NEWS FLASH: Dallow is going to buy one of Antos's books.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT April 2020 Solicitations
For sure:
Rai 6 (holy *SQUEE* Ryp is still on pencils)
The Final Witness 1 (looks great, but more electric superpowers? Seems a little Visitor-y)
Most likely:
X-O Manowar 2
The Visitor 5
Probably:
Doctor Tomorrow 3
Quantum & Woody! 4
Bloodshot 8 (might drop this after #0)

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT April 2020 Solicitations
Exactly this! I don’t want Antos to fail because a) I’ve got nothing against her as a person (I just disagree with her woke politics)Chiclo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 8:25:52 amIt's not personal.

b) if she fails it’s bad for Valiant
If the current crew start churning out quality books from quality creative teams then I’m all on board, they haven’t yet but hope springs eternal

It looks like some of the titles will have 1:20 and 1:25 ratio variants available.
Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT April 2020 Solicitations
If the cover direction was for generic action or standing poses, the more generic the better, the cover artists succeeded brilliantly. I hope somebody is keeping track of the number of X-O covers where's he's posing generically with the silly light sword. 100 by now? 200? Another month of meh. Pass

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT April 2020 Solicitations
Quoted for truth. Seriously generic covers greatly outnumber the few that have a bit of dramatic atmosphere to them. Is anyone paying attention to this trend? Who thinks its such a good idea that all these samey images keep getting approved?

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT April 2020 Solicitations
And XO was delayed a few months to ‘get it right’ so there’s no reason why the covers can’t reflect the storyline if they’re been working so far in advance?

You guys really need to lower your expectations.Dallow Spicer1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 12:34:47 amAnd XO was delayed a few months to ‘get it right’ so there’s no reason why the covers can’t reflect the storyline if they’re been working so far in advance?
It'd be much worse if there was more storyline on the covers than inside the books.
