Sweet! I was afraid they weren't coming til tomorrow. I get way too excited for solicitations... Thoughts on covers and shit to follow later tonight..

Getting unity Palmer joins the team, he's a good replacement for bloodshot.
Divinity- who is that girl on the cover?
Timewalker- looking forward to seeing the immortal bros together again.
Vu handbook- no fan should miss this.

I agree Shadowras, I love me a good handbook.

[TheFerg714]

1. Only 8 books, excluding the handbook. Lame.

2. I wish Rai would have been more clear about when the breaks are gonna take place. Are we getting #9 next month, or in 4 months, like last time?

3. Dead Drop looks like so much fun. I love that it's using heroes from across the spectrum: A- (X-O), B- (Archer), C- (Cejudo & Neville), and D-tier (Beta-Max). This might be the first Valiant book that I buy two covers for. Both the Raul Allen one with X-O, and the team-up cover by Adam Gorham are amazing. This is going to be the perfect answer to Secret Wars and Convergence. It's like Valiant is saying, "Look guys, we don't have to have a major event every summer!"

4. Not much to say about X-O, besides I'm going to be very upset if Rafa Sandoval doesn't get to draw an arc or two (especially if Aric goes to space). He's really blowing me away with everything he's doing, and it seems like Valiant is grooming him to join as a full-time artist.

5. Still iffy about Timewalker, and I'm kind of wishing the "team" he forms only consisted of him and his brothers. Also what the hell does "history’s most re-tweeted prankster THE LURKER" mean?

6. I don't understand why every comic didn't get the "25th Anniversary" treatment.

7. Definitely getting the variant cover for the handbook, although it's confusing how many lines I'm seeing in Sandoval's cover, compared to his work in X-O.

8. Ninjak looks/sounds fantastic. All the covers are amazing, especially the Larosa and Sandoval (there's that name again) covers.

9. Imperium: "The last, greatest gambit he needs is deep within the clutches of his most powerful opponents."

Nuff said.

10. I love that Ray Palmer is joining Unity. I think he could make a great addition to the roster, and I hope he doesn't leave after this issue.

11. The Harbinger Deluxe Vol. 2 looks amazing.

Ivar, Timewalker #5 and Ninjak #3.

That moment when you realize you're going to be reading Valiant's entire line. That hasn't happen since Justin Jordan left Shadowman.

Yeah, The Atom is a great character!!!

I think Valiant forgot to include their mention about Rai. They just tweeted an image that the next arc begins in August with issue #9.

Have they said who will be doing art now that Clayton Crain is doing that new book with Todd McFarlane?

He's still the artist on Rai, according to the tweet. If I recall rightly, Crain already finished the work on the McFarlane book.

[thewarning]

You're correct!

With no Q&W book I'm glad to be able to say I'm 100% excited for all their releases for May!!!

RAI #9-August
RAI #10-Sept
RAI #11-Oct
RAI #12-Nov

I'm already giddy anticipating that RAI Deluxe OHC vol.1 in 2016, anyone else!!!!

[Agent 37]

I'm actually pretty pleased that Palmer is joining Unity. He'll definitely add a new dynamic to the team, on and off the field.

Sweet, I'm ok with a break for a little while. I'm glad Valiant addressed it.

I feel so stupid for not having the foresight to just wait for the oversized edition. It holds a special place in my heart though, because it was the first Valiant comic to be added to my subscription.
