Book of Shadows has been a decent team up book. The conclusion worked for me. It also left me interested in seeing more. It’s a shame we’ve had to wait awhile for the conclusion but it ends satisfyingly. Now all four issues are put I’d say that reading all of them back to back would be of benefit. Either way it’s worth taking a trip on the supernatural side of Valiant.
“Cast your minds back if you will to summer last year. It was the height of August and Valiant’s supernatural heroes had banded together to take on Exarch Fane who had The Book of Shadows and was wreaking havoc, death and destruction across the earth…”
After threatening it last week Angela and Zach are teaming up again to discuss arguably the least popular Valiant mini-series of all time
This was a very solid second issue that really builds on the first in the best ways. It gives us some answers, deepens the lore a bit more and we learn more about the main nemesis. Still there’s some twists and turns as well and a few surprises along the way. Now the main set up is out of the way I look forward to seeing how our heroes move forward as they seek to defeat the power of The Book of Shadows.
“It’s great to have a team-up and it’s refreshing to see these characters come together in a way we haven’t seen before.”
Armorclads has been such a good addition to Valiant. It’s been something new and different.
“This is a real action packed issue full of excitement, danger and determination. Our heroes get ever closer to rescuing Peris.”
“This is another strong issue. I love how this expands out the mythology and detail, pushing things in a new direction. Not to mention there’s the usual great art designs and action scenes. I am intrigued as to where the Armorclads will go next and what lies in the future for the new and improved Ironclads.”
“The art is exciting, the plot building and the writing are solid. The pacing is excellent. This is a book I think I will very much enjoy going forward. Armorclads is a book that is showing off some excellent potential.”
“I don’t yet know if Armorclads will win my heart the way pretty much every Valiant book has in the past but I find myself wanting it to. It’s got a lot going for it. If you like anything involving people in mechanised suits fighting alien bugs on a far off world then Armorclads is for you. It’s full of strong potential.”
“I have loved this run of Ninjak so far and this is another excellent issue. I really hope for more soon.”
“With really wonderful art, the same fun writing and a dash of plot this is another excellent issue of Ninjak.”
“It’s just a really good book. Recommended.”
“If you have never read any Ninjak before I would certainly say this is a great jumping on point. If, like me, you have read a lot of Ninjak in the past you will certainly find a lot to enjoy here.”
