Another X-O #1? Now with 6 covers? All will be pin-up poses no doubt. This is the opposite direction Valiant should be going in. Hard pass.

It's a one-shot. Hopefully they'll do ongoings after Resurgence ends.Ryan wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2024 12:23 pm Another X-O #1? Now with 6 covers? All will be pin-up poses no doubt. This is the opposite direction Valiant should be going in. Hard pass.

The best X-O Manowar cover I've seen in years is the cover of Planet Death...

Hopefully it’s better than the last issue. That was one of the worst piles of
I’ve ever read with the name VALIANT attached to it.

I've certainly not been a fan of the interior art I've seen.

Doesn’t say the cover price or page count? FVL is one of my least favourite writers so I’m apprehensive about this one, hopefully he stays away from adding comedy into the book.
Re: Valiant's flagship hero X-O Manowar returns in new one-shot tying into Resurgence event
LOVE his Archer & Armstrong. LOVE even more is Timewalker. Gen Zero was a miss but everything outside of VEI and everything since VEI ended and DMG/Alien took over is blahDallow Spicer1 wrote: Wed Aug 28, 2024 6:42 am Doesn’t say the cover price or page count?

I am a fan of FVL, but that article already lost me with the “surprising new twist premise - this time there’s no Shanhara!” … uh…

Re: Valiant's flagship hero X-O Manowar returns in new one-shot tying into Resurgence event
Totally agree on the love felt for his A&A & Timewalker runs. Wasn’t a fan of Gen Zero either, though (just a poor direction to take what should have been an amazing new cast of Valiant characters by Josh Dysart).syzhang28 wrote: Wed Aug 28, 2024 1:23 pmLOVE his Archer & Armstrong.

Re: Valiant's flagship hero X-O Manowar returns in new one-shot tying into Resurgence event
Alien Valiant.
But, better than DMG Valiant. PUKE.
If only Dinesh didn’t need to take the DMG money.
. We had it so good 2012-2018. Best VALIANT ever other than pre-Unity, Unity, and the 6 months following.
I’ve loved the VALIANT characters since the summer of 1992 and I always will. But, I will not support the characters with blind faith when they are being rendered so poorly. The current state of Valiant is embarrassing imo. No $ from I.
I’m going to wait another 20 years and hope the next buyer of the company has some passion like Dinesh had. I’ll be 70 years old then but I don’t mind waiting.

No blame intended on anyone ever on my part.
If I could blame anyone, it would be myself for not supporting VEI more than I did at the time.
