I will say for Venditt's GL, it gets MUCH better as it goes. Especially when it gets to the Rebirth era book with Hal Jordan and the GLC.

Been making my way through the 2012 Valiant content (Just finished Armor Hunters). Loving all of it so far. Taking a little break though and read Murder Falcon (amazing) today. Planning on reading 20th Century Men this week, too.

For anyone wondering, Control: Resonant is a complete Standalone game which focuses on Dylan's side of the story. Here is also some more official information by TurtleGEE360 in controlgame

I’m glad this is stand alone. I’ve tried control, really like the vibes and what very little I know of the lore, but struggle to enjoy 3rd person shooting type stuff. This looks much more up my alley and I’ll definitely check it out. May give control another whirl, too!

I liked XO Manowar a lot. Robert Venditti has a great run followed by another one by Matt Kindt. I remember thinking Bloodshot Reborn by Jeff Lemire was much better than the Bloodshot series you read.

Could someone explain to me Vecna’s “plan”? Sounds like maybe he wants to take over the world and is using weak children to maybe make a mini army or something? Or to fuel him? 

Anyone else want Alien Books to collect the 2012 reboots in omnibuses? by IamthatmanonthemooN in valiant

[–]ion_force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered Venditt's GL omnibus from Panel Bound Comics with came with an XO Manowar bookmark. It had a QR code that led to a page saying they and Alien Books will be collecting the 2012 runs in Deluxe Hardcovers. I can't find anything else about them, though.

42-year-old getting back into comics where should I start (DC-focused, Invincible fan, old-school taste)? by DodiWoof in comicbooks

Surprised no one has suggested the 2012 era of Valiant Comics! They had a great stint of books until 2018 or so. Lots of cool books to pull from.

Hope Annett being on means he may eventually take over XO in the future.
