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. 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." _________________________ Bosco685 Kudos

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. I miss that excitement with new comics. $\:\($ _________________________ Bosco685 Kudos

Lets get these Valiants in everyone's hands! _________________________ Looking for Excitings, Black Terror 1-2, 7-8, Fighting Yank 2-8, 10-12, and America's Best 7 in raw or slabbed 3.0-7.0.
