That Whilce Portacio cover for Bloodshot Salvation #11 looks amazing!

Still no HW2 tie-ins (which is hardly surprising at this point), but looks like we're getting 8 books in July! I'd say that's an improvement for sure!

I'll be getting everything except Valiant High.

A good slate of books though I would've liked at least 1 tie in with HWII. That said, I'm not really complaining.

I'll be getting:

Bloodshot Salvation #11
Harbinger Wars II #3
Ninja-K #9
Quantum + Woody! #8
Shadowman #5

Man, some of those covers (across all titles) look great :thumb:

I have to say, it's nice to see Harbinger, Bloodshot, XO, Shadowman, Ninjak and Quantum & Woody all in the solicits, even if Harbinger is a crossover event mini. And some 4002 AD action to boot! Now we just need Harby back full-time and Archer & Armstrong.

If VALIANT is going to succeed after the DMG takeover, they have to push their "tent-pole" characters and titles as much as possible, while also expanding into new areas with recurring mini-series like Britannia. If once a year we get 3-4 issues of Britannia, Savage, Divinity, War-Mother, Doctor Mirage, EW, etc, and there are 6-8 continuing series, I'm pretty happy with that.

That Portacio cover looks great. I'm definitely needing that. Stoked for another deluxe edition. And really, I'm way excited for physical Valiant High. It's pretty funny stuff.

Well we are getting Bloodshot 4002...I’d like to see an ongoing in 4002, but I’ll take a mini once a year too.

At 6-8 books per month in total like we've been getting for several months now, its great to have as many as 5 ongoing titles in that ratio[even if I'm not a fan of Q&W]. :thumb:

I would love to see another Timewalker series but an ongoing as apposed to the 12 issue maxi we got previously (which was a read great by the way). There's so much scope to bring the Valiant U together across time spans and now with multiple Timewalkers (Neela and Ivar).

Would be cool to see Neela, EW, and a past Shadowman for instance helping out Axia fight some evil spirit in a 1 or 2 issue story arc within a broader Timewalker series.
