I thought we could do a book a day (that way people can read one every day or catch up on weekends), talk about it on its own, in the context of whats next, in regards to what expectations it creates and vote on how good it is. I don't have to be the one that posts everyday. If I miss a day or if someone wants to take over please do

For voting think of your single favourite comic book (not just VALIANT) as the benchmark - thats a 10 - and grade according to that.

Make sure to mention what you like'd about the book, what you didn't, what you wish they would have done, your favourite panels, lines of dialogue, little bits of trivia etc.

This is the closure to a story that didn't need to happen. Aric's in the armor and Paul has a new trick. Otherwise pretty much the same as last issue.

So now Paul can make another totally seperate suit for his "conscience" to control and we'll call him 'Alloy' now? Riiiiight. I thought the idea for having a separate 50 X & 50 O issue was pretty cool, too bad they couldn't have come up with an interesting story to go along with it.

All this issue amounts to is page after page of slick artwork with another big battle in the midst of it. Page after page of VOOSH, FOOSH, KRANG, WRURUUUNG, RRRUMMMMBLLE with a smattering of one or two lame bits of dialouge Aric and Paul direct toward one another.

If Jim Shooter ever picked up this issue and read it he would have gotten a good chuckle out of it. He would also have to just shake his head in disgust at what they are doing the company he created.
