ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

this is clearly post BoD & Unity since Aric is angry at Ninjak and doesn't trust him.

i think it was a really good issue too, the bit with capshaw made me laugh and it was good to see alexander again. I liked the cardboard x-o manowar kid making friends with the vine kid too.

That whiteboard looks genuine in some respects and a wind up in others. 'Pirate Armstrong'... I mean, it's entirely possible we could see that in a comic, but is it really so important it needs to make it to that board? 'Bloodshot Dinosaur Hunter? Wind up, seriously. [/color] they both happened in ...

Ninja-x is one of the other ninjas employed by mi6, ninjak is technically ninja-k

I'm not usually a big fan of superhero parody stuff, or ending a previously "serious" series with a comedy mash-up issue, but I have to say I enjoyed this one. Most of the stories were funny and entertaining, and I appreciated Kindt's poignant send-off story done in his unique art style. ...

I think that X-O, Bloodshot and Archer might be taken to 4001 by Neela, I kind of hope they don't do that though.

no travis i am not paying $20,000 to see your fanfiction

Another tremendous issue, this story arc has been absolutely excellent so far. Gorgeous art from two very talented artists. I know the sales figures are lower in this title (which is so absurd it blows my mind), but how is no one talking about this book around here? :? It is mind-boggling why sales...

this was a great ending to the arc but the bit where he drives away from the garrison house was tacked on and BAD

There is tons of room with the story. You are looking at it too linearly. For example he might have had tons of adventures whilst hopping from arc to arc to find Obliv-2. You just don't know. You may be saying that the way he communicates with the female dinosaur is the same as young Ivar but he (I...

i dont think the pak stuff can even be considered canon anymore, nobody except for van lente will ever acknowledge it

this issue was better, the way the paradise realm works is actually explained now and that page of him jumping down into the demons was gorgeous.

Tons of space for more stories. Right after he is freed from the continuum. archer frees him, he goes to do the binge drinking with armstrong and then he tells archer that the prometheans are after him and he has to find neela, there is definitely not much (if anything) between the binge drinking i...

if ivar goes from plucked from boon by neela -> oblivi-2 -> 4001 -> imprisonment -> faraway -> being chased by prometheans -> 'first' meeting with neela -> death on oblivi-1 then theres not much of a window for him to do anything unless he doesn't die. there can't be much time at all between his A&a...

page 12 is a homage to magnus right? that early issue where all the robots attack him at home like a big swarm. that whole sequence with the fight through different time arcs was amazing, i wonder if the other bits were homages as well.

This issue was beautiful, i think it must be the way the art was colored. The story was great too, the characters are really starting to feel complex. Especially loved how he was getting into Gravedog's psyche a bit.

his first appearance is Q&W #3 which is a much better comic than any issue of Dead Drop

looks like it will be a good month, im cautiously hyped for operation deadside at the minute

shame that raul allen isn't doing a cover for WOTEW5 though

yeah, we can never go home is really overhyped though. i like the art a lot but the story is nothing special.

space riders is easily their best publication so far

i think theyre publishing a morrison comic too at some point

I would guess that War is the thing in BoD: Bloodshot involving all those dead H.A.R.D. Corps

Kano and Michel Fiffe means that this will be a gorgeous annual

and kano's cover is beautiful

my thoughts on each story -one where gilad destroys the earth: pure dumb fun, loved it -ghosts story: good art but not very funny -PSAs: hilarious and i like the vhs effects on it -Ninjak and Livewire product placement one: not funny, probably the worst one -kupperman story (parallel universes): fun...

"Had the two agents ever worked together before?"

"In a...limited capacity."

more likely to be a BoD reference imo

and wasn't the selling point of Rai that it isnt a book that has tie ins? I remember them marketing it as a book for people who don't know anything about the VEI universe

i dont want to read another kindt event. they need to give dysart a second event or give fred van lente an event. also are they seriously putting crain on an event book? I know he helped with Harbinger Wars but how on earth are they going to ship this on time alongside Rai? It would be a very bad mo...

ivar started badly but its getting extremely good now

i think he always has average to bad starts and finishes on a great note with his series
