Hmmm...
It's been said there were four titles this year... but there is also a teaser for Eternal Warrior "Winter 2012"...

Maybe A &A just turns into Eternal Warrior? :?

Great to get confirmation!

But could FVLs run be limited...? He said the word at least twice in that interview. I hope not, but something doesn't jive here.

I agree good news! They have so many stories to tell on Armstrong's past. I liked that about the eternal brothers. They had an infinite amount of stories to tell.

We will see EW in 2012 and Rai in 2013, but I don't think it will be in their own titles. Starting 4 and keeping it that way until next summer seems like it might be a good plan to me.
What we need is innovation and even revolution—but not so much in the form of marketing ploys and doohickeys. What is needed is bold creative vision, excellent stories, and brilliant storytelling, in a word, entertainment. -- Jim Shooter

I thought it was 10,000 years? Did he take a Rip Van Winkle nap for 5,000 years, or has he also seen the inside of a spaceship?

Minis would ensure the best stories are put out there and they aren't just putting out garbage to fill a month. Buddy books DO tend to get old quick in the marketplace.
Agreed. I would prefer minis for this reason and also because I would love to see the Valiant universe expanded without breaking my wallet :)
