Ugh. This series made it to issue 8?? That's sad.

Shame on all of you who are buying this tripe. And thus perpetuating it.

Anyone have any guesses on who the new artist is coming in? I'm not well-versed in Vertigo lore myself, so I haven't a clue.

Also, Walker's still ace on this book. Good to see he's not going anywhere.

People like what they like.

Also, looks like Nara may be willing to play Arcade's little game.

stop whining because different people have different taste from your own, if you don't like it don't buy it, its not like you're paying us to have any say on what we spend $3 on

I buy it, I like it, it's fun. Fictional characters are dying. Oh noes! Whatever shall I do! But hey, I'm not the one calling myself "smug".

It's double shipping in both February and April? AWESOME! Those exclusive previews just make me want to see more!
I really wonder who dies in issue 6. My guess is Nara but if it's not I think it's one of the Braddock Academy kids.

Have they given any indication as to how long this series will run? I like that it's basically a self contained story, but I'd love to have an idea of how long or short it will be so I can plan on adding or removing books from my list to adjust for the schedule.

No mention of it yet, but since they already have the second arc planned out, I think this book can get a good 24-30 issues out of the premise.

Guessing from now on there will be 1 death in 1 arc and that there will be only 1 winner I'd say about 60 issues.

And dat shooting,eating Bloodstone...

I'll spend my hard earned money on whatever the hell I please. I'll light it on fire if I want.

I like the title. So do others. Accept it.

Can't believe Kev Walker is being wasted on this crap

[Drew Melbourne]

For those of you who are freaking out:

1: You loved RUNAWAYS (probably) and they killed off beloved characters there too.

2: I *strongly* suspect that the characters are trapped in virtual reality, and no one is actually dying.

3: Even if they're not in a virtual reality world, they still kind of are, to the extent that comics aren't real.

4: The writing is pretty good on this book.

Hardly, it's a fun book and Walker's knocking it out of the park.
