Looks like a good month! Another annual with X-O this time. I'm thinking this is a good way to make issue #50 drop in September, the month after 4001 finishes. I'm liking the Bloodshot covers that Veregge is doing.

X-O Annual! I assumed the 4001 AD tie-in would take the X-O slot this month, it's nice to see this oversized surprise.

I still wish every ongoing currently being published was getting a 4001 AD tie-in (Ninjak, Imperium, Eternal Warrior, A&A) but maybe we'll see some more annuals this summer.

I love that Imperium is still getting support despite the sales figures (which I simply cannot understand).

reading the solicts, Ninjak is getting around a bit isn't he?

Ninjak - Valiant's Wolverine.

aside from the character's own book he's appeared or is appearing in these recent books:

- the current arc of XO
- the current arc of Bloodshot
- Divinity II

it's all good though :D

Wow, I'll actually be picking up everything in May...haven't done that in awhile. (Not buying Faith; won't get A&A, although first run of A&A is epic reading this incarnation looks terrible, and I've already gone the route of "give it a chance" with Dead drop, Q&w, and was mightily disappointed. ). 4001 looks epic, wondering When Britannia is gonna drop since Dino seems so excited for it.

Looks like an old Doom Patrol cover. I am so happy right now.

I'll agree with that when he is headlining multiple solo books and multiple team books, or has a whole legion of books that are part of the "Ninjak Family" a la Batman.
Good Morning, that's a nice tnetennba.

I think it's a fair assessment, we just poking fun, we love Ninjack. For such a small universe, as far as books being published, he gets around a bit. Batman & Wolverine, just do it on a bigger scale. :thumb:

Yeah, all in jest :)

Ninjak is cool - happy for him to appear where/when he does :thumb:

Does he have the potential to spawn a "Ninjak Family"? Perhaps one day we'll see these titles (once Valiant cements itself as a Big 3 publisher):

- Ninjak (solo ongoing)
- Roku (solo ongoing)
- Fist and Steel (Ninjak and Eternal Warrior team-up series)
- Secret Weapons (team book led by Ninjak)

Well, Unity ended, so we're down one book there. His appearance in X-O takes the place of that, and Bloodshot Reborn isn't in the current timeline. So I don't make too much of it.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I'm with ya, guys, nothing but love for the jesting! :high-five:

As long as they keep appearances reasonable, I have no prob with multiple appearances in other titles, regardless of who the character is. I recall a couple of years ago we were saying the same thing about Harada.

My beef with Wolverine is that Marvel had him in his own title, then titles, plus he was in the X-Men, then Avengers, then X-Force, then multiple Avengers titles... I know it's comics, but Lordy, how does any of that makes sense??
Good Morning, that's a nice tnetennba.
