Only questioned by those who've never read them.
I think my gaming enjoyment ended with the last guardian, it summarized my year by year gaming disappointment.

Too bad the hardcover collection apparently has really low quality binding.
How would you rank his other series? I'm assuming they're Low, Tokyo Ghost and Deadly Class.

I read that Bloodshot thing that was free.
It was okay, I guess.
Quantum & Woody just isn't very funny though.
I still want to read the 'verse at some point.

Bloodshot Reborn, you'd probably enjoy it if you read a bit more. Q&W's humor... I guess it's not for everyone. No worries.
I'll hit you up on rumblr sometime next week

This is how I'd rank them too. I really have trouble picking between Low and Deadly Class, both have been so great issue after issue.
16 Heroes for the price of one? Those rollbacks.
I legitimately wanted to smash something at some of the things that happened in Vol 1.

Are you referring to Low? I guess it could be either really, both have so many ups and downs.

Once I get through Saga, I'll start on these 4. Low does look stellar. The art in Black Science is what really caught my interest. I've got a lot of reading to do.

What bothers me about Valiant is their character designs look either bland or terrible. XO Manowar in particular looks sooooooooooo bad

That's really just you. There's literally nothing wrong with their designs.
Low sorry I meant to say that.
Deadly Class has been fantastic but I've been hollow since my favorite person got killed

They haven't, and they won't. At least not before the last arc or something to kick off a new Harbinger.

Yeah, most of them look pretty good. I'm actually quite fond of Bloodshot's, and I've got a soft spot for plainclothes types.
XO is... interesting. I'm not fond of him in that pic up there, but I've seen others that work. I'm not huge on the "muscle fibers" look for armor as a rule, though.
Poodlestrike.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Ah, I haven't read any Valiant since before Valiant next started, Kinda hoping for another humble Bundle to catch up.

Let's see. There's Jean Grey, Nightwing, Albino Punisher, Armor-less Tony Stark, Danger Girl.... I think I also see Black Alice and Hyperion.
I'll be honest, it isn't great.

Considering David Aja designed most of them, I don't think they were that bad in concept. They probably got a little too video gamey with XO Manowar tho.

From the reviews I've seen on Amazon and YouTube, a lot of people are really upset with the lack of quality.
So I'll just stick with the TPs.

Imperium in particular has been brilliant. Definitely do so during a bundle or if you can snag them on the cheap.
The only one I wasn't fond of was Aja's Ivar design; he basically looked like a red-headed Constantine. I'm glad they didn't go with that one.

Speaking of Imperium (but not really), anyone picking up Empress #1 next week? I'm always up for a new Millar book.

Great input as always.

I haven't read past 16 yet myself.
Is Millar writing for Valiant now?
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Nope. Maybe if it were on going but Millar can keep his mini's.
Yep that has always been my problem with Valiant too.

Which is super frustrating since it was pushed as being a high quality collection. Absolute sized and everything.
Freezasaurus

Nah, I think XO is one of the few that look unique.
Wait, what? It certainly isn't Absolute-sized. It's bigger than even the larger Image Hardcovers (Noah, I Kill Giants), but it's still smaller than an Absolute.

Would not miss it for anything. Empress and The Fix dude. Two most hyped books next to Walking Dead for me next week.

Unless they put Morph in X-Men 92 i will never buy another issue.
How you gonna screw morph out of 92 AND Age of Apocalypse in Secret Wars

Yes, also The Fix #1 and Black Panther #1 are coming out.
It's a great week of comics.
Edit: oh and that Daredevil Companion Omnibus!
Simply Sarah

Errr, it most certainly is Absolute sized. It's maybe .25 cm shorter than one, which is basically no difference.

So looking forward to Black Panther. Coates' twitter has me all kinds of hyped.

Yeah it'd be pretty effin stupid to leave him out.

It really caught me off guard, there was so much great development of the character and then that happened out of nowhere.Yeah. That's the one. I wasn't angry.. I was just hurt.

It's a running trend in all of Remender's books I've noticed.

Haven't heard of The Fix. What is that one about?
I read the Panther preview that popped up the other week. I'm in.

Xmen 92..about the year Xmen got so bad I quit comics the first time.
Faith is the only standout and she's all the way in the back.
I can't trust you anymore.
