Armor Hunters, Round 5

Posted by

Only The Valiant LogoIt is our fifth and final round of Armor Hunters discussion. In this episode: Armor Hunters #4, X-O Manowar #29, and the fallout in Armor Hunters: Aftermath.

We talk about the QR variant of Armor Hunters #4, and what GIN-GR should have said. Also, is GIN-GR a lady robot?

The Armor Hunters get taken out, neutralized one by one in this issue, in a very rapid manner. We talk about who takes who down, and which take down was our favorite. We also comment on Bloodshot’s newfound propensity for 80’s action movie one-liners.

At the heart of this story, however, we have a clash between teo men. Reebo and Aric. The Primary vs. the X-O Manowar. How are these men the same? How are they different? We talk about these two men, and how the journey they have been on determines how they act in this story.

Then we move on to Malgam, Sven, and X-O Manowar #29.

Sven. Sven! Oh, why oh why did he have to have that fate! We discuss Sven, his history, and why he is so important to Valiant Fandom. Then we get on with it and talk about how he is working for and what he was up to.

Then Malgam. He got a very satisfying ending in this series. We talk about what we liked about this conclusion.

Last of all, we talk about that spear knife, and what role it may be playing in the future of this series.

The final issue in our discussion is Armor Hunters: Aftermath, which we all agree was a great wrap up, and launching point for things to come.

This book has a whole lot of status quo changes for our characters, we talk about how things have changed, and how we liked the way those changes were told to us in this story.

A couple of the Armor Hunters are still around, and we talk about their ultimate fate, as we saw in this issue.

We round this out with a fantastic round of Ask Chiclo.
