Really big month, some great stories. Awesome covers, too. That Bloodshot one is horrifying. I really like Faith, glad we're going to hear more of her story. Is #4 the last arc in this Shadowman story?

I can't wait until tomorrow, either. New releases, yay!

I like the look of most of the titles, but I still hate the look of Chainsaw. It's just too over the top for my taste. I hope it's better in the book.

Hoo-boy, what a month indeed!! So much coolness happening across all the titles... I almost can't stand being teased with this great stuff so far in advance. So awesome that we're getting the Harby 0 & 9 in the same month. And very cool that Harby 9 is sounding like a nod to the original #13 :thumb:

I agree. I've loved every creative decision they've made so far, but Chainsaw just looks terrible. I could end up eating my words after I read the book though.

On the surface, Chainsaw sounds very much like a 90's 'extreme cool' concept, as it originally was... I would expect they've got some decent ideas to update it though, even if the new versions of the characters still look like Franken-borgs. I'll reserve judgment 'till I see it. :hope:

Really surprised that the Bloodshot trade is still the same price as the Harbinger trade from the previous month since BS has one less issue reprinted. I know the X-O trade for December was an intro low price but you'd at least think the Bloodshot one would have a price somewhere in between the X-O and Harbinger trades. Its getting steep just for a 4 part story these days. VEI's prices are still lower than a 4-5 issue trade from IDW though, $18-20 usually. If you combined the cover prices of the $3.99 comics x 4 your still saving a buck with the BS trade. Its just that from the low price of the X-O trade to the Harbinger trade you were saving $5-6 off cover prices had you bought the comics themselves in the end. Just my two cents.
