WHATTT!!! I'm the only one to vote for XO so far this month?!? You people are crazy!! facepalm

Anyway, another strong month for VEI....

Top class:

1) XO #40
2) Imperium #8
3) BOD: Fall of Harbinger

Very strong:
4) Rai #10
5) Ninjak #7
6) Bloodshot Reborn #6

Decent read (art killed it for me...in a bad way):
7) Book of Death #3

Improved but still mediocre at best:
8) Unity #22

Don't read Timewalker couldn't get copy of LOTG#3 at a reasonable price.

Fall of Harbinger #1 gets my top spot for obvious reasons. I'll even go so far as to say this is the best comic of the VEI to date.

Timewalker gets my #2. Wrapping back to the beginning of A&A #1 and Ivar's activation of the Boon was a master stroke of pure Valiant goodness!

1. BoD: Fall of Harbinger #1 - astounding work, storytelling that transcends the medium.
2. Imperium #8 - rich depth of character, loved the way the confrontation with Divinity played out.
3. Timewalker #9 - always a pleasure to read FVL's Timewalker Tales.
4. BoD: LotG #3 - another amazing chapter in this series.
5. Rai #10 - loved the portions with RAI on earth.
6. XO #40 - solid second chapter of the Exodus arc.
7. Ninjak #7 - another really cool Shadow Seven character.
8. Book of Death #3 - good issue, but a bit less entertaining than #2 was.
9. Bloodshot #6 - also a good issue, but felt like a lot of treading water in the same storyline as the first arc.
9. Unity #22 - a stronger finish for the Warmonger arc, but I'm still not a big fan of the arc overall.
