I'm catching up on a bunch of Valiant series, and I really love what they've done since their big comeback. I have nostalgia for the 90s junk, but the new stuff is really good on its own, I think. It's almost all good. Quantum and Woody got a little tiresome, and the big Armor Hunters crossover thing stunk, and I'm not into Unity, but X-O, Bloodshot, Archer & Armstrong, Rai, Harbinger... so good. I'm about to start Ninjak and Ivar and a couple of the other newer series, and my expectations are pretty drat high. They've been kinda killing it. It's so funny, I mean characters like Bloodshot and Ninjak are still corny as gently caress, but they made it work somehow.

Rusty Kettle posted:The last few Unity issues that focused on the individual members were top notch. I like the characters having depth, and that is what they are doing with the last few Unity issues. I'll pick Unity back up. The early going felt like an inessential companion to the other books, but I'm interested if it goes other places. And I totally agree about Bloodshot; it fizzled out. I generally don't like crossover events, but Harbinger Wars was cool, and he was well-utilized there, but then just hung around being a bit boring afterward. The scenes with him and Kay in The Valiant were so great though, and got me super primed for Reborn.

Rusty Kettle posted:I am really surprised how well Divinity did. I think it was their best selling book and is on like its forth printing or something. It is really good, but I didn't know it would resonate with audiences that much. That's great to hear. It's pretty esoteric; hopefully it'll encourage them to take more weird chances.
