Magnus # 54 to Magnus # 55 WOW

Post by dac55 »

Man did I die between these two books. Or did Magnus go from head of state to a dope head?

I stoped reading Valiant, some where around Chaos Effect.
Man that sucked big time.

My 2 cents worth.

Yeah, Giffen pretty much destroyed everything good about Magnus and turned the series into a piece of garbage.

Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

I like a lot of what Giffen has done, but just the same, I've hated as much of the rest. He's either great or attrocious. In this case, it is the latter. He did, however, write one of the greatest scenes in XO history in XO #64. I think many of you know the one I mean. :twisted:

I'm just now getting to these issues on my Valiant re-read (although this is technically my first time reading these later issues).

Wow is right. Even after reading this thread and being prepared I was shocked. I have no idea what is happening in Magnus from issue 46 on.

The end runs on some of these books are so WTF you have to read them though I feel. Valiant feels like the rise and fall of the Roman empire!

X-O #64 - In regards to the death of Master Darque?

Cheapest comic book death ever.

No seriously, what a crappy death for a villain who used to be so profoundly and epicly evil.

I didn't read most of the issues after Chaos Effect. After reading all the comments about the quality I read a few and found the quality was bad and the rest I never bothered with.

I decided to obtain all VH1 books and I'm having some remorse after getting the later issues in the runs LOL.

Most are very painful to read, that's for sure.
