Re: XO Manowar #45 Discussion

Is Venditti ever gonna leave this book ? I mean, jesus christ, this guy's really bad. Every time I get back to this book the writing only seems to get worse. Valiant is gonna find it even harder to survive in the long run and manage to compete with Image Comics, Marvel and DC in terms of sales if th...

Re: Ninjak #11 Discussion

I sure hope Kindt will be the next writer on Shadowman when they relaunch the title, I absolutely loved what he did with the Deadside. The worldbuilding was fantastic.

Ninjak continues to be my favorite book.

Re: Bloodshot: Reborn #9 Discussion

I won't even sugarcoat it, that was a terrible, and I reiterate for good measure, terrible ending to the whole arc. We have been endlessly teased for months about the content of Ray's secret files. I for one was very excited to learn more about the man he was before Rising Spirit experimented on him...

Re: Book of Death #4

That said overall BoD was quite a big let down for me, Venditti is my least favorite writer on Valiant... the reason why "the Fall Of" tie-ins were so good is because he didn't write them. I really don't like his writing style. Sigh, if only Dysart, Lemire or Kindt wrote this instead... in...

Re: Ninjak #8 Discussion

It's my favorite valiant book right now tbh, Kindt is hitting all the right notes with the storytelling. The way he's been oscillating seamlessly between past and present within each issue has been really awesome. why is ninjak even after these guys? Kannon is obviously a security threat, and Sangui...

I loved the first issue, Gilad's daughter was very brutal.

This is my first Eternal Warrior book so I'm very curious to see the rather tricky nature of their relationship explored.

Re: New Shadowman creative team

I am very excited about this. And the new design looks so sick! I can't wait! :thumb: Better (?) look at the tweaks to the costume. Looks like the mask is more curved and smooth like a skull, version angular and pointed. Posted on Valiant's Facebook page: https://sphotos-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-p...

Good issue, the pacing was nice. Seeing Katherine chatting with her brother, James, via telepathy did well to remind us of her current predicament. And It also had me wondering if the two siblings will incite further communications between the two factions and eventually lead Bloodshot to meet up an...

Wow, this is awesome. It's really great to have you and Justin around.

Welcome to the board, sir.

I'll definitely think up of some questions, soon as I'm done fanboying though. Haha.

One thing I really like about Fong's design is the color mix in her hair, the blue in front is a nice touch I think. :D
