I really think, as a whole, this was a great book month!

The only book (for me) that wasn't a great book was Rapture #4. It was like Rapture lite.

I agree it was a good month as a whole, but disagree Rapture #4 was pretty good. Number 4 was like a solid run play, setting up the play action big play pass that is to come (March 2018).

"For me" I was kinda disappointed with Faith & TFF #2, It was like Faith & TFF #1 repeated.

While I enjoyed this month's books quite a bit, I'd say this was a weaker month overall.

God Tier
1. X-O Manowar 6

Really Good (but not Great) Tier
2. Harbinger Renegade 6
3. Divinity 0
4. Faith and the Future Force 2
5. War Mother 1

Disappointing Tier
6. Rapture 4

Still waiting for my copy of Secret Weapons #3 :!: Felt like a weak month overall. With so few books we need VEI to up their game on some of the titles.

The big hitters...

1) XO #6
2) Divinity #0

The standard hitters...

3) Harbinger Renegade #6
4) Rapture #4

The feeble hitters....

5) War Mother #1
6) Faith and the FF #2

It sucks Valiant didn't release Divinity 0 as a prestige format. It's like it's not part of Divinity.
Secret wepons took the cake.
I Miss the good old days.
