[Note: this episode has an important announcement about Chiclo's departure from VCR on April 1, 2015] It's time for the OTV crew to tackle The Valiant. We discuss the whole mini-series, what we thought of it, and what we thought of where it leaves the Valiant Universe. Two of our favorite characters had big changes in this mini-series, so we talk about where this leaves Bloodshot and Eternal Warrior, and what we anticipate, and what we don't. Overall, what did this story mean for the Valiant Universe? What about the art, and he way that the story was told? We spend our hour digging into these questions and more. |

We review and discuss X-O Manowar #35, out today from Valiant Comics. This book is part 2 of Dead Hand, and continues the story in the grand way we would expect from this great book. Also, Calgary Chris was at Emerald City Comic Con last weekend, and he gives us a quick recap of the convention, which was Valiant's biggest, baddest convention so far! In this episode, things get a little raw, moreso than the typical VCR episode, so it is with some hesitancy that we release this one. |
