Does anyone know whatever happened to Dr. Mirage? Did Justin Jordan just dream her up and then leave her?
Not sure what else is coming soon, but Timewalker and Dr. Mirage would be great. Armorines are bound to show up eventually, and I think a split of Bloodshot and HARD Corps is inevitable.

JJ said that they would have done more with Mirage, but had too many plot threads going and had to cut some from the second arc. I thought if she somehow could have been worked into communicating their instructions to the Deadside, it would have at least made her presence worthwhile. At least there is plenty left open for a writer to take advantage of in the future.

Looks like the trend continues in May:

5/7 - Archer & Armstrong #20, Rai #1
5/14 - Bloodshot & HC #22, Quantum & Woody #10
5/21 - Unity #7, X-O Manowar #25
5/28 - Shadowman: End Times #3, Harbinger #23
Good Morning, that's a nice tnetennba.
The thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it in...

I'd love to see all 3 in individual titles, especially following the Vine-tech floating as space debris being used as the basis for Armorines theory. :thumb:

Sounds like better planning of beats was needed. It does feel like a wasted opportunity in hindsight. :|
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month

With one a week starting to happen I'm guessing it'll be permanent from here on out.
What with Armor Hunters all summer AND the expected announcement of Bloodshot back to solo ongoing and the addition of Dr.Mirage.

They could always just put out more comics in the first three weeks of each month and skip the last week :lol:

Ahhhh, the torture!!! The ultimate win/lose scenario where you're pleased on the front end of each month but yearning at the end for more.

Leave one book unread each week. Just in case.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Nah. Read all your Valiant comics first and then read everything else at the end of the month :clap:
