Made me laugh. I would disagree with you on the second story. I don't think it was suppose to be funny. I think it was suppose to be pretty vague and set up stuff that will be followed up on. And the villain over-explained everything. I think that is just a part of who he is, a motormouthPatrick Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244634751009770437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892865276755822178.post-61696269598683475052008-06-05T13:32:00.000-07:002008-06-05T13:32:00.000-07:00Mister: as Dan already said, I doubt you'll find a...Mister: as Dan already said, I doubt you'll find any problems accessing the book. One of the things Valiant did really well in their first couple of years was making sure each book made sense on it's own, even if you were not reading the other four or five books being published. I have the trades for the Unity Saga, and they are be a pain to read though, because you'll read the same scene four times in each characters book.Patrick Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244634751009770437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892865276755822178.post-2065395869092004592008-06-05T10:30:00.000-07:002008-06-05T10:30:00.000-07:00When I read Trinity, I just kept wondering how thi...When I read <B>Trinity</B>, I just kept wondering how this could be the same writer that does <B>Astro City</B>.<BR/><BR/>Unless you're writing an issue of Not Brand Ecch, having a character explain an acronym in the middle of the fight is some frightfully bad writing. [Actually, that second story seemed like it was supposed to be funny, but who knows. It wasn't coming off very well.]<BR/><BR/>I think this is the problem with extended mini-series or whatever they are: I think they assume we'll read the series and make no effort to write a first issue that is a good hook. <BR/><BR/>I left the issue wondering what else people will find sexy about Bruce Wayne . . . the way he clenches? How much more deferring will Clark be . . . "Do you have the time? You don't have to tell me, of course. But if you did, I'd appreciate it." <BR/><BR/>To each his own, but I thought this was pretty much a throw-away book that did nothing to earn my buying #2.guttertalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291384684736393643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892865276755822178.post-81291598472944359672008-06-05T10:15:00.000-07:002008-06-05T10:15:00.000-07:00I didn't read Harbinger the first time around eith...I didn't read Harbinger the first time around either, but I did get the hardcover a few months ago* and really enjoyed it. <BR/><BR/>Like X-O, I didn't think the coloring changes were all that impressive in Harbinger, but the story is easy to jump into. <BR/><BR/>And, mister, it definitely is easy to jump into if you've never read any Valiant stuff. Harbinger was one of their first titles, so this collection is actually setting up a lot of Valiant's continuity.<BR/><BR/>*It was delayed through Previews because of the legal issues.
