I am much more excited about Harbinger, Bloodshot and Archer & Armstrong ... it'll be interesting to see if others feel the same way. Obviously X-O is Valiant's flagship book, but I wonder if sales for the other titles will be even stronger? Only time will tell.

One thing that made Valiant stand out originally was the house style. The artwork stood in stark contrast to all the other stuff that was out at the time. To me this new stuff looks both in the art style and coloring like everything else on the racks. I tend to gravitate to books that give me something different.

Like Cherry?
I'd never heard of it until the sales threads here. It looks like Archie with boobs. Creepy stuff.
I mostly meant artwork and storytelling with a definite and unique point of view. Whats the point of putting all these characters we love from an old universe into a generic looking modern realistic comic universe. Just seeing the old gang again is enough to make me pick up a few first issues, but it wont be enough to make me a subscriber.
I just wish they had pushed things further with the art and design to make it feel unique and cohesive across the line.

Im with you on this. I love Cary Nords art but something about the coloring doesnt sit right with me.
On top of everything it sounds like theyll be printing the hell out of this issue. Great
