Then I would do Bloodshot/Rai as a flip book, past present kind of thing, and see how their lives mirror each other (If indeed RAI is in some point in the future) Then I would introduce ShadowMan and Master Darque in Eternal Warrior, because they are all pretty much of the "Supernatural" genre and not really too related to the "Superpowered" or "Sci-Fi" heroes.

I think you have the order correct with a new #1 coming out each month. Interesting idea with the Rai flip book.
I agree that the Rai/Bloodshot flip book would be a great idea. That way they could get more characters out there without having too many titles, plus you could run a parallel between the stories to show their similarities / differences. If it were to happen, though, I think it'd be a limited thing. I don't see Valiant wanting to share Bloodshot with any other characters.

I also think you are right on the money with the release order, MarrowMan. So maybe Harbinger in early June?

I think a BloodShot/Rai Flipbook would be a great idea, doesn't ncesessarily have to be a starter but a mini or something down the line would rule. :thumb:

Is there an appetite for flip-books in the wider market? I am not so sure as either page count for the twin stories is driven down, or a higher page-count book is released at relatively high price-point, which could be risky if trying to grab new readers.
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month

If that's the case^ then do it more as a "preview" like image comics did with "Chew" back in the pages of The Walking Dead

Agree that Rai/Bloodshot flipbook would be awesome and makes a lot of sense.
