Two books in December: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/vali...anowar-ninjak/
Just put in my order for the month of Nov and didn't see any Valiant titles. Are there no Valiant comics coming out in Nov?
No books in November as there has been some, apparently, re-aligning of the publishing schedule since Alien Books was brought in as publisher. There hasn't been a Valiant book on the shelf since April or May. Hopefully this December return sees Valiant books back on track for monthly publication.
December solicit also has the Classic 90s Eternal Warrior Omnibus listed!!

I also noticed a sharp rise in prices, X-O is now $5, and Ninjak superkillers is now $10. Are we getting extra pages or is Valien going the OGN route?

Eternal Warrior Classic Omnibus is out this week, this is your reminder. It is MSRP $125 so find your favorite online site for a discount.
This will likely be my last or second to last Omni buy for 2023.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
March 2024: https://previewsworld.com/Catalog?pub=VALIANT
Expensive one shots at $13.
How many pages is that one shot? Seems like Valiant use the only company to charge so much for their one shots. I hope they don't start a trend.
Last week I bought the X-O Unconquered Book 1 collecting Becky Cloonan's first 3 issues, before the long hiatus. That was $9.99(usd). I didn't need it but I wanted to support Alien Books in their Valiant efforts. Plus it saved me having to reopen my bagged/boarded copies already. It was nice to just read that then issue 4 in one sitting.
So I'm extrapolating here, assuming based on 3 issues at $9.99 and roughly 66 pages that these One shots MAY be about 90 pages/4 issues worth of content at $13.99usd

Last night it was time to bag/board some of the books I'd read from prior week.
Discovered that these Alien Book square bound floppy style editions are too big for a standard Silver Age bag/board. As I type this I wonder if I took the board out would it squeeze into the bag, if so would that be ok since it is square bound.
At my LCS this afternoon I shall discuss.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
X-O Unconquered #5 came out yesterday. Anyone pick it up and/or read it yet?
Having now read it all to date over the last 3 weeks I'm a bit more eager for the conclusion.
Aric and Shanhara are in bad shape and I'm curious to see how they handle Thyla and her X-X armor along with the Novus Romanus ship.
The intro of a new Geomancer also has my curiosity piqued.
