crookedtreehouse's review against another edition

2.0

Matt Kindt is one of my favorite writers, and I've enjoyed most of his time playing in the sandbox of the Valiant Universe. But this book where a new nemesis shows up: a woman who causes chaos and incited war, and who swears at least once a sentence. It might be the most boring idea Kindt has come up with.

The first three issues are just War-Monger monologuing her history while taking down the individual members of Unity, who you can tell are holding back to regroup in the final issue.

There's even a

death of a character who is introduced in the same issue he's killed

.

The quality of the writing here is about on par with the absolute bottom of the barrel 1990s X-books ([b:X-Men Blue, Vol. 0: Reunion|35959919|X-Men Blue, Vol. 0 Reunion|Steven T.

Coming from Kindt, this is a Massive Disappointment.

While I pretty much love everything Valiant, and I really enjoyed this, there were two big problems. WM was pretty easily defeated each time and the final hero was brought in out of nowhere. Either way, still great.
