Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT May 2017 Solicitations

If Ninjak runs longer than X-O, wouldn't that then make it the flagship title?

Re: Who's Currently Buying Every VEI Title Month-in-Month-Ou

At least one copy of everything, I've read everything VEI has printed so far.

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT May 2017 Solicitations

I hate to always be asking "what about X", but I really would like to see another book or two. I miss when VEI first started and there were 5+ ongoing books running for over a year. Now we have 3 ongoings, 2 minis, and a one-shot.

Re: Another announcement incoming?

I think sales numbers indicate there isn't really much momentum to capitalize on. If Operation: Deadside sold better I bet we would have seen Shadowman again sooner. I still think a Generation Zero series would have done a lot better if it had been launched right after Harbinger Wars. 4001 had grea...

Re: Another announcement incoming?

This time I really hope they have a new Shadowman series ready to go immediately after this ends, and not months or years later as usually seems to happen.

Re: Adv. Of Archer & Armstrong #12 Discussion

Unfortunately this series was pretty forgettable. The FVL series really expanded this new Valiant universe and introduced a lot of concepts that readers wanted to see more of. But I think fans could skip this series entirely and not have missed anything about the overall universe or even the main ch...

Re: Arrival Screenwriter Launching Superhero Comic for Valia

I'll give it a chance but the characters other than Livewire don't really excite me. It frustrates me that VEI has so many characters out of circulation as it is, and these will most likely end up the same. It's fine that they're not making this another Unity, but it just doesn't feel like it will c...

Re: Mystery Announcement 2/2/17

I've been hoping for Dr. Eclipse for a long time, I think he has a lot of untapped potential that VEI could really harness, especially without a Solar in their universe.

Re: Generation Zero to End

Agreed, I liked the concept as child soldiers trying to have Scooby Doo adventures, I wish they could have gotten a few more episodes in. The timing is another problem, and VEI seems to do this a lot. They have an event and interest in new characters but then nothing after that, sometimes for years....

Re: VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT April 2017 Solicitations

Only 6 books, and only half are ongoing. 2 of them aren't even set in the present. It's not really looking like a connected universe right now. I knew Gen Zero would be ending soon but I was kind of hoping there'd be something to take its place. As well as something to take the place of A&A. Loo...

A little late, but I just realized Harbinger: Renegade #1 sold more than the 2012 Harbinger #1, 33,197 to 32,111. I guess the gimmick paid off!

It took me until now to "get" this book, but now it's all coming together. I loved the dialogue, especially the page where Cronus says they're not monsters but still checks if Animalia killed her. My elevator description of this book would be: child soldiers who didn't have a childhood try...

Re: February 2017 Solicitations

so Savage and A&A are ending, Divinity and possibly Ninjak (#25) are ending the following month. What will VEI fill these slots with? X-O, Bloodshot, Shadowman?

Re: Dr. Mirage gets a pilot on television (CW)

Sounds good, but too bad there's not a greater body of stories available to draw from right now. This would end up departing from the comics out of necessity.

Re: January 2017 Solicitations

based on the Divinity III #2 cover, my guess is the next tie-in will be Shadowman.

I like Valiant periodically putting out one-shots for orphaned characters who no longer have an ongoing series, I really think there ought to be one every month.

Re: We need another Quantum & Woody appearance

YES! It's frustrating how Valiant characters completely disappear in between series. It would be nice if they could just check in with every character once a year. Part of the appeal of other companies having events is that you get to see characters in the universe who don't have their own titles, b...

Re: Future Armstrong

I was kind of disappointed by his absence in 4001, I was really hoping there would be a re-united (Mary-Maria) Archer & Armstrong team in the future.
