Aw, you poor thing. Sounds like you miss those long weekends you used to spend together at natural hot springs in the Japanese mountains...

It's just that... well... he was so tender... like a cherry blossom floating in a warm breeze. <sniff> :cry:

Then he'd run off and cleave some giant robot in half.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I really wish these had a new story in them like the Bloodshot Hardcover. Without that it's not worth the purchase to me.

It's fair enough that readers who already have the original comics aren't buying the hardcovers without extra content (such as a new story or whatever), but these books are really good introductions to the characters for new Valiant readers who haven't read the original material, so they still carry their worth :)

I for one am looking forward to Valiant getting around to printing a Quantum and Woody hardcover :D

As a guy who doesn't buy trades often, and never hardcovers - I will say I am mildly tempted on this one because I still don't have #'s 2,3 & 4... but I prefer to buy originals & will track them down eventually. A new original story would have absolutely tipped the scales in favour of buying this for me personally.
