&W will likely be on the stands every month. Two of those take spots 8 & 9 and the other takes Divinity's slot in June. Plus Rai will return shortly thereafter.

Those were my thoughts too; maybe something to do with a summer event?

Has a new EW mini been announced? I missed that.

If so the ongoing is *really* on hiatus isn't it?

With May being FCBD month. Companies normally take advantage of at least one big launch to coincide with the first saturday of the month, and go alongside their FCBD offerings.

My bet is that it's the name of an arc for Armorines.

I was thinking more Secret Weapons...

Well I wasn't gonna comment on this as I didn't see the immediate potential connection to Valiant universe. So I looked up "dead drop" in wikipedia and it describes it as an espionage term. So my guess is it might have something to do with Ninjak or possibly a Secret Weapons book. I really have no idea which, and it's so little of rumor to go on.

I love all the speculation.

Well if it was "Drop Dead" I would think it's about Dunlow

BTW, there is Dead Drop possibly coming up, and we know about Dead Hand. Naming coincidence or something more?
