Saw this on Bleeding Cool:

Sounds like we will see some interesting stuff this week!

[leonmallett]

Just read the side-bars on that page for Archer & Armstrong, describing Archer as 'teenage marksman'. Um. I hope not another example of a writer not actually understanding the capabilities of a key character (after Dead Drop).

Back on topic...

This pleases me:

Earth must rise. Father must fall. Rai! Eternal Warrior! X-O Manowar! Bloodshot! Geomancer! Armstrong! And more! The war for the ultimate fate of humanity begins in 4001 A.D.!

Suddenly the 4001 AD version of VALIANT Earth will feel a little less insular. I don't want or feel the need for time-hopping from t'then'to 'now', but the inclusion of an X-O Manowar, Armstrong and Bloodshot and possibly others among the cast we have seen in Rai so far is a good thing, a route to opening up that era.

I do hope for Psi-Lords (like we saw when HARD Corps was introduced via Harbinger Wars).

looks pretty cool. would have preferred a 4001ad-anthology through. those events every half a year, not quite my thing. one every two-three years would be more interesting (and spectacular).
having said that, this, of all the stuff we've had until now, feels closest to a unity-kind of event.

Considering that many people seem to want to see Rai more often, I think this event will feel like we're getting a bit caught up on the missed months. What I like especially is that it seems the event is isolated to fans of one series. If you don't follow Rai, you're not going to miss anything by skipping it.

Dear Summer...

Didn't bloodshot die before 4001 in BoD:FoBS? So how does he appear? XO (Aric is also dead before 4001, but XO solicited could mean his daughter featured in BoD:FoXO).... New Japan looks cool though, ala VH1 New Japan....

What's that New Japan's set to bite? Looks like a bulked up XO armor. Ala Hulkbuster armor

I'm also interested to see who's wearing the XO armour in 4001.

I think that X-O, Bloodshot and Archer might be taken to 4001 by Neela, I kind of hope they don't do that though.

[Daniel Jackson]

Love the cover. Can't wait for this.

I think Armstrong features in the comic, not Archer. I guess in theory any character could be taken anywhere in time by Ivar/Neela. Probably see it happen at some point in the future, as Armstrong/EW were already taken to 4001 by Ivar in his comic.

Second Teaser is up:

In theory, all those characters could still exist in some way/shape/form in 4001. Granted, it would probably be a new person in the X-O armor, and Bloodshot would be on his almost last legs.

Interesting. Presumably time to start mumbling 'Mothergod' or something?

So will the third cosmonaut be revealed in Divinity II or Divinity III?

I hope II and or III, are not complete origins of the next two cosmonauts. It's still so much ground that needs to be covered with Divinity, and unfortunately, they're sticking to the 4 issue format.

[Ras the future fan]

Both books look amazing, I'm going to guess that we'll get Bloodshot Island teaser tomorrow and Britannia by Thursday.

True, I'm still waiting for the 1960's Black Russian Communist part to kick in.

Genuine question here, not trying to wind you up: How could Archer be alive in 4001? Would it be something to do with his psiot abilities, or an ability to traverse time somewhat via the Faraway perhaps?

I guess the three Divinities were all revealed in the original arc, as it stated pretty clearly that three cosmonaughts went on the mission.

You're not the only person to have 'Mothergod' pop into their mind. I wonder if there will be a Phil Seleski/Erica Pierce parallel further down the line between Abram and this second cosmonaught?

Maybe it's a matter of patience - I'd love to see the entire second and third arcs constitute the origin story for the other two cosmonaughts that were on Abram's ship, with further arcs from there using the characters in more interactive contexts. I don't mind a story being told slowly and patiently if it's a good one

[Shadowman99]

Did anybody else cringe at the "Hey, it worked for Thor" opening line of that article?

There's usually at least one cringe-worthy statement in any article on Bleeding Cool. I've just grown used to it.

At the rate they're releasing these mini's, (once every 12-14 months) if they went that route, Kindt wouldn't touch base with Divinity again until 2018.

I think people are over reacting to that teaser image. We already knew the female astronaut would be appearing in the follow up mini. I doubt VEI is stupid enough to not feature their breakout creation in the second eponymous miniseries. I have a feeling this astronaut comes to Earth as a result of Divinity's arrival here.
