In the 2010's, my favorites have been Ninjak and Doctor Mirage.

V1: X-O, EW and Shadowman
VEI: Harbinger and FVL Archer & Armstrong

Miss V1 but founds the arcs in the VEI series above an improvement to the same books in V1. Harbinger and Archer & Armstrong V1 haven’t aged well...as I remember them much cooler back in the day. Yes, I said it!

Rereading Shadowman from acclaim has been better than I remember it.
XO has always been a favorite.

Yes, my favorite character has changed a lot. Under Russ Manning he was a boy scout, under Shooter he was a social commentory, under Dynamite he was even a woman for a while ;)

But seriously, yes, under VEI I have not stuck to one favorite character. It has changed as the titles come and go.

I also remember a few alternate versions -- Alien, Belle, Buffalo, Fat, Guru, Rabbi, and Sister Magnus, plus the Virus.

I haven't read too many VEI versions of EW but my favorite is still in AA Vol 2.

My next favorite is when he confronts XO.

The Unity version seems like more or less the same guy, I guess.

EW: Sword of the Wild was really a big disappointment for me because of the lack of continuity.

I'm curious...what was your favorite story with EW?

On my favs, my enjoyment of XO shifted sharply down by Armor Hunters. He had lost his barbarian edge. XO has been tamed. XO has gone soft. Well, written that way.

Planet Death and the immediate follow-ups were the glorious end for me. I've kept reading the following titles out of morbid curiosity I guess
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?
