DC has beaten the word Crisis to death and watered down the original meaning each time.

Last thing we need is Unity 2008 to do the same to the word Unity.

It's time to move to another word.

First there was Unity, then there was Chaos... now there is....

Mirror Image huh? That one is too easy. Sounds like the plot to Infinity War though...heh.

I know they have been taking interest in Shadowman and Eternal Warrior of recent. Hopefully New titles are in the works as well as some more hardcovers.

I'm hoping they start with a strong foundation and solid material before they even think of retailer incentives, variants, and the like.

Honestly, it would be nice to see a company NOT do 5 different covers and a sketch-cover 2nd print, et. al....

VALIANT should always be a bit different that the big 2... catering towards intelligence, not speculation...

QFT. It is making me sick seeing all these cover variants out right now.

Eh. It doesn't bother me with the Marvel books. They are mostly 50/50 cover splits so I just pick the cover I like best.

Don't get me wrong. I pretty much hate variants, but quality is not suffering right now. It's not like the 90s where the focus was only on making a buck even when the story was crap. The books I'm reading are good even with the variants.

Now if you are talking something like Zoom Suit where the whole purpose was to make money by getting you guys to buy all the variant covers behind a crap story..... Now THAT I have a serious problem with.
