I'm not seeing much point to this series. The artwork sucks and though I thought the writing on the first issue was fun, I felt like the second was written by someone who knew little about Archer. I buy this only because I buy all Valiant, but I'll be glad when Dead Drop and Imperium are done.

Me too. :thumb:

I would rank it easily in VEI's top 3, and quite probably as the best book they have done from this reader's perspective. :thumb:

Still, different strokes for different folks. :thumb:
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month

I liked the art.

This thread needs some "positive" vibes. That's the most I can do :D I don't hate it as much as some, but I thought it was a step down from issue 1. Hopefully issues 3 and 4 are better.

Oh, I thought you meant you only liked the art and not the story in Imperium. Thought that was an odd thing to say! :lol: Didn't realise you were talking about Dead Drop!

Well, I'm not really a fan of Dead Drop, but there are (thankfully) only two more issues to go, so I don't see any harm in buying them to see what happens in the end :)

In actuality, I really didn't like the story in Imperium #5. I guess maybe my expectations were too high. It was better than Dead Drop #2, though.

Michael Spicer's colors are awesome! But... it's not enough. I'll be voting with my dollar and skipping issue #3.
