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
But does it stop the majority of collectors from buying?
You should have seen the other night when one seller on the Valiant site posted a special sales thread for X-O #1. It was like someone had hypnotized everyone with the statement "Dump your money right here in my hand."

Yea no doubt everyone is going to be buying it. Hell, Im buying it too. Just want them to capture the early Valiant glory & desirability
Great art, Great stories/ writing, and low print runs.

Trust me - I understand exactly what you are talking about with the early Valiants. The simplicity of the artwork coupled with great stories made them something different. Every new comic was another fun adventure.
