Deathmate was used as the name for the post-death incarnation of Kay McHenry, the Geomancer killed in The Valiant.

This was…not great. Art was inconsistent (started off terrible, picked up a bit later). Ending was awkward. Aric can’t talk to Shanharra but he can still use the armor just fine?

The first half (the pages that were in the FCBD book) was decent. The second half…not so much. Honestly would have been fine with the discovery of this new Boon as the cliffhanger ending and adding some more exposition in the next issue. I’m glad they’re trying to wrap up storylines and continue the...

Since it was FCBD I gave a few new launches a try… Bloodhunt #1 (Marvel): Fast paced launch to the Summer event. Interesting if predictable twist at the end. A few potential deaths (which of course won’t last). The whole thing feels pretty repetitive though: Just had a big Vampire story around Dracu...

Glad to see these characters revisited and working on their powers, but giving them too much control over/them and/or powering them up kinda ruins the initial concept that was so interesting. The Livewire stuff was kinda weird, but the mysterious manipulator kept it intriguing…then it turned out to ...

This was just OK for me. I enjoyed the appearances by the Anni-Pada clan, and the Geomancer reveal. But the overall “mystery” didn’t really draw me in and Axia’s obsession with the dying one just seemed unnecessary. It was a little too Sam Spade for me.

Didn’t read this right away because of some of the early reviews I read here, but with the “Resurgence” announcement I figured I’d catch up. Issue 1 was decent. Obviously a continuation of the previous run, but I liked the twist and the inclusion of Bloodsquirt . Issue 2 was rather good, I thought, ...

Unity is a no brainer, but Armor Hunters and Harbinger Wars were both incredible. Was never really feeling The Valiant, but admittedly I was in the middle of checking out of Valiant completely when it came out. Not sure The Valiant even counts as an Event. It was really just an EW miniseries. No ti...

Here's mine: 1. Dysart's Psiot Cycle 2. Solar #1-11, followed by Unity. 3. Venditti's X-O Manowar, including Unity Vol. 1 and Armor Hunters. 4. BWS' Archer & Armstrong 5. Van Lente's Archer & Armstrong 6. Kindt's Rai and 4001, followed by Abnett's Rai. 7. Divinity 1-3 8. The Valiant 9. Kind...

If Unity doesn’t win in a landslide, I’d be surprised, but my second vote would be for Harbinger Wars. Love everything from Josh Dysart.

Have to say, I had my doubts when the rights went to Alien, but I’ve been impressed with the creative teams being announced. The previews are the best the VALIANT books have looked in a while and it sounds like they’re developing/continuing the shared continuity from VEI/DMG before a soft reboot com...

Received my copy on Saturday. Box had a big “Fragile: Handle with Care” sticker on it. Packaging was as described: just some paper around the book, which was in a plastic bag with the bookmark and order info. Luckily, mine was not damaged at all. Yet to read it, but the quality of the cover, binding...

Arise, chicken, arise. This one almost slipped by me. I think it *might* just be a Deathmate homage cover. Local Man: Gold (One-shot) by Image comics, solicited for release August 30. https://www.dcbservice.com/product/jun230060/local-man-gold-cvr-a-seeley-fleecs-(one-shot) This is actually a reall...

They're WAVE 2 PART 1 pricing range already was $7.99 to $9.99! :lol: Still less than $125 and could sell far more. Sure, but you can also just read and flip the hardcover collection without much of a loss. I’m not in the reselling business. If I buy it, it’s because I want it. Oh yeah, and that $1...

They’ve made so much $$$ off of this Kickstarter—over $365,000—one has to wonder how much they could make through normal distribution methods. Obviously that’s extremely successful, but all that cash comes from only 1600 backers. Seems like they could reach a larger audience and still make that muc...

I have backed several kickstarter comics over the past year, and many have been delayed long periods. This isn’t entirely unheard of, but most of the creators keep their backers updated on the reasons. Global paper shortage, lack of available printers, and many medical situations for the creative te...

I have the entire set of the original Iron Man issues. Was one of the first runs I completed as a young collector along with Portacio’s Uncanny X-Men.

Really wondering if this will ever be fulfilled given the recent news of firings and resignations. Have a feeling my $ is gone.

Just gonna leave this here.

I was good with the writing on this until the turn at the end. Kid is worried his dad will "come looking for him" but upon learning he goes back to the same moment in time chooses to age 10(?) years before returning? Pretty sure dad is going to be more upset about that. That's just a stup...
