Quick Question: Shadowman/All Comics Status?
Hi everyone,
Quick question, as I've managed to get a little bit 'out of the loop' lately, what with a ton of stuff that I *need* to be sorting out right now (not dramatic stuff, fret not!):
Shadowman: What's happening to it after the End Times miniseries ends? Is it going on hiatus, continuing, etc, what?
If someone could tell me what's going on here that'd be grand.
Well, whilst we're at it, can someone just tell me generally what the status with all the Valiant comics are? I gather XO and Rai are safely ongoing, Harbinger is having the Omegas mini, then what? Same question with Q+W, A+A...
If someone can just neatly summarise with a list or something what's happening I'd appreciate it. I don't have the time to be trawling all through the forum to find out what's going on with all the comics, even though I'm still sticking my head in every now and then, as it were.
Cheers all!

Re: Quick Question: Shadowman/All Comics Status?
Archer & Armstrong - The series continues, at least as far as we know. Issue #24 is out in September, written by someone other than FVL, and #25 hits in October. FVL will be writing a story for it, and it will be give the same treatment the other titles have with their 25ths. No word on creative team post 25th. Meanwhile, the Delinquents starts in August and goes for 4 issues.
Bloodshot - The Armor Hunter Mini starts in July and runs for three issues. The main title will be returning in October with issue #24, though H.A.R.D Corps are not a part of it. No word on creative team yet.
Doctor Mirage - 5 Issue mini-series starting in September, no word on after that.
Eternal Warrior - No word on a regular series or mini-series, though there have been snippets of Cary Nord artwork spotted that indicate something is in the works.
Harbinger - The Armor Hunters mini starts in July, and we have the 25th issue that month as well. Omegas starts in August and runs for three issues. No definitive announcements after that, though Valiant and Dysart have not been shy about saying the second phase of Harbingers begins with Omegas. Can only assume that means there is much more to come.
Quantum & Woody - the main series goes on hiatus with #12 in July, and then shifts over to Delinquents. No word after that. Q2 begins in October and runs four issues.
Rai - After #4 in August, we won't see Rai #5 till December so Crain can continue his masterful work.
Shadowman - No known plans, though we've heard Milligan has much more story planned. Sounds like Dr. Mirage is going to be the focus in the supernatural side of the Valiant Universe.
Unity - Keepin' on keepin' on, far as we know.
X-O - Keepin' on keepin' on, far as we know.
Bloodshot - The Armor Hunter Mini starts in July and runs for three issues. The main title will be returning in October with issue #24, though H.A.R.D Corps are not a part of it. No word on creative team yet.

Re: Quick Question: Shadowman/All Comics Status?
See this is the only one where wording was so specific, even within issue #11 itself, that I'm not sure it's on hiatus like Shadowman, EW and Rai will be. The plug at the bottom of #11 said "Come back for issue #12, you wouldn't read a whole series and miss the end would you?"Keith wrote: Quantum & Woody - the main series goes on hiatus with #12 in July, and then shifts over to Delinquents.

We also know that there are currently 8 titles in a month and Warren said they're sticking to 9... so there will be at least one title that won't be available each month.

If that was said, if, then it was internal talk at VEI.lorddunlow wrote: I also think someone mentioned that Asmus said at a con that it was only pitched as a 12 issue run.
Q&W was never pitched publicly to fans/retailers as some 12-part maxi-series.
Sounds like some retconning ala Dynamites move w/Spektor if that was actually said.

Re: Quick Question: Shadowman/All Comics Status?
I may be crazy, but I really think someone said they talked with Asmus at a convention and he was told by VEI (not solicited to the public) that it was for a 12 issue run.Captain Craig wrote:If that was said, if, then it was internal talk at VEI.lorddunlow wrote: I also think someone mentioned that Asmus said at a con that it was only pitched as a 12 issue run.

I may be completely confabulating. It's been known to happen with me in the past. Stupid false memories.
