Based on my memory (only read them when they were released), Messiah CompleX takes it. I remember really enjoying the series, likely because of the non-stop action and Gambit having a decent role.

Haven't caught up on Deathstroke's run, unfortunately. That does remind me that I still need to read the Lazarus Contract, though. That's technically where it starts, right?

Yeppers, the Lazarus contract creates the context and leads into Defiance. I knew you read quite a bit of Deathstroke in the past (read your articles and comments).

What comics have you been reading lately?

I'll likely be very tempted to catch up after reading Lazarus Contract.

My reading is limited since I'm "between jobs" but Old Man Logan is the one that I'm really trying not to miss. Same with Rumble and I Hate Fairyland. You?

I'm just wishing Dinesh a good future because, based on my interactions with him, I think he deserves it.

The news is a double-edged sword to me. IMHO Valiant needs to expand into movies, TV shows, etc to increase exposure and generate new fans. It shouldn't come at the cost of its terrific comics, though. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

I don't remember the very first issue that I read (I recall various X-Men comics, but no specifics), but the one that stands out to me is Gambit #1. I remember buying it and the experience I had while I read it. Do I like it now? It's been awhile since I've reread it, so I can't say.

That really depends on Infinity War's ending, which I won't know until after I see the movie (really hoping it's not spoiled for me). And no, I do not think the MCU's popularity will decline. If anything, I think films like Captain Marvel and Black Panther 2 (totally happening) will keep the universe's popularity strong.

It says you joined in Oct 2015, but my time as CV staff ended in early 2015. I posted less frequently after that, but battles is also where I post the most and that was a big focus when I was writing for the site too (Best Battles in New Comics, Battle of the Week).

Hmmmmm. I don't remember reading any when I was young, but Civil War is when I got back into comics, so I guess that's my answer.

You want my thoughts on the series so far?

Okay. It might change if I rewatch or as episodes keep rolling out.

I like

- Action (No surprise since this is where Batinthesun shines right? Best define characters through fighting probably.)

- Music (that and the fact there is an opening caught me off guard).

- Costumes and makeup (X-O Manowar's helmet seem a bit too big if you ask me though, so I feel bad saying he look better without it since I like characters with their headgear on).

- Effects (Roku's hair, Livewire's electric draining and shooting, Ninja-K's gadgets, Bloodshot's healing giving off a glow seem like nice idea that nanites which are microscopic machines are doing something and set it apart from Wolverine or Deadpool more "biological-based" healing are probably the best for me)

- Flashback scenes (I give credit for Batinthesun trying to establish and show friendship Colin has with the people that are now after him, should put a bit of weight emotionally).

- Savage Easter Egg (I think this happened when Neville pulled his desk drawer for a gun and a paper that says "Where is Savage?" was seen. It was in the trailer as well.

Savage is a new character by B. Clay Moore and I think designed by Lewis Larosa. The character is of British decent and are popular figures if I remember correctly, and disappeared, so I guess having a paper like that in Alcott's drawer makes sense.

I admit, I only noticed when others pointed out, but easter eggs are nice for eagle-eyed viewers who know their stuff. There could be more.

Okay with

- Acting (Hit and miss for me personally sometimes, but knowing more or less of Batinthesun's strengths and weaknesses, you would have seen it coming and braced yourself.)

- Opening (I think it is nice premise on using "published" comic art now that it was mentioned by someone else I think. Like creators giving nod and respect to comic and source material. Makes me think of days when Marvel movie used to have those comic pages flip effects and bam, Marvel logo appears. Nowadays it just shows MCU art if I remember correctly.).

Just needs a little more editing if you ask me.

- Character (Voices and character sometimes for me do not match well with what I read and imagined, but hey, only sometimes.)

British accent for Ninjak felt like missed opportunity to set him apart from other ninja-esque characters for first impressions, but I think Mr. Rowe in an obscure interview explained in a story-sense that he does not have accent because he is a "well-traveled" man or something. Sounds like an anime protagonist a few times, just a few. Though a Ninjak anime would be nice to see.

Though I think Archer and Armstrong seem to be the most spot-on casting if you ask me...and Colonel Capshaw I guess more or less.

- X-O Armor (Armor did not spread into tiny pieces or "liquify" itself Ryan Bodenheim style in Visigoth arc in Kindt's X-O manowar or something to form around Aric like I was expecting. Felt more like "Power Ranger" morphing or something in a sense. A bit of a "aw man" for me, but I can live with the different "suit up" interpretation, and probably a nod to Jason David Frank's Power Ranger days I guess).

Thanks for elaborating. How long is each episode? Like, 15 min or so? Thinking I may watch them during lunch today.

No disrespect to comicbook.com but I hope Valiant eventually puts them on YouTube or at least releases a collection. Tried to watch via my phone and it had some trouble.

Guess we'll never know. Maybe DMG wanted this product out there quickly and then cast aside before they start releasing movies?

@k4tzm4n: When are you going to be watching Infinity War (If you haven't already watched it?).

Being a Battle Forum veteran, do you find it hard to watch comicbook film and trailers without over-analysing the feats?

What's your third favourite Spider-Villain (I'm presuming your first two are Kraven and Cardiac) :p

I know Joe Kelly's work is influential, but I think I'd give it to Fabian Nicieza (thanks to his work with Cable & Deadpool) and then Gerry Duggan. Both deliver the variety of laughs you'd expect from Wade but also land the emotional, character-driven content, and pack some legitimate thrills.

In a few hours!

No, I don't think it takes away from the enjoyment while watching it, especially with trailers (I always want full context). I do like to think about it afterwards, though.

Ha! Eddie Brock. Thanks to Spider-Man The Animated Series, I've always had a soft spot for Shocker, Rhino, and Scorpion.

I know I didn't dislike it, but the fact I can barely remember it says I wasn't totally enthralled by it. Maybe I'll give it a *ahem* second chance at some point. I think I just wasn't as emotionally invested at that point.

No, my contact with studios are really just limited to opportunities like screenings/press opportunities. I have no interest in going for "scoops" and what not, so I don't try to reach out - I imagine they're busy and I don't want to get anyone in trouble just for clicks.
