I can't decide if I love or hate that Veregge cover for Bloodshot Reborn. I think I'll have to buy it :)

I was initially thinking of getting the handbook but decided against it, only because I havent gone back to the other 2 that were published last year and the year prior - plus, if you read most of the comics it doesnt really offer anything new. It is a great entry point for new readers though.

It was free the first time for Free Comic Book Day. It hasn't been free subsequently.

I'll be getting them all. The floppies for April, that is. Not the TPB's or Deluxe Hardbacks, sadly.

Aside from feeling a little light not to bad of a lineup. X-O drones sound so cool

It has had a HC for a number of months, but you are correct. I find it more interesting that Q2 is volume 4 of the original Quantum and Woody TPBs.

Ok, I'm sold on getting the Valiant Handbook - that cover looks too damn fine to pass up (I might go back and re-read the previous editions too).

Some observations on the Handbook:
1. Emphasis on characters that appear in Rai (makes sense given the 4001 A.D. event)
2. No Renegades apart from Faith (obvious choice to appear given her solo mini)
3. Gn-Gr is larger than life without Unity. Is she set for some sort of prelude role to 4001 A.D.? That would be cool.
4. Neela! Yeah, she's a cool chick, I hope we see much more of her.
5. Shadowman and Punk Mambo look set to get more prominent roles (as evident by the current Ninjak art). Usually these books highlight characters that Valiant is focusing on with upcoming titles/guest appearances :thumb:

I think I've talked myself into getting this well and truly :D
