Okay, got it done. That's 32 reviews (including 2 not on the list) for all softcover Valiant trades on all three sites.
I wonder what it would be like to be a lonely, muck-encrusted monster? Probably be an improvement.

Nice! I really look forward to an X-O action figure!

When do we need to get reviews in? I have reading to do!

Checking from my iphone, so maybe this has been posted already. Can you post what was required for round 2, so I know what 20 are missing? (I can probably look it up, but I am in the car and lazy)

So far only completed X-O Manowar, working on Harbinger next. Wondering how I reviewed Bloodshot 1,2 and 4 but missed #3 :hm:

Also, when doing the Harbinger review I have to say how much I love that series. While I like the one shots and mini, I really want to see the renegades back in their ongoing title. Harbinger had some of valiant best stories :rant:

So, I'm going to be giving the 2nd TPB of Quantum and Woody some bad reviews. I can't in good conscious do otherwise. I almost feel it would be better to comment on the quality of the physical TPB than discuss the contents.

It is OK to not give a good review. Just give an honest one. That is all anyone wants.

Just want to toss out there that the Valiant Humble Bundle is a great way to re-read many of these arcs before writing a review without getting your grubby hands on your floppies.

If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Advising all participants to have all reviews completed earlier at least a week before the deadline. The reason why is Amazon UK and Canada at times require 48-72 hours before publishing reviews.

3-4 a day is enough more manageable than doing all 30 in 1 day :)

There is very little chance I can get 20 more reviews written and posted by EOW. Work is crazy next week (several 18 hour days) and I have several more volumes to read. I'll do my best, but it's pretty unlikely.

I did manage to get the first 10 submitted to all 3 sites. 20 more to go!
