Bruce will get the database updated again as soon as possible.

With that being said.... You know to a lot of people these are just comic reviews, but to Bruce and I these Rounds are documents of our life that we put year in and year out. We've been doing Valiant projects for over a year and I just want to say "thank you" for being a part of this journey. Bruce and I wouldn't be doing this without you guys. You've support us on these project and we really do appreciate that.
Back at you! This is fantastic of both of you to put this much time and effort into something that gets everybody up and moving.

:high-five:

And, when we started this there were 1200 total reviews between the three sites. As of now, there are 3,217reviews in the three sites, more than double what we started with :o

28 members are fully qualified and TODAY IS THE LAST DAY :o . Will YOU make your posting goal and get in on purchasing the NYCC X O #0 con exclusive and/or the X O Vinyl Figure :? It's all up to you. Plus, with us now having more than twice as many reviews as we started with, I have a sneaking suspicion that VEI is going to be pretty happy with these results, and we all know what they did the last two times they were pleased :hm: :hm: :hm:

If you're close and need to know what you're missing, just ask and I can tell you.

For you guys who are close, here's my handy-dandy guide to quick reviews:
depluto wrote:100 words is easy ...

Run down the book's basic details, mention whether the writer and artist did a good/bad job and talk for a sentence about whether or not you would recommend this book.

105-word example: The trade paperback Name Here covers issues xx-xx of the Valiant comic, Name Goes Here. This book covers the story arc where (Plot goes here and here and here and here … no spoilers). The Action and the Intrigue and the Story and maybe a little bit of romance.
Writer Name Here goes above and beyond telling the story of this and this. And the art of Name Here perfectly captures the mood with vibrant art and cleverly drawn panels.
If you’re a fan of anything I just mentioned, be sure to pick this one up. This was an easy choice to give X stars.


See? Easy. Now get to work!

LAST REMINDER TO ORDER CON EXCLUSIVES:

If you want to order the XO Manowar #0 NYCC con exclusive and are fully qualified, tonight is your last chance to order as many as you want at $15.00 per copy. Likewise, is it the last day to order the XO Manowar NYCC vinyl figure for $25.00 each with a limit of two per qualified member.

By end of day tomorrow, please Paypal your purchase amount to me at brucehartshorn@comcast.net as a gift to save on fees. Will let people know what shipping cost is for your purchases after getting them and after we hear if there will be an "extra" thank you from VEI. On Wednesday The 8th I have to send VEI the proceeds for purchases so they set them aside befor NYCC starts.

Click on "Send & Request" at the top, then click on "Send money to friends or family".

This is assuming you are using the website and not the app. I don't know about the app.

I'm done and you are disqualified jerkface-

Matt Kindt rules! This book is sooo awesome!

I was curious to see how this mish-mash of VEI universe heroes placed in a single team would work. It works wonderfully. The first team even includes Harada who is typically a villain (he's actually the architect of the team) who assembles the team in order to combat the threat of X-O Manowar Aric who has claimed a section of Romania.

The art is great and the amount of both plot and character development that Kindt manages to pack into this book is amazing.

Suck it! I'll make sure to fix that! Jerk.

I'm pretty sure I'm done. Just under the wire, too. I just have to make sure everything is showing up on that pesky Canadian site! (I'm sure there is some conspiracy there!)

Just finished getting all of mine up, but man I really need to go back and revise some of those, as I really had to rush at the end. (And…um, I was kinda going off my memory of my first read for some of the volumes at the end there.)
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
