@fallschirmjager: thanks man, this is gonna be awesome to read

Wow. This is awesome!

@fallschirmjager: nice, is it okay if I steal the Eternal Warrior scans for his respect thread? Which is rather pathetic as of now.... Also Ninjak isn't dead.

idc.

you sure? he looked dead to me :3

yeah, they wouldn't kill if off that fast, and IIRC I heard he has a big spotlight in the next arc of Unity

@allstarsuperman: well ill edit it when the next issue comes out if he's still alive :p

@fallschirmjager: http://valiantuniverse.com/comics/unity/unity-4/

@allstarsuperman: ah ok ill edit it

Nice work!

@fallschirmjager: I've seen this title pop up in the reviews section, so I skimmed the first couple of scans you put up. I stopped at Issue 4 since it was getting too good. Thanks to you, I'll be buying this book now :-)

@alak: It's really awesome!

Bump!

@fallschirmjager: great thread duder

Turns out, I can't edit the OP anymore, so further updates will be posting in my 2nd reply. (glad I made it^^)

In case anyone is wondering.

Why?

@allstarsuperman: ...old ass comment but whatever. I'll shamelessly bump my own thread.

After the recent site updates, old posts got jacked up image wise. I tried editing my Aquaman respect thread after the updates and ALL the images *poofed* out of the OP. Luckily I had the foresight to organize all my scans in folders on my PC so re-uploading them was somewhat trivial.

However. I didn't do that with X-O Manowar, so if I were to edit the OP, I would lose all those scans and have to redo it all x.x.

Also, sorry for the lack of updates. I've been lazy. Haha. Don't think anything too noteworthy has happened since Issue 24 anyway for Aric. Mostly more of the same - though I expect some more cool shit to happen with Armor Hunters now.

@fallschirmjager: yeah thats happened to my Kickass, Hit-Girl, and EW threads, it sucks. I am gonna have to reload everything. And yeah I am also think Armor Hunters will give him some good feats.

That sucks dude.

Yeah, I agree. Especially if he ends up fighting the Bigass Space Robot/Ship that blew up Mexico City :p

@fallschirmjager: You need to update this bro :p

lazy, bro.

@fallschirmjager: what is aric immortal

Aric is a mere mortal man.
