Holy poo poo that suit looks good. Also it looks like the Bloodshot film has been pushed back so he can debut as the bad guy in the Harbinger film. They say they will be following the first few arcs of the two books as closely as possible. No news on the rumored Q&W tv show though.

Did we talk about the last issue of Faith? Because Archer cosplaying as Legolas is fantastic.

So is that Jason David Frank as Bloodshot or is Ninjak just going to be self contained?

Oh good. I'm not crazy. Someone else saw the green ranger as badass Bloodshot man

Well they announced he'd been cast a while back but I was uncertain if he was going to be Bloodshot in the film or just the web series.

By the time that game came out though they were being criminally mismanaged by Akklaim. If my memory is right that game came out just as they were winding down the first version of the universe and about to roll out a different take.

Yup, the "Acclaim Comics/Valiant Heroes" era which is actually really fantastic that gave us Qauntum & Woody and probably the best version of Shadowman we've ever seen.

The four issue Acclaim Shadowman is the best the character ever was. He also consulted on the video game and that was very popular.

After binging on Archie recently this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.




Also Rhyno, Coach Bloodshot is awesome.

I'm gonna read this asap.

I sat in on a conference call with Valiant the other day. They loving love retailers, we're getting so much free poo poo to pass on to customers. One bummer is they said they are slowing down the OSHCs a bit which is a bummer.

Unfortunately they seem be cutting down on a number of things, including ongoing books. Right now we have Faith, Harbinger Renegade, Ninjak, and the just launched X-O. That's pretty anemic even for Valiant.

They told us stuff I can't talk about but it shouldn't be like this for long.

I forget which thread it was, but Rhyno said that they were told about a bunch of new ongoings at a recent retailer's summit, but he can't say anything until they're officially announced at C2E2.

It was a conference call! They're hosting a lunch at the retailers summit before C2E2 and will be announcing things there at at the con.

I really like Bloodshot but the reliance on crossing over with Harbinger did slow up the series a bit. But it gave us the modern HARD Corps so I forgive it.

He was a huge oval office back when he drew JUSTICE and my grudge will stand based on that. I also really dislike his art.
