What should be the next wave of #0's?

Post by Bl00dsh0t »

We've seen some of the best stories in the Valiant U in the 0 issues (Harbinger, Shadowman, Archer & Armstrong etc.) - what titles do you think should be included in the next #0 wave?

Here's my suggestions:

Divinity #0 - I love this character and would think a standalone #0 could come out prior to Divinity II

Unity: Secret Weapons #0 - there have been some recent nods towards Secret Weapons in the current Unity arc. I wouldn't be surprised if Unity ends at #25 with a Secret Weapons team taking over.

Ninjak #0 - Goes without saying, one of the better titles would have to get a #0 surely in the next wave.

Timewalker #0 - I don't see this going past #12, Q&W had GOAT #0 prior to that first run ending and given what happened in #8, I think we could see a Timewalker #0 in Dec or early 2016.

How about a joint Timewalker / Eternal Warrior #0?

I would LOVE a Doctor Mirage 0, showing us more of the backstory of the Doctors Mirage or even more detailed exploits of the occult spy guy from the first mini. Lots of cool stuff to be built on, there. And her background as a stage magician hasn't been shown yet.

Timewalker, of course, would be amazing. I want to see his imprisonment and what he saw while in the infinite time loop. And maybe some history of the Faraway and how it came to be.

Eternal Warrior would be great, just to see the origin properly. That, or to explicitly flesh out his mythology as to what the Houses are and who their champions are, etc. With Gilad it would have to be something like that to distinguish it from the constant flashbacks to all of time. And it needs it. Alternately, Tama's origin would be great to see.

I'd like to see an Imperium 0 just to see what Dysart would do with it. Maybe there would have been a similar team of Harada's in the past? Whatever he wanted to do, it would be awesome!

Rai 0 will l be spectacular, again.

And Ninjak 0 is a no-brainer. That will definitely happen at some point, and it will be great!

I have to say, I really love the whole Zero Issue thing at Valiant. :thumb:

I know I've seen it mentioned before this thread, but a GIN-GR 0 would be sweet.

Ninjak #0 - Focus on his Ninja training!
Gin-Gr #0 - What was her life like before Armour Hunters?
Rai #0 - The launch of New Japan and creation of the original Rai!
Dr. Mirage #0 - Just 'cos I love this title

Really not sure about a Divinity #0. Seems to me that Araham's past and character has been pretty well established. Therefore, could a #0 issue be used to sow a MAJOR plotseed by having an issue set in the future and some substantial event occurring?

Jaunty #0. You know, that talking monkey from the Shadowman comics. I can totally see all sorts of deep lore with this character.

A Rai #0 would also be pretty cool: showcasing the first Rai or something like that.

I have loved all the zero issues but I would like the next one to be a previously unseen character. Like Archer and Armstrong 0 from the VH1 run. I am loving the universe building going on!

Animalia looks like cartoon animals when she uses her powers... so let's introduce her sister, Panelia. She looks like square boxes drawn on a sheet of paper. She has been in every VEI book so far.

Echoing with my first listed choice.
RAI #0 - it seems a no brainer. Whoever said showing Rai 1, Father's first attempt is spot on. Take my $$$
Ninjak #0
Timewalker #0 - whoever said it may not make 12 issues....hush your mouth, don't put that into the universe!!
Doctor Mirage #0 - YES please!!

Lots of good suggestions, my top choices to see would be;

1] Dr. Mirage - need more Mirage in my life, I can't wait for the second mini!
2] Timewalker - how did he get to the Faraway, and *when* was that in his life? Only FVL knows for sure...
3] RAI - as someone else said, let's see how the line started. And for that matter, I want to know more about Spylockes past too especially after reading BoD: Fall Of Ninja-K!

While I would be happy to read a Ninjak 0, there sure is a lot of backstory already in the main series... Not sure what else will need to be covered when all is said and done.

They should do the Zero issue after #12, and then start counting backwards from Zero with negative numbers, because Timewalker.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
