If they get Shadowman right, let me know, because I will get into Valiant so fast and so hard it'll make your head spin.

The 4001 AD Shadowman one-shot was solid, plus the Deadside plays an interesting (if small so far) role in Divinity III: Stalinverse.

Shadowman in Ninjak was rad. But right now Matt Kindt is like the Valiant God and nothing he writes for them is any less than great. Which makes me so happy about the new X-O series.

I see it was talked about above but I just found out Generation Zero was cancelled at issue #9. That's sad, I really liked that book and I was looking forward to having two cool Harbinger-focused ongoings coming out for a while. Plus I'm not used to Valiant yanking the carpet out from under a series before it even hits double digits.

Yup. It's Secret Weapons. It looks amazing. http://www.valiantentertainment.com...coming-in-june/ quote:As revealed today at Vulture, Valiant is proud to announce that Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Eric Heisserer, writer of the internationally acclaimed, smash-hit motion picture ARRIVAL, as well as the upcoming HARBINGER and BLOODSHOT feature films from Sony Pictures, will join Harvey Award-nominated artist Raul Allen (Wrath of the Eternal Warrior) with Patricia Martin (Bloodshot Reborn) for SECRET WEAPONS #1 (of 4) – an all-new, Valiant Prestige format limited series starring the much-demanded, super-charged hero Livewire in June!

Are Divinity II and III as good as the first volume? I'm debating if I should order the trades or keep waiting and see if they put all 3 volumes in 1 big hardcover.

I haven't read DIII yet but DII is way better than Divinity imo. One thing I like about the Valiant universe is that they don't make up countries and leaders. Harada doesn't set up his enclave in Fakeistan, he sets it up in Somalia. Armor Hunters don't destroy a fake city, they destroy Mexico City. It gives it more impact. You'll see why this statement applies to DII when you read it. (Also makes me wonder if they'll put Trump in the books at some point)

Trump is referenced in Bloodshot USA as PRS's tentative (pre-election) political puppet. Divinity III has been rocking as hard as II so far.

The God of Valiant, Matt Kindt, is writing an event series that brings Shadowman back into prominence. Looks like it will play heavily into the great arc of Ninjak where he traveled to the Deadside. I see Tama is also on the cover which is awesome because Tama is great.quote:As revealed today at Nerdist, Valiant is proud to announce RAPTURE #1 (of 4) – a spellbinding standalone event from New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (X-O Manowar, Mind MGMT) and explosive artist CAFU (Rai)!

That almost wordless standalone issue was amazing. I'm assuming that the lack of backups in Ninjak has to do with him writing X-O. And speaking of, those X-O previews in Ninjak have gotten me so hyped it isn't funny. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Feb 11, 2017 |

Once upon a time DC also did this so we got Mr Joker, Iranian ambassador to the UN for Ayatollah Khomeini, right after he had brutally beaten Robin to death with a crowbar. Robin of course was found by the Joker because his mum was in Iran at the time performing illegal abortions and Joker used that to blackmail her.

Back to the Divinity question, which I missed due to other stuff. I think Divinity is still much better than Dinivity II, not that Divinity II isn't great though because it is. Divinity is just one of my favorite stories period from Valiant. The way in which the story is crafted and told is really cool even beyond the plot. Divinity II is a bit more straightforward in terms of A->B->C plotting goes and that's perfectly fine for the story it's telling. Divinity III is pretty fuckin' great as well too so far and I have more than enough faith in Kindt to land the ending.
