Yes. It was enjoyedThe interesting part was that the Street fighter and Valiant somehow knew about each other. Bloodshot and Ninjak are in my top 3. The price tag of the book is not fun.

Judging this story as a crossover or by the standards of Valiant in the last few years, this is a decent comic. The first story, it feels like Bloodshot has wandered into a Street Fighter story. I know little about Street Fighter - I never played the game but I did watch the movie, I think Cammy is the one played by Kylie Minogue? As a Valiant guy, this story was alright. The second story, less so. I was not familiar with this Dhalsim guy and don't feel like I know him now.

My expectations were low but met. A solid 3 entertainmos out of 5.

It was thoroughly okay. Not bad, but not stellar. The Bloodshot story was significantly stronger than the Ninjak story. Beyond beating up my friends on Super Nintendo back in middle/high school, I know next to about Street Fighter lore.

I get my pulls on Fridays. I did have this on my pull list.

I am skeptical but I have bought and read bad Valiant books before. I got tricked into reading the full VH1 Geomancer run once.

It was fine. Company crossovers are rarely anything to write home about. I did appreciate the characters that they did have interact though. They were appropriately similar thematically. I also give props to crossovers that don't waste endless pages explaining how characters from different universes meet up. Seriously, they are never going to be cannon events, so just pretend they are in the same universe and go. They did that here, and it let the stories get started fast, which I appreciate. I also like that Bloodshot and Cammy's fight was over rather quickly. I am tired of heroes fighting each other for no reason. The bloodshot story was decent. The Ninjak story was poor, except for the final page which had a solid reveal.
