First post but longtime Valiant fan

Post by Triton76 »

The first time I bought Valiant comics I was going thru a bargain bin and bought Rai and the Future force 9-15 or so for cheap. Rai was still a current comic at the time. Well I loved the story and continued with it to the end. I also got into Turok, X-O, and tried new titles as they started up like Geomancer and Ninjak. I attended some Valiant discussions at ComiCon while they were still in biz. Got a couple sweet freebies there. At the most recent Con I attended a discussion and found out about this cool site. I am actually selling my entire collection tomorrow, about 4000 comics. But I told the buyer I will be keeping a couple of titles; one will be Rai.

Welcome to the boards. I'm a huge Rai fan myself, although I prefer the original one. The book started to lose a lot for me when they switched over to "Future Force".

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!
I did sell my whole comic collection except for one box of beloved story lines I wanted to read one more time and the few titles I read currently. Also the buyer had a Honda so one box did not fit. It was the Valiant box in which he had no interest so he said just keep it. Sweet! I am already on Ebay looking for more Valiants! Solar and Eternal Warrior and X-O.
