Cover looks OK, but I'm sure they will find some way to completely botch the story.

I still think this line would be better as one-shots. Getting people to pick up minis starring relatively unknown characters is a heavy lift.
I like Belit and Valeria but I d9nt think Marvel is doing them any favors in this format.

I wonder who wrote the novella?
Edited to Add: I do wish Marvel would name ALL the creators in their PR, even the novella writers (this one's not one of mine, BTW).

Are they going to do a book of Thoth style story

Considering Howard only showed us Thoth once and just mentioned him three or four other times, lots of ground left to cover rather than an origin story. Like what he was doing after he got his ring back and returned to power in Stygia as HOTD mentions.

I guess we'll get a little peek at what Meredith Finch can do as writer in the next issue of SSOC.
It's gotta be a lot better than Tini Howard's Belit, I hope.

I want this one to be good... I'll give it a shot. Same here. The only thing that I'm apprehensive about is that they're going for another ORIGIN story, again.

Yeah, we don't need a fucking origin story for every character.

I would enjoy it if they would do these stories similar to their marvel knights line. A bit more rough around the edges compared to what we got with the steaming pile that AOC Belit was. It would be nice to see Valeria done with a more mature audience in mind rather than to an early teen audience, which AOC Belit seemed to be aimed at.
I agree with you Jason that these should be done as one shots or at the most two parters.
I would especially love to see both these tales of Belit and Valeria done by European writers and artists, and aimed toward a more European audience mentality.
I wish these Age of Conan titles well and would like them to succeed, and I hope Valeria does this.
