Valiant Comics is Entering the Spotlight

My attention is shifting heavily towards Valiant's work lately. Between both their releases in print and upcoming films, the following certainly have me excited.

1. Live-action movies!  Eric Heiserrer, Oscar-nominated writer of Arrival, has been tapped to write a Bloodshot film, and casting is under way.  This is part of a reported 5 film deal with Sony for Valiant to include Harbinger Wars and Shadowman films as well.

2. Secret Weapons- Heiserrer is also behind the release of the intriguing new Secret Weapons series.  Teens with powers deemed "useless" who band together to find their place in the world.

3. X-O Manowar- There has been an excellent X-O Manowar series that needs to be read. Now 4 issues in, and with a TPB being released, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

4.Harbinger Wars- Set to coincide with the release of the Bloodshot film in 2018, Valiant has Harbinger Wars 2 hitting print as well.

10 Best Game of Thrones episodes as rated by IMDB users

See the list here!

"Baelor" is a surprising omission.  The death of Ned Stark is arguably THE watershed moment of the series.  "Battle of the Bastards" and "The Winds of Winter" are great episodes, but I'm not in agreement that they are the undisputed #1 and #2.  They do benefit from being so recent, from the "not even the readers know what's coming now" effect, and inarguably, great direction. What is your favorite?

Well, I've been gone from here far too long.

I'm back in this saddle again (btw, Blazing Saddles is about to be removed from Netflix streaming lineup on July 1st...watch it now while you can!) and ready to share my very important opinions on all things geek.

A lot has happened in the past 2 years, since I posted about trouble with HBO's failure to keep up with demand for streaming services, but I won't dwell on the dumpster-fire of celebrity deaths and political idiocy that was 2016.  

HEY!  Game of Thrones is only 17 days away!  I am very impressed with many fan-made promotional posters for this 7th season.  I could easily justify having one of each and wallpaper a room of my house with them.  My girlfriend might even go along with it.  (maybe?)  

Keep checking back regularly! Much more to come.  Also follow me on Twitter @overgeekingit
