I thought we could do a book a day (that way people can read one every day or catch up on weekends), talk about it on its own, in the context of whats next, in regards to what expectations it creates and vote on how good it is. I don't have to be the one that posts everyday. If I miss a day or if someone wants to take over please do

For voting think of your single favourite comic book (not just VALIANT) as the benchmark - thats a 10 - and grade according to that.

The voting (I'm hoping) will help new readers make more educated descisions. If this turkey files maybe we can even do a list of the books according to average voting grade.

Make sure to mention what you like'd about the book, what you didn't, what you wish they would have done, your favourite panels, lines of dialogue, little bits of trivia etc.

Hey, I like this one! 8.

Takes it back up a notch. I like the effort to humanize the Eggbreakers (although it's a cliche that most of them have to be self-centered a-holes).

Great show for Harada! A frightening dude!

This series seems to be getting back on track (yeah, yeah, we all know how it ends up ...).

Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

Harada says they are proceeding with operations in estonia - what does that mean? By the way, its nice to see valiant starting scenes a moment early again (i missed the continuity)

Also when did Ax fight bloodshot? I remember that but I can't find it.

20-20 is a cool character, nicely rounded. Is this his 1st app?

The pages in the snow are gorgeous

The plot line about stronghold is interesting. Its nice to see how harada's operations work. It even adds to Petes struggles.

when fort fights the other eggbreakers he seems big but when hes at haradas office he really seems like a kid. Very nicely done. Puts things into perspective again. Im really digging this new creative team.

Haradas retaliation is bad *SQUEE*. Loved it.

I feel bad for Fort. I wish they told us why he wanted to see Harada. Might have made me feel even worse for him.

Another 7.5 but ill round up again.

Looks like the shooter departure had things on auto pilot for a while. The post unity books were filler quality but things are turning back on again.
