Is the NOOGIES some weird board censorship, or do I need a British-American translation?
Haha, yeah, it's a weird board auto-censor that I didn't even notice! :lol:

Seriously, "What do you want to read first?" has suddenly become a very apt question!
What gets turned into NOOGIES?
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:

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.

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'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?

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.
Even though I am now no more than 1 month behind at a time, I am really confused to with the announcements. :|
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month
