    Default Getting Silly With The Talking X-O Manowar Poster

    This is the Valient promo for the talking X-O Manowar poster, that uses a QR Code to launch a video on an smartphone, becoming the mouth of the character;

    Drawn by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, scripted by Robert Venditti and animated by Neal Adams' Continuity Studios. This is a video of it in action at the most recent ComicsPro - until Valiant asked Bleeding Cool to take it down.

    This is me trying to do it with an iPad so that it looks rather silly.

    And this is me trying to do it with an iPad on me so that it looks ever sillier.

    The posters will be sent out to comic stores imminently. Why not try it yourself?

    years of digging thru 25cent bins has etched into my brain that valiant is a trash publisher. just too many years of paper cuts on gimmick covers and loathing valiant as the crap i had to dig thru to get to the good stuff. i bet these new books will have potential, but i wish they would have changed the damn names (publisher, title, etc). its trained into my subconcious to avoid them, along with some others. And frankly, this poster thing just reminds me of the same gimmicky crap that made me sick of comics in the 90s.

    sorry Valiant, nothing personal. just being honest.

    yeah, pretty much what he said!!

    The anxiety caused when a person's mind over-rides the body's natural urge to choke the living shit out of some arsehole who deserves it.

    I liked some of the second try at Valiant, Quantum & Woody, Shadow Man, Trinity Angels & a few miniseries, but I never clicked with the old versions of the characters and I despise Gimmicks like that.

    The art by Cary Nord looks amazing! I am glad they posted the colors now.
    I will be getting the QR variant. Cool concept!

    You know if they really want my interest, they really need to come out and give us a dang price.

    Midtown Comics has it listed with a pre-order price of $2.59 ($3.99 cover). It will be an over-sized issue it sounds too.

    I was wondering what happened to Cary Nord! His run on Conan was pure genius. Sold!
