This is pretty much the showdown we have been wanting for some time. Personally I wanna see Gilad lay the smackdown to Aric myself, but that's just me.

All I want is a badass knock-down-drag-out fight that does them both proud

I can't wait. I only picked up 15 two days ago. And I'm hooked!

@allstarsuperman: If you haven't read Planet Death, I would greatly recommend it because it was a great arc.

@jonny_anonymous: @cap10nate: I'll be buying the deluxe hardcover collection of issues 1-14. I think it comes out in November.

@allstarsuperman: Good choice, now start buying the other books :)

@jonny_anonymous: I will definitely be getting eternal warrior. The other books don't interest me.

@allstarsuperman: But there all really good :(

@jonny_anonymous: I've flipped threw shadow man and bloodshot. There were meh?

@allstarsuperman: They are great books but the'v also both just got new writers

@jonny_anonymous: XO and Eternal Warrior are pushing my budget as is. Plus there's the whole villains month thing. When finish the story arcs I'll drop some.

Yeah valiant actually surveys when a title has a problem and make sure the problem is fixed; best publisher but bloodshot is fantastic.

I think my new pull list after the stories finish up will be:

XO Manowar

Eternal Warrior

TMNT

Nightwing

Small ville

Heroes

Earth 2 (if it doesn't start to suck)

@allstarsuperman: not Unity?

I've been hearing alot of good buzz about what valiant is putting out, and after reading a bit about the premise of this series, I have to admit that I am very intrigued. I have been looking for something else to get into and this looks like it could fill that gap. Ive also decided to check out a bunch of other comics that they put out, because from the bits and pieces that i have seen, it looks like they're doing real quality work.

@jonny_anonymous: nah.

@allstarsuperman: How come?

@jonny_anonymous: I don't so much like crossovers or events

It looks like it's gonna be more of a team book than a crossover.

Yes, it's not an event it's a team book

@jonny_anonymous: @decoyelite: still though. I dropped justice league for a reason. Team books are just usually not as good

@allstarsuperman: Don't have to get it, but keep in mind that Valiant doesn't really seem to do bad books. Ever.

@decoyelite: I will learn that.

Sweet cant wait

nerdgasim...

Aric & Gilad together in action. Can't wait for this...

One more week to this and then just a few more to the Eternal Warrior's debut.

Valiant - I love it!
