I have no Valiant left to read.

[Owzers]

Black Science is good, it's probably my least favorite of his 4 series, but still very good.


You're a bad person, but at this point I doubt I'd be that bothered.

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.

1. Low/Deadly Class (both are top notch)
2. Tokyo Ghost
3. Black Science

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

1. Low/Deadly Class (both are top notch)
2. Tokyo Ghost
3. Black Science

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.

 

[Zombine]

16 Heroes for the price of one? Those rollbacks.

 

[Messi]

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.

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.

 

[shingi70]

Hey Poodle what's your gamertag?

Have the Harbringer kids shown up in Imperium?

 

[Messi]

Low sorry I meant to say that.

Deadly Class has been fantastic but I've been hollow since my favorite person got killed

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Have the Harbringer kids shown up in Imperium?

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

 

[Poodlestrike]

That's really just you. There's literally nothing wrong with their designs.

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.

Hey Poodle what's your gamertag?

Poodlestrike.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[shingi70]

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

Ah, I haven't read any Valiant since before Valiant next started, Kinda hoping for another humble Bundle to catch up.

 

[Freezasaurus]

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.

Too bad the hardcover collection apparently has really low quality binding.

I'll be honest, it isn't great.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

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

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.

 

[Mitch]

I'll be honest, it isn't great.

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.

 

[VanWinkle]

XO Manowar is the only one I'm not a fan of design-wise.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Low sorry I meant to say that.

Maria?

That caught me by surprise and was a huge bummer.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Imperium in particular has been brilliant. Definitely do so during a bundle or if you can snag them on the cheap.

XO Manowar is the only one I'm not a fan of design-wise.

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.

Tawney I haven't read the current arc. So I am afraid of clicking that spoiler

I haven't read past 16 yet myself.

Is Millar writing for Valiant now?

 

[Brian Fellows]

Nope. Maybe if it were on going but Millar can keep his mini's.

Yep that has always been my problem with Valiant too.

 

[Simply Sarah]

I'll be honest, it isn't great.

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

 

[Freezasaurus]

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.

Nah, I think XO is one of the few that look unique.

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

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.

 

[Messi]

I haven't read past 16 yet myself.

Yeah. That's the one. I wasn't angry.. I was just hurt.

 

[Zombine]

🌝

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

 

[styl3s]

Maybe the Gambit movie will inspire a reissue of the Asmus/Mann Gambit series because I want it so bad but Vol. 1 is out of print.

I have the first collection of his late 90s ongoing, and it's basically why Gambit never lasts long on his own; it's boring, plodding and totally monotonous. Maybe the latter half of the series is better.

The mid-00s Layman series was good, though.

Also: X-Men 92! X-Men 92! Everyone buy it because it's awesome!

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

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

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

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]

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.

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

 

[BrightLightLava]

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

 

[Brian Fellows]

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

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Yeah. That's the one. I wasn't angry.. I was just hurt.

It really caught me off guard, there was so much great development of the character and then that happened out of nowhere.

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

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yes, also The Fix #1 and Black Panther #1 are coming out.

Haven't heard of The Fix. What is that one about?

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

I read the Panther preview that popped up the other week. I'm in.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Xmen 92..about the year Xmen got so bad I quit comics the first time.

 

[Mitch]

Definitely in for Black Panther and Empress. I e-mailed my LCS to see if they could order Old Man Logan 1-3 and hold #4 for me as well.

 

[mreddie]

Faith is the only standout and she's all the way in the back.
